I owned the RXT.......... it was one of the worst riding truck and most inconvenient trucks that I ever owned.
My new Freightliner is 10 to 1 the truck that the RXT was.
I did have a custom bed made for the truck with lots of storage instead of the standard Sport Chassis bed.
I agree that Bill's 650 is off the charts as far as looks go!

Kodiak
It seems after they quite making the Kodiak, there have been some real nice used ones at good prices. Are they as rugged as the F650 and or are they equal to a F450? I sure do not want to start a Ford vs Chevy debate, but I really like the way the GMC/GM truck looks. Just wondering.

But as said before the FL is hard to beat!!

did you have as much room (storage space ) in the tool boxes on the FL as in the bed of the 650 ?? In the F-450 now we end up using the back seat as storage for suitcases,props,etc and just run 2 trucks .in them side by side 650 & Fl pics gotta say the F-650 ROCKS !!!!! my .02

I have had a couple sport chassis's and currently have a 650. toss the coin and it should stand on its side. part of the ride difference, look under the freightliner and there a stack of steel plates for counter weight, as of today my 650 doesnt have that and the air ride without the boat is rough.with the boat its compareable to the sport.I have had older sports 99 to 04s with cats current 650 is 04 with cat all have been 330 hp allisons towing and milage is real comperable I never checked but probably around 9-10 mpg and I dont drive slow pulling a cafe racer est 14k lbs fuel,trailer. I will say the 650 gets way more attention every time you stop. and both a more fun to drive around than a pick up. some web sites for info google, supertrucks in atlanta and horsetrailerworld both have trucks for sale
