Have you seen the new pic of the Ram 5500 in diesel power page 232...

" take a 10-lug, Class 5, regular cab, 6.7l cummins ram, stretch the bed out to 10 feet, and you get a Dodge that's "bft'(built for towing of course)."

Looks killer!!!

I'm sure they were thinking the same thing when they named it. I know that's what I call it!

It's a good thing it's got 22.5" duals to haul that chopper.

Sometimes I think a 10' bed would be handy but I'd never drive a useless reg. cab to get it. As for the "Built For Towing" tag, how high does this truck sit? Could you even get under a GN or 5er? If you can't it might aswell stand for "Built Ford Tough"
