BTW my latest construction mags show the MD getting 4WD (or 6WD) this summer.

Yes the 4500 and 5500 now have 4x4 and crew cab. Now all they are lacking is a nice looking bed to match. Not the 3500 dually bed, but one made for them.


Now that GM makes a 3500 in single rear wheel, it is kinda like they have the 3500HD back. But now they have a much better engine/transmission combo!

I completely agree with you HD! I have seen too many of the 4500's with the 3500 bed, and it just looks wrong. They would be nicest with a towing specific bed that has compartments for junk, and some type of flatbed. I know there are units aftermarket that just look top notch.


Too bad they would be a bit big for a daily driver, but you sure would be one of the biggest!
