Default Ram 5500

What do you guys think of this? Have you seen one of these beasts before? I saw this one in town a few weeks ago and had to take some pics. This is what my uncle needs to trade in his POS lemon F**ed On Race Day F450 in on one of these bad boys...

I wish dodge made their 4500, 5500, have a distinctive larger cab like the chevy kodiaks and ford 650's with the larger semi wheels and everything. But if you were to need a huge truck like this, No company like ford, dodge , chevy could ever touch the frieghtliner sport chassis.

Freightliner makes the frames on Dodge chassis/cabs.

These trucks do come with bigger wheels and tires (19.5). They pull and drive great. But they will only run 76 MPH no matter how hard you mash the pedal..
