IMO, one of the best looking trucks ever built (except a 1978-79 Ford, that is)!I was going to buy a Ford F-350 w/ a V10, but these new Dodges are real sharp. I'd like a 4x4, crew cab, long bed, dual rear wheel. Only drawback to the Dodge is that it's not available with a gas engine in 3500 series, diesel only. That probably means this is a $50,000 truck.![]()
I can't even read that.IMO, one of the best looking trucks ever built (except a 1978-79 Ford, that is)!
The one thing that Dodge has going for it over the other trucks is the new rear suspension. Slightly less payload, but it has the best ride for a truck in the world.

Who cares if it fits in a HD parking spot, I don't shop there anyway.How would that RXT ever fit in a Home Depot parking space? LOL
Nice rig... go for it!!!!!
You could hit a gas station assailant right in the noggin with your door on that rig.
Do you mean the green print? If you are talking about the rear suspension comment, Google it. Dodge went to a coil spring setup over the traditional leaf spring. I think that they only lost 500 lbs on the payload & gained a phenomenal ride for a truck.I can't even read that.
Umm, that's not correct, sorry.Well darn, no wonder Chevrolet went bankrupt. My 2008 Sieraa 2500 diesel with a better payload than the ford 350 srw though was 53K. 50 for that sounds like a deal!
actually my information came straight from the books. I was set for the F350 then went and looked at the gmc. Payload was more. as per the dealer books.Umm, that's not correct, sorry.
Here's the payload for the 08 2500,

4x2=3,892 lbs
4x4=3,646 lbs
Here's the payload for the 08 Super Duty's
http://www.fordf150.net/2008/2008-ford-f250-superduty-specifications.php
Depending on configuration the payload which is all higher than the 08 2500's would range from 4,130-4,350 lbs.
The 08 GMC 2500 3/4 ton would have a higher payload than a 08 Ford F250 but not a F350, sorry.
More than likely your GMC dealership gave you bad information on the Ford, happens all the time.
Dodge trucks and suv's for a long time had a bad reputation for there auto trannies. By 2003 they started running good trannies so most of those problems went away. My brother in law was a Dodge dealer for 10 years meaning in that time frame all my laws drove Dodge vehicles. The cars were ok for the most part but every one with a truck or suv had tranny problems. Even he had two Durango RT's with low miles that had tranny failures!I heard that also about Dodge. A lot of people like them, but i have heard horror stories. I even thought the Cummins was a good engine, but heard stories about that also.
The information you read on the F350 must have been from 2007 MY. The 2008 F350 has more payload than the GMC Sierra 2500 no matter how either one is rigged. Go through and read the links and you'll find out. The 08 2500 does have an impressive payload though, again much higher than a 08 F250 no matter how it's equiped.actually my information came straight from the books. I was set for the F350 then went and looked at the gmc. Payload was more. as per the dealer books.
