Bump this one to the top. I got an 08 dodge 3500. What will work? In my opinion the putnam looks to be the best option, but I am not sure if it will fit. Boatman I sent you a Pm

The Hitch Should Be The Same For The Mega, Quad, And Reg Cab. I Will Check Tomorrow With My Parts Guy. I Have An 08 Mega Cab And Was Thinking About Upgrading Too But Have Not Looked Into It Yet.

I just spoke with Weaver distributing and they said that Putnam Hasn't updated to 08 on the XDR. The Guy did tell me he knows of couple customers that have used them on 07+'s, but there was some "Torching" Required to make them work.
They do have Cequent Titan model 45295 which is rated @ 18,000 (can only get a 15,000 draw bar for it though) here is a link from an online shop http://www.etrailer.com/pc-H~DT45295...eid=2008203632
This might be the route that I have to go. Says I have to remove the bumper for install. Yipppeee

I hear ya!!! Weaver gave me a price of $350, however my zip code gets free shipping from etrailer.com so I am better off to go with them. I am going to look underneath a buddies 2006 this afternoon and see what the hang up/torching would be with the xdr. I'll keep ya posted.
