Well, my half ton may go away then. I found a very clean Ram 3500 dually with the Cummins locally I should go check out.
Thanks for the help, everyone!
Wise move.:)
Not so fast. That 2007 Dodge Megacab has the same axels as a 3/4 ton or SWD 1 ton. The 2400 lb payload is a hint. Unless he is going to pull over 12, 000 lbs, the diesel dually is overkill. The Hemi has plenty of power. I pulled a 6950 lb 5er with a 1500lb load capacity with my 2006 Ram 1500 Hemi and it didn't have the 3/4 ton running gear .
EDIT. His truck is basically a 2500HD badged as a 1500, because it is a MegaCab.
