I think it looks pretty good. If I needed duals I wouldn't hesitate.

Available as a 3500 series, configured with 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrains, in SLT or Laramie trim and with a six-foot, three-inch box.....
Well, I guess I should go buy stock in Pullrite since their sliding 5th wheel hitch sales should skyrocket!

I think they should have flared the front fenders out a little bit. I think those new dually fenders look pretty cool though. Now to save my pennies and wait for the long bed version...

Well, I WAS interested in a Mega Cub Dually until seeing this thing. Why couldn't they have used the normal fender flares? Here's hoping they do for the long bed because that thing is ugly.

I like it. The rear fenders give it the retro look of the earlier Dodge duallies.

Yeah, it kinda reminds me of a 1st generation dually.

But it's a short bed.... When ya got duals DC should know that short beds are as useful as rubbers at a lesibean convention.

Those dually fenders might not like it when someone puts any weight on them.
I would have to have a look to see how strong they are.

The idea of having a flare with the same contours as the rear would work better too.

I will wait for a long bed.

SOOOOOOOOO glad I got my '05 before it was too late!! these trucks just look too peiced together. Looks like they had spare parts laying around, and said, try this, and try that!!

If anybody knows Howard Stern and his famous friend Beetlejuice, thats what these trucks remind me of!! BIG here, tiny there. Just too out of praportioned.

And ya think for an almost $60,000 truck, they would come out with beefier fenders!!

Dodge already messed up the Durango now this. One thing I always liked about the new dodge dually was the way the fender flares looked coming at you.
This looks like crap!!!!

They put those ghey flares on it to steer your attention away from the rear cab pillar. What a joke! GM and Ford both made shortbox duallies for a little while and I think they both looked kick-*** but this Dodge creation is just terrible! Might as well kiss your long-box dually goodbye because I'm sure it will have these same stupid flares.
