2010 1 ton long box single wheel

Anyone know if Dodge will be offering a single wheel 1 ton quad cab truck?

I am trying to decide what to do with my 05, either put money into it, or get a new truck.

The 06-09 3500s are so ugly, the exterior is ugly but the interior is horrific, compared to the competition its embarrassing. I am sure they will have deals on 09 1 tons but man,

I hope dodge makes the 2010 affordable and treats returning customers right, or I'm going to a Ford

Beauty is in the eye of the Beer Holder,

I think the 06-09 Exteriors look better that the 03-05.

I like the interior of both.

From what I read a while back, all diesels will be one ton, whether single or dual wheel. Cant remember the source, but I did read it.

I don't know what you call ugly But I like my 09 and for as Ford go buy one. We will see how long it takes for you come back to the GOOD LOOKING MIGHTY DODGE CUMMINS Really you cant beat the deals they are giving on them mine was $52.900 and I hit right below $40.000. Good luck on your hunt for a Diesel.

It won't be a quad cab long bed, supposed to be a crew like the Chebbies and Furds.

I don't get why people like the Ford body style. It has been about the same for 10 years now. They changed the grille and headlights, that is about it. Looks like a big box to me. If I was a papaw I would get a Ford. I have worked with Ford Powerstrokes at work for 3 years now, 7.3 and 6.0 they suck. 7.3s have no power and the 6.0s get a new turbo and egr about every 7000 miles. No joke our 06 F-550 had 6 turbos in 32K miles! And 5 egrs! Yea get you a Ford!

I grew up on Fords, but after owning a Dodge, I will never look back. Plus, I am REALLY turned off by the fact that you can't do much work on the powerstroke without pulling the cab. That is absolutely rediculous to design a truck so restrictively. They could at least design a tilt cab for it.

I think you have it backwards, all 1-tons will be diesels (no Hemi 3500s):

TTT here.

Is there a 4th gen Long bed 4 door truck SINGLE WHEEL 1 ton? Or a diesel 2500 at least?

The single wheel long box is a big seller for dodge and ford. WHY would they drop it? What am I missing?

I test drove a crew cab long box 2500 today. Why wouldn't they make a SRW 3500?

As justcampin posted, I have one.

In my opinion the 3500 is so well engineered ride wise now and offers more work product, I'm not sure why you would need a 2500 these days. But, I don't live with both of them like some do.

I think they are priced pretty close? Over 5 years the difference probably wouldn't matter too much.
