What does a Bobcat weigh? Saw a Nissan towing one!

I read somewhere that if you combine GMC light truck sales with Chevrolet light truck sales, they beat Ford in light truck sales.

That is not true.

Dodge STILL hasn't made a real crew cab, 2006 is the first year for it.

Tim, you come off as a bit abrasive in your post. I'm guess it comes from having a strong opinion. That's fine as we all do not have to agree on things but I would suggest you make sure all your information is accruate before posting some of your replies. As most Dodge enthusiast know, your above statement is 100% false. IMHO This type of misinformation really hurts the credibility of your other statements.

This also hurts the credibility of Turbo Diesel Register. Also, it bothers me to no end for anyone to make reference to Japanese people as "Japs". I spent a lot of time in Japan while in the military and I have nothing but respect for those people. Grizzly

Dodge to this day still doesn't have a crewcab that compares to Ford or Chevy. I find the Quad Cab to be just the right size for me, so I don't mind, however, I guarantee this has hurt their business in the past.



Further, I don't think disagreeing, "hurts the credibility" of the turbo diesel register. The entire idea of a forum is to have differing opinions and have discussion. Without discussion and debate it is pointless to even have a forum.



If my statements are, "100% false" do yourself a favor and prove me wrong with some kind of, "More credible" information. I'm still not aware of any Dodge pickup ever manufactured with a full size crew cab, comparable to the ones Ford and Dodge have been making for decades. Feel free to enlighten me if such an animal was manufactured. I'm all ears. Oo.

Helloooo? Anyone Hooomeeee?

Uhh, Dodge crew cab pickup comparable to one made by Ford and Dodge???



Confusion reins.



Anyway -- in addition to the aforementioned confusion, there's also incorrect information. Facts are facts. They're not to be debated.



From www.pickuptruck.com :



Does this qualify?

Shown is a 1980 Dodge D200 Crew Cab Sweptline pickup. It is powered by a 318 V8. (Photo Don Bunn).





And this?

This one-ton dually crew cab pickup's styling is typical of years 1981 through 1985. Power came from the 4-barrel 5. 9 liter V8 (Don Bunn)



Uuuh, Tim. It even gets worse for you my friend. I just read the following at the same site:



Dodge designers created a modern pickup with a luxurious cab interior. Dodge built two types of pickups -- Sweptline or Utilines -- in half-, 3/4-, and one-ton models in 2WD and 4WD configurations. A 3/4-ton crew cab featured a roomy 4-door cab. Dodge began building crew cabs in its own plants in 1963 which was an industry first.



So not only did they make crew cabs, but amazingly they were the first. How more incorrect could you be?

Dodge DID make a REAL crew-cab, ending in '84 or '85. Why it was dropped, is anyones guess.

On a site full of Dodge enthusiast one doesn't need to look far for "credibile information" on the subject.



In addition to what has already been posted here are a couple on eBay for you to take a look at.

Also if you head on over to the Cummins Conversions forum or the 1st Gen forum I'm sure you will come across a few members on there who have installed a Cummins engine in one of these earlier crew cab trucks.



Come to think about it if you read the TDR quartely magazine at all you would have come across a few articles talking about these early Dodge crew cabs.



Perhaps these were all conversions

 

[Tim]

Well, I stand corrected. I have never, ever, seen one of those trucks. It's pretty rare to see an old Dodge around Illinois anyway (all rotted away) but, like I said, I stand corrected.

My last Toyota was a '95 extended cab 4X4 with a 2. 7L 4cyl. 5 speed. The house I had at the time needed alot of yard work I rented a diesel Bobcat a number of times without any problem, they gave it to me a double axle trailer with no brakes. The truck was working hard to tow it but it did it. Toyota's and Nissan's are great truck, if I did not need the towing capacity for my boats and 5th wheel trailer I would be driving a double cab Tacoma TRD now.

There is a 1ton SRW long box, Dodge that has a crewcab near work. From the grille, it looks to be a late '70s model. The tin has some dents, but the rust is minimal. He uses making firewood. Has a new truck to pull his 5er. Don't recall what the newest one is. Had a Ford SD before.

Tim, Tim, Tim, I just don't know what we are going to do with you. Maybe someone close to you can take you over his knee and give you a good spanking boy.

His ignorance would be acceptable if he didn't spout it with such conviction.



As the originator of this thread, I was enlighted to the fact that a Bobcat does not weigh 10,000# ... ... ... who knew?

My brother-in-law and I had this discussion about crew cabs and club cab trucks. Dodge built the first crew cab in 1963, when did Ford built there first crew cab? I believe that Dodge built the first club cab and I think it was in 1972. When did Ford build there first club cab, which they called a super cab? I'm curious and I want to settle a friendly discussion with my brother-in-law, who drives an F-250 gasses. I can't convince him to get a Dodge CTD. Thanks, Grizzly

 

[JCleary]

Even if it's a TDI, this one's a little overloaded...

Hard to see are 8 bags of concrete in the back seat.

Depends on the model. A 980 weighs 14430 lbs, according to their spec sheet.

Those larger skidsteers look funny compare to a little 700 series. At a place of employment we had a 963 with tracks, counterweight, and attachment that was over 16,000 lbs. It looked like a tank compared to the 763 we had.



700 series are the most common and what you would see most often at a rental yard.

I have a friend who has the little 400 series Bobcat & my 700 series looks like a monster next to that little puppy, which weighs in at 2,513 lbs. Here is a pic of the 443...

At any rate, he was sitting back smokin a cigarette when I passed him. I was trying to set up a pull on the next hill with my 65 Massey in tow, but he was having nothing to do with that.

this is classic, just plain funny! :-laf
