I like it, I saw it long ago in the first thread. I would buy it and remove the junk that is known as banks products and throw them into the garbage where they belong. I like the 10 foot bed, that's just awesome!!
It has banks tuning, it's not gonna blow smoke.......or get out of it's own way.
FAIL!

this truck was built for the specific purpose to create talk about the new 4500 and 5500 C/C series of trucks. The dodge guys saw some trends in the market and built a truck that used a bunch of them .... I've seen more than a few trucks running 22.5s and the flares on the front at the stock 4500 flares just extended, that's why they are on there ...

and yes ... BFT does not mean Built For Towing ...

On a personal note ... I remember growing up back in NY I saw something very similar to this as a kid that's always made me want a truck. It was an 85 GMC 3500 with a custom made 10ft bed, duallies, and a 3" lift sitting on 33s ... I remember getting my license and driving past that guys house just to see the truck ...

Why all the hate? it's a concept vehicle. These are suposed to push the boundries. Without them we wouldnt have anything like what we do today.

Personaly I think it's great! I just wonder what are they going to do with that one? who gets to drive it? or is it going to be torn apart?

I like the 10 ft bed, but with 6" of lift, sits too high for me. When the megacabs first came out, my buddy bought one and stretched the frame on it, turned it into a megacab, long bed dually, I liked his idea better than this, a lot more useful too..

I would like to have it. I also wanted to have the Tonka F350 concept that Ford came out with a few years ago, but they gave it to Toby Keith I think.

When I get my F550 sold, I'm gonna go get one with a hauler bed on it. They are the best truck dodge has thought of in a while. Finally they entered the 4500/5500 world.

Posting that in every thread tonight?

I would be more impressed if they put an 8.3 Cummins in that truck than the "tuning by diesel experts at Banks". But it is interesting nonetheless, I would rather see more diversity of any kind in the truck market, especially mid-size.

you aren't the only one thinking that way.

I would wisely edit your post as it's a perfect candidate for trouble!

I don't know why anyone buying a medium duty truck would by a Ford or Dodge with poor engine accessabilty when all the others have flip front hood and fenders . The PACCAR engine in a Peterbilt Class 5 is made by Cummins

This is a wrong thread for this question. Ask it in the 3rd gen Engine and Drivetrain.
