The 4500 has been available in Mexico for years and does not appear to be just a rebadged 3500. Have not yet seen a 5500.

Tell him to get the F650 and he can get the Cummins ISB.

Re:Dodge RAM 4500 and 5500

It has been a couple of years, but my son and I were looking at a Ford dealer in Branson Mo and they had the most interesting array of trucks. If I am not mistaken we were looking at a F650 4wd four door. Like I said I think it had 4wd. The engines available were Cummins (standard) and the Power Stroke and Cat for options.

The PSD is the standard engine for the F550/F650s. The Cummins costs extra so it's an UPGRADE.

Unless Ford changed it in the last year, the Cummins is the standard engine on the 650 and 750.
