New 3500 series Dodge
Here's some pictures of the new Dodge, I think it is awesome looking and the Cummins has a little more power 305hp and 555ft/lbs . And the best news is they will be offering a new auto trans mid year that is supposed to handle the high output .

So they let the new motor out and not the new trans ?? Man I would be unhappy if I bought one then found out 2 months later they got a better trans !
All the companies should get on the wagon with the big trucks . They have a manual trans that shifts automaticaly . YOu just push the clutch in , shift into drive , let the clutch out and then it's all automatic from there !! It down shifts too .THen just use the clutch to stop ! Real nice set up and NO trans slip !

Dont fool yourself into thinking thats a crew cab, yes it looks like one, with the 4 doors, but it's the size of an extended cab, they just made the doors open like a crew cab. I looked at them and they are nothing like the ford and chevy crew cabs where ther is some room to sit back there. I think my friends extended cab ford has the same ammount of room as that truck, but nowhere near as much as my other friends crew cab ford. It's a nice try, but it didn't fool me....

I just checked out the Dodge Website...the new GCWR for the 3500 w/ HO Cummins is 23000lbs!!! Wow! Assuming the truck weighs about 6300lbs, that's about a 16700lb tow rating.
