If dodge could come up with something to match this, it would be a feat. I think ford is on top of the game when it comes to heavy duty. I still love my dodge, but if i wanted to go bigger, i'd have to go with ford or peterbilt.<br><br><br>http://www.horsetrailers-online.com/...ail.asp?ID=155

One of the guys that pulls tractors with me uses a GMC about that size, four door, diesel, and all. It is sweet for sure. Lots of $$$$ though.

Re:Hate to do this, but if dodge.......

Can't you get the 5.9 in a 650? I thought it was an option, along with a Cat diesel. I'm pretty sure the PowerStroke is standard equipment, you have to lay down some extra $$$$$$$ to get a real diesel.

That is one sweeeet ride though. 8) I'm sure for the small sum of $60 to $70K it could be yours. :'(

Just for fun I went here and spec'd out a F-650.

Ford's Big Trucks

My 650 came close to $60k that's with biggest 5.9 Cummins you can get in it and all other kinds of goodies. The down side is once you get that pretty truck you have to go have one of those cool looking beds put on it. Those beds are probeble close to 6 or $7k. :'(

Go spec out your self a nice truck, it's kinda fun. ;D

Why on earth did you have to show us that! My gosh! That truck is really screwing me up! Makes mine look like an import. Dodge used to make a large version for use in Mexico. I still have the pamphlet on it. Not as nice at that ferd but still hugh!

Re:Hate to do this, but if dodge.......

You should see the dodge trucks they build in Mexico. I saw one that had two sets of axles and and was about the size if not bigger than the fl-70. I wish I would have got a pic but it went by to fast. I do have a pic of some other dodge 4000. that is what they use for their wast removel trucks.<br>DM01

Re:Hate to do this, but if dodge.......

I agree with rich. I would rather have a FL60 or FL70 with a cummins in it. You can get the ISB in the FL60 and the ISC in the FL70. You might even be able to get the ISC in the FL60 too but i am not sure. -Anthony
