I would go with this....

If the Topkick was not free I would get an F650 in a heartbeat.

Tried one two weeks ago and it drives great, get a Cat diesel.

I am a GMC fan so it pains me to say this but i do like the Ford 450 for it's extra punch. It's a serious truck that will most certainly handle all of you towing needs. Either way, you can't really go wrong with any Big 3 dually.....it just comes down to styling for me and for that I must say the Ford wins.

GM'S products tend to have the best ride and the D-Max is a great engine with a strong trans behind it. I have a friend who sells for a local Chevrolet dealer and he is hungry if leaning toward the General let me know I can set you up with him. As far as Ford, Havent heard to many great things out of the 6.4ltr. Dodges are great because of the Cummins. which is what I run but lacking in the fit and finish department. My 2 cents.

I don't know how much difference if any there will be between the 2009 and 2010 Dodges, but the Laramies can be optioned up like GM or Ford. The F650 is an awesome truck but you'd be better to buy used as they come new with an awesomely high price tag.

I would go with the 2009 or 2010 Dodge 4500 with the Laramie pkg and the Aisin automatic transmission. You can probly get a new one for $45,000 or less.

After owning "duallies" we bought a C4500 Top-Kick!

The turning radius alone is enough to sell it!!!

Drive one and see what I mean!!!

The F450 also has a great turning radius. I can park in most of the covered lots in chicago with no problem.

All the Topkicks I've seen have dents in the roof from people hitting their heads going over bumps.
