RAM 4000 on RT17 in Phoenix????

[David_VT]

Came up behind a flatbed dually on RT17 in Phoenix. It was very clean and seemed to have our unique curved frontend which always catches my attention.

As I passed the truck, I noticed the fender badge said 4000 not 3500.

As I drove on, I looked in my rear view mirror and that truck seemed to be taller than a regular 3500. The cab looked the same as ours.

Anyone know of this truck? It is something new?

I did not catch the plate, so maybe this was a mexican rig??

David, They are south of the border trucks. I've seen a few on IH35 in the Austin Tx area and all of them have had mexican plates.

David your brain was just thawing out and you were not able to focus on the rig well. . all will be well when you return to the cold and resume the chill

I've seen one too, it had a flatbed and was 2wd dually but had a SOLID front axle.

Your not seeing things,,And since I'm in Phoenix every week and see these trucks on I-17 and I-10 I'll take my digital camera for a photo for the group,,They are mexican only and are in the 4500 and 5500 series,crew cabs also,,there is a gentleman in Lancaster,Pa with a 4500 series diesel crew cab,,He wnet down to purchase it and brought it back himself,,I have seen it at the local speed shop when he picked up a K&N for it,,Will try to track it down for the group,,All I remember about the truck is he said it was VERY pricey to buy and bring over and he would NEVER buy a Furd for his service so thats why he did what he did. .
