So I've spent the last three days driving trucks. I have 3 horses and a jeep... yeah, so that doesn't work. So I need something to drive the 8 miles to work a day and it has to pull a horse trailer and not be boring.

So, I drove a 2008 Chevy duramax...
Then I drove a 2006 Ford F-250 Power Stroke
Since the '06 was so boring I thought it may be broken so I drove an '07 F-250. Seriously, I know some people like'em but it just wasn't for me. Better imho than the Chev, but not what I was looking for.

This leads me to here. I dropped by Mike Olsen Dodge and test drove an '04 2500 5.9L with the auto trans. That truck was really nice. Did 70 just fine on the highway and when I needed to pass someone I had plenty of power. It wasn't a sports car, but I didn't find myself napping waiting for the turbo to kick in. Then today I drove an '09 3500 6.7L with a 6-spd. Holy crap that thing has some guts to it. Tomorrow I'll find out if the loan will be where I want it and then I'll be taking one of those two trucks home tomorrow.

Here's the question I have. What's the lug pattern for the dually. I know the 2500 is an 8 x 6.5 (at least I'm pretty sure that's what it is) but I don't know about the dually. Also, where's a good place to order an after market set of wheels for it? I checked discounttire.com and tirerack.com and they gave me a "we don't carry that" message.

Thanks guys/gals I look forward to being a real Mopar man.

Thanks! I got the 09 dually and I love it. I've never had a rig that was so nice. It has Bluetooth in the rearview and radio controls on the steering wheel.
