Anyone got a new one with the bigger motor??????? If so what do you think of the pulling power, inside cab , ect ?? I'm looking at the new f-450 and the dodge but don't have much to go on about the dodge . The ford looks to be doing really good . Any input would be great ! Thanks for any help !!!

Stay away from the f-450 lots of problems. There r some threads on here of u look. Cummins is the way to go for pulling an great deals on Dodge now if I'm not mistaken.

Dodge all the way The only heavy duty that does not require urea tank. Ford makes a great product but for heavy towing nothing beats a Cummins We are at 5,000 feet plus and can feel the difference in the mountains plus an exhaust brake is standard I am a Doge dealer let me know if I can help.

Are the " new" H.D. With I herd 390 hp out ? Or is that going to be 2012 ?? Also what is the H.P . ??? And toq.# ? Thanks for any help . I'm looking to pull a big cat , and I like the mega cab . Don't need big bed, also is the interior as comfortable as the ford ??????

You mean your looking to pull a soon to be completed,
Skater 388 SLW, ???? lol....

I have to get it to D.S. ,somehow to take u tubing !!!! LOL !!

the 450 is the only way to go, very strong. stay away from the dodge, big problems with the tranny

I just picked one up on Friday. The High Ouput refers to the torque rating which is now 800 ft-lbs at 1500 rpm. I also don't really need a large bed so I went with the Mega Cab. The Laramie interior is very comfortable and there is a ton of room. My kids are over 6'4" and have plenty of room in the back seat. I tow a 353 FastTech and I can't even feel it. Also, the motor is much quieter than the previous models.

I think some guys are mistaken about the dodge. Nice truck but they are not the leader of the pack. Go with F450 or a chevy. I would never buy a dodge, only thing good in it is the engine. How much weight are you pulling. If your only at like ten grand a F450 is a waste of money.

In my Opinion the best truck would be a Cummins engine, Chevy body and tranny and a ford frame.

in order to get the newer ho engine make sure the build date is after 6-11..2012 have the newer engine..after seing all the problems with the fords in the last 7 years i wouldnt think about buying a dodge..the brakes are bigger and better the emmision less uera tank is a big plus,,just saw my neighbor with his, he use to be a ford guy then after talking to him into the dodge he said im never looking back..he just turned 400k on his and the truck is loaded to 15k every day of the week..

funny story,,i have a friend that is a ford diesel tech,he drives a 06 dodge mega cab with the cummins..
