[QUOTE="NVR FNSH, post: 301061, member: 20411"] kdx220 - Can you show me the uni-body part of my Dodge 2500? I guess I just missed it. Oldmaiconut - are you comparing apples to apples with the reefer bodies on the cab/chassis trucks? Ford has offered F-series pick-ups with higher ratings than Dodge for years. Look at the older gen F450 SD (beam front axle 2wd) & the newer 450/500 Super Duty models. You can get a new 550 with a GVWR of ~19k - Dodge does not offer a comparable truck in the US. I'm not sure if the 4500/5500 Dodge PUs in Mexico are comparable to the 450/550 chassis. Most of the tow trucks are built on the bigger Ford chassis/cab platforms. Most ambulance/tow truck up-fitters won't work with Dodge trucks because they are not rated for that severe of duty. I don't think I've read anything on TDR regarding frame failures and some of those guys grossly overload their trucks on a regular basis. Hotshotters grossing 36k on a daily basis - I guess the guys that make their livings with their trucks don't know a thing. For most day to day stuff that you would be using the truck for a 3/4 or 1 ton truck will suffice and there isn't that big a difference between the two. Brian [/QUOTE]
