Has anyone looked into the cost of one of these trucks? Seems like Gale Banks has put a lot of engineering into these trucks - seen a couple of them on TV programs. And 500 HP 1000 tq. isn't anything to sneeze at. I might be interested in one if a) the price was right, and b) it came with an actual warranty from Banks that compared to the DC warranty... Nice looking truck - anyone else have better pics of the Dodge version?

did u see at the bottom where the hp and tq #s are at thr flywheel and not the tires ?

 

Yes, I saw that they're flywheel numbers, but that's still a decent improvement over 325/610, and I have had some acquaintances that are running Banks products state they're happy with the overall quality of the products. Just wondering how much they want to charge for all of that quality and how much they're willing to stand behind (i.e. warranty) their products.

 

I'm sure they'll be nice and expensive. I'll be surprised if they're under $45k.

 

$45k??? Heck ide be suprised if there under $55k. A guy at church who has a few banks things on his truck says he heard $50k, but I dont see how they could be that cheap considering they all start at $40K+ factory.

 

I've heard prices around $60k.

 

I've heard $70k

 

I heard 90K...Canadian eh.

 

Well, on Xtreme4x4 on Spike TV, they mentioned that the truck was worth 65k. don't know if this is what they are charging or not.

 

I wouldn't touch it with a ten ft pole! I've heard way to many horror stories about banks products that don't have nearly the advertised hp and pitiful customer service. I'll build my own "Sidewinder Butt-Kicker" with others' products that will be backed when an issue presents itself.

 

I've heard Special K.

 

Dude...that DuraMaxx looks funky! I will be glad when Chevy redesigns that crazy front grill.

On a posistive note the Dodge is sweet! I wonder what fender flares those are? I have been looking for some....

 

I'll go with BigBlue and Torque it up and say it will be in the $60K range. I did see the Spike TV episode where they were featuring the KORE Dodge truck and his suspension, and they showed one of these trucks. They said it was valued at $60K.
