Hello all, I remember seeing a picture of a dodge 4500/5500 that someone took with their camera phone at a gas station a month or two ago. I seem to be unable to locate that photo. Does anyone have a link to a photo of this new model?
Thanks all

The 4500/5500 model has been around for a few years now. I'm not fully familiar with it, but I believe it is a commercial vehicle just like the Ford F450 is.

I am not sure how the trucks listed on that link can be called 4500's. All of them (no I didnt check all) show up in carfax as 3500's. Dodge hasent made a 4500/5500 series truck that I am aware of, if so it was before the 1980's

this quoted from Allpar.com

Large trucks - Ram 4500 and 5500

Dodge is reportedly moving into the medium duty truck segment, re-activating a pre-takeover plan. No word on how this will come out since it probably wouldn't have a universal-style frame. “ccox� wrote (edited):

The truck will be a dual badge unit- Dodge and Sterling. It will use Dodge sheet metal and a Dodge cab. The frame is Sterling (Freightliner) engineered and built, and gross vehicle weight will be offered from 13,500 to 19,500 pounds. The Cummins "B" 6.7 liter engine will provide motorvation, while the NV5600 six-speed manual transmission and an automatic will put power to the wheels. Cabs will probably be standard and quad. Styling is definitely Ram-based. Eventually, a Mercedes diesel and the Chrysler automated manual transmission may be added. Sterling is also getting a rebadged Fuso, while Freightliner will drop the Sprinter (which will only be sold by Dodge) in 2007; and Freightliner is preparing a replacement for the Sprinter, the MT35, designed to fill the Sprinter’s role but engineered for American needs and whims.

 

I found the image that I was looking for. Thanks for the discussion

One of the guys I work with has a 5500 and its one BIG truck! It has like a 8 inch lift and is sitting on 38's I think. I'd have to ask him again but thats what I believe he's had done to it.
