you know, sterling makes a strong truck. I wonder how long the front end on one of those class 5 Cab and chassis models with a nice big flatbed would hold up compared to a dodge?

 

nice truck for sure....and even look like a dodge...

 

it's the same truck as the Dodge with some styling changes (most notably the front grill)...

 

Me Likey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

price difference?
also I would imagine ther service department from sterling is better since they deal with Fleet applications and many have 24 hour roadside assitance. gotta keep them trucks on the road workin!

 

does dodge produce this truck? looks sharp, especially with a regular dually bed on it and if it were parked in my front yard!!!!!

 

That's one mean looking truck!!!

 

Guys, it is nothing more than the new Ram 4500/5500 with a Sterling grille, that is all.

 

Ok, were can I get a Sterling Grill

 

I called sterling out of N.J. and spoke with a salesman. Said on thursday they were having a meeting and they might be told what the cost of those trucks might be. He said he was guessing anywhere from 30k to 50k.He said to give a call back after thursday and they should know more about pricing.

 

I like the 19.5 inch wheels. I wish Dodge offered that as an option on our trucks.

 

Disappointment again. I was hoping the 5500 would be more than 26k in combined ability, and no real crew cab with 8ft left over.

Searched a dealer in my location, and it was a Ford Dealer in Orlando. Their truck division.

This thread made me start to wonder why since DC owns Detroit Diesel and DD makes the MBE900 motor why then doesn't Dodge have these in them instead of the Cummins. Does any one know? It would only seem logical to me to use a engine that is produces by some part of the same company rather than go out side.

 

What axles are under those trucks?
