I really like it, the grille fits the body well and the flares and 19.5s look good.

That is a nice looking truck! Fit a regular dually bed on it and I'd have to think twice about trading mine in...

Most Sterling dealers are Ford dealers - it'll be interesting to see if they can steer any of the F450/550 customers over to the Sterling.

grill would be great if you take the STERLING off of it. The S is plenty

The other Dodge?!
Well as I sat at work tonight and looked at today's USA Today I finished one section shut it and on the back was a huge page size ad for this. Looks like DC is trying its hand and sale against its self.

Yeah Sterling is part of Frieghtliner and it is part DC. I guess it only makes since to try and catch people that are not fond of Dodges. I don't think they will be fooled by it handsom looks.

Yeah, but Sterling was formed when Ford sold off thier big truck operation to Freightliner (owned by D/C), and many Ford dealers that just sell commercial trucks, continued on as Sterling dealers after the sale.

The Sterling dealer here also sells Ford pickups, and they are called Mid-Tenn Ford.

cool truck, but ...

what the heck is this?

"Life-to-overhaul interval of 350,000 miles — a 100,000 mile advantage over competitive engines."

I know diesel rabbits that can do that! And I sure expect that my 12 valve cummins will last longer than that before needing overhauled. Heck, I'm less than 85K from that figure already!

Far as I know that has always been the published figure (very conservative) for the 5.9L Cummins.
