New 3500 Dually Thoughts?

[Alamo707]

Looking at my first ever Dodge work truck. I have previously had a 2013 F450 diesel flatbed and it’s time for a upgrade. Looking to pull the trigger on this 2020 3500. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

It’s a “RAM”

Nice ride!

Ask if it has the upgraded CP4.2 High Pressure Fuel Pump.....

I will definitely check on that. I Appreciate it. Is there anyway to know by looking at the sticker if it has been upgraded?

What will the intended use of the truck be? I only ask as you’re going from an F450 to a 3500....

Nice TRuck! I echo GSB's question... series 4 truck has 16.5K Lbs GVWR and series 3 has 14K Lbs GVWR. If you're matching capability, you need a 4500.

Cheers, Ron

Unless it was a F450 pickup, which has a 14K GVWR too.

Hauling fertilizer, chemical and seed. Never really intended for 450 the right deal just came along and it was a nice truck. 450 What is actually more than I needed

I correlated F450 "flatbed" as Cab and Chassis, although I guess an an F450 p/u can be had with a flatbed.

I hauled several Merritt cattle trailers from Henderson, CO to Woody Folsom down in Baxley. Those guys seem to be fairly good folks.

Baxley is close to where I grew up. I love Woody’s commercials. “We’ve got deals sweater than Nanna’s puddin’. Come talk to me!”

Actually, not a very good snow tire.....What makes a good mud tire, makes a bad snow tire, and vice-versa.

Probably so, just had great performance with mud tires on my Toyota 4x4 when stationed in Iceland. really deep snow too.
