Shouldn't a package like that, with all those bells and whistles, at least have been installed with a better slider hitch? Or maybe a convertible gooseneck/fifth wheel combo? I would think a MegaCab shortbed w/5" Stacks would need cornering help from a slider. If that Valley hitch is a slider, then I am sorry for the post.

 

Get rid of the raised roof and put the windows back in and its a pretty nice truck. I really like the vertical slats in the grille though.

 

It's just a useless toy . They actually lowered the towing capacity by adding useless weight . If they weren't going to have a slider hitch , a B&W companion hitch would have been much better . Everybody knows the back seat of a pickup is not wid enough to legally used for a sleeper . Put a non-sliding hitch in a short bed , then block all your windows . I think Jeff Foxworthy has a sign for the designers of this thing and anybody that would buy it .

 

Geez....so negative...

 

obviously not useless, a toy?, what isn't, can't sleep in the back seat?, i think they said it was a movie theater. wrong hitch?

 

I wasn't trying to be overly negative, I just figure if someone is designing an ultimate Interstate Hauler Dodge 3500, they would have thought of that problem. It is kind of cool, but I would rather have a Peterbuilt or something that has the weight capacity to back up the look. What about converting a new Chassis cab instead (other than the lack of the Mega Cab)? Then they could get Tractor Certification for it, and have better hauling capacity. I can't wait for the 4500 and 5500 models! I would love to see some setup like those monster F650 jobs, only done right!

 

Here is the first thing that came to mind when I saw that rig....


I should have put the bolt on the side... but I'm lazy.... what can I say...

Hilarious, the 2nd picture pretty much sums it up!

 

The mirrors are UG & LEE
Just wait about 6 months and you get a Ram 4500 or 5500 Chassis cab

 

How many times is this thing going to be posted?

 

I would like to see a picture of the back sleeper area. Not that I'm going to get one, or even need one, just curious.

 

What about $30k more than the retail price? Give me a break - get a real truck!

 

What I'm seeing lately are a bunch of wannabe's - DMAX with 22.5" tires.

 

It's pretty, but thats about it. And it has to be made for the guy's towing a gooseneck trailer "ONLY". A slider hitch is a MUST for pulling any RV type fifth wheel. at least the type I pull, so the wind wing thingy and the stacks that would hit the 5er end cap?? It's all a waste of weight.
I still like it,,,,,,just because its a Dodge but I would'nt buy one.
