I like it!!! Looks shrap to me! Everyone wants a Ford with a Cummins, well I think this looks pretty darn close and looks good! close enough for me, I hate fords stacked headlights! I think the new fords are ugly anyway.

Dodge still puts the plastic wheel covers on the dually trucks. You'd think they'd offer some wheel options...maybe even some nice aluminum 19.5's as an option.

Reminds me, I gotta find or order some front plastic center caps.

I like the looks of the 3500 DRW, I wonder if during the face lift they made some systems better, Plastic hvac system with breaking blend doors, etc, ball joints, steering box, u-joints ?, I would hope so, the next question, will they even be in business in 2010 ?, that also looks doubtfull.

Don't know if this was posted earlier but there's more pics here including the cab and chassis...

...on a different note I saw my first 2009 1500 on the street today. I guess they aren't exactly selling like "hot cakes" in the current economy.

I know they made the u-joins bigger to help with the higher GCWR and Max. trailer weight.

That must be bad then. I've seen probably 30-40 of them around easily. Not a fan of them at all!

Looks like they took the front bumper from a new chevy and from there up mocked an older power stroke (front end)... I liked the way the dodge was always different and ford and chevy tried to mimic thier buldged fenders, raised hood lines; but now it seems like they have given/blended in with the other two....

The trucks look OK but I kind of think the last body update (before this one) was probably the best and the last one that made them different...

Well it doesn't have to grow on me at all, I liked it immediately.



I'll have a mega DRW with 22.50's on it.



The bonus: I know the suspension systems on this truck inside and out. I know exactly how I'll do that truck, I'm glad they only improved the frame set up with those hydro mounts or whatever.

The downside: I was just thinking today of what all I want to do on my current truck.
