[QUOTE="NVR FNSH, post: 301977, member: 20411"] KDX220rm, I'm not sure but I don't think the 1/2 tons are a unibody either. I believe Dodge vans are a unibody but not the trucks. I'll have to take a peek under my buddies '97 1500 4wd. The 2500 Dodge has a GVWR of 8800 lbs. I think the F-250 may be a 9000lb GVWR. Neither of the 3/4 ton trucks has a GVWR anywhere near 13K. The 3500 Dodge (dually) is a 11,000lb GVWR, I believe. I had ~3500lbs of busted up concrete in the bed of my truck (11000lb gross - 7300lb tare) and had no problems. I also didn't realize I had that much weight in the bed. I tow a 36ft/14k gvwr 5th wheel - upwards of 2500lbs of pin wt - w/o any problems. There was a neat picture in one of the 4wd mags P/U Truck of the Year tests back in '95/96. It showed a Dodge 2500 (second gen) & a F-250 (pre SuperDuty) crossing the same ditch. The Dodge showed very little mis-match between the cab & bed - suspension doing the work & the Ford had a large mis-match between the cab & bed - frame flexing. The implication was that the Dodge frame was stronger between comparable trucks. Note that this was NOT a F450. I'd love to see some pics of failed Dodge or Ford frames. Brian [/QUOTE]
