Post by: UKJeeper on May 12, 2007, 17:19:02: 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 HEMIÃ‚Â® V8 engine
Electronically locking front and rear differentials
Electronically disconnecting front stabilizer bar
12,000-pound WarnÃ‚Â® winch
33-inch BFGoodrichÃ‚Â® All-Terrain T/AÃ‚Â®KO tires
Long-travel BilsteinÃ‚Â® shock absorbers
Most capable off-road pickupÃ¢â‚¬Â
Lowest axle ratio in its class (4.10)Ã¢â‚¬Â

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!

Post by: UKJeeper on May 12, 2007, 19:10:55: 2500's can have a dually setup, but the powerwagon doesn't.

Post by: chris.hunt22 on May 12, 2007, 19:44:45: 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

Post by: Disco-Ron on May 12, 2007, 20:23:16: 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!

Post by: Bush Tucker Man on May 13, 2007, 20:50:49: 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!
