Just to let you know. The Truck is a 5500 CC. The Dealer is M&L Motors in Lexington, NC 27295. They have the truck on the lot ready to go. I will be getting some pictures from them here in a couple hours. I will PM you my cell number for questions.

That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about!!!! When I go to the M&L Motors inventory website off the dodge.com link, it shows only 1 5500 available and it is a 2 door model.
We will be in North Carolina by the second week of October. Maybe this sweet ride will still be available.

Here's a link to the Warner site if anyone's interested. I've never seen a pick-up bed on the 4500 but I like it.

I agree 100%. I cant stand seeing trucks towing w/ their load not level...whatever it is. And I cant help but think that the axle flip on t.t. and 5ers is not exactly safe. Would it not create even more chance for a rollover or flip in a turn...not to mention dangerous in high winds???
My wife is originally from the central coast of Cali.(right down the street from Pismo dunes) Everytime we visit I see guys that have MASSIVE lifte trucks and Jacked Up t.t and 5ers. I just think it looks very unsafe.
Other than that, beautiful truck.

I have seen bigger discounts on 1 year old rigs (that are in demand) that just take up lot space. Granted they aren't 4500/5500 series.
Good luck finding the right one.

Wow. That is pretty steep even with their "discount". One would think the carryover inventory cost and taxes implications would be enough for them to drop the price just to move it. Especially for an '08.

The key at this point is the amount they give for your trade... The dealer isn't going to really get to the bottom until they see some money. They need to know that you are serious..
