If i was going to get a Dodge crew cab it would have to be the 2500 Power Wagon version:



Straight off the showroom floor it comes with...

Quote
345-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine
 Electronically locking front and rear differentials
 Electronically disconnecting front stabilizer bar
 12,000-pound Warn® winch
 33-inch BFGoodrich® All-Terrain T/A®KO tires
 Long-travel Bilstein® shock absorbers
 Most capable off-road pickup†
 Lowest axle ratio in its class (4.10)†


 8)

Then you bang one of these on the back:

And you can still tow your 110 on a trailer and have power left over.

And still walk away with loads of change from the money you didn't spend on the unimog!

2500's can have a dually setup, but the powerwagon doesn't.

I like the unimog, I have driven a few of the new U500's and they are enjoyable to drive apart from the fact they are LHD!!  Would love to take one off road

Having just returned from the States, i can confirm that those CXT things are huge, even in America, and that means something as the RAM's are just average over there!
gone from 200tdi.... to 300tdi... still with loads done to it, in fact, even more than the last truck...LOL!!!

I was at a show today (the 'Scammell Gathering' at Ackworth) & there was a bookstall there.
On it I counted 10 different books on Uni-Mogs, but they were all in German :cry:
Some fantastic pctures in them though......

I think the latest Mog is avalable as LHD AND RHD in the same vehicle!  When you want to steer from the other side of the cab the controls can be moved over on a sort of rail.  Its an option on some models, be careful though as looking for things on an unimog option list may take some time, it's not small!
