Huh 8" is a LOT. The thing is, over here, anything above 2meters (roughly 80") becomes more and more bothersome. Of course there is a bit of wiggle room, but 91 is simply to much, because at that size, i can just get a commercial truck/Unimog. The only reason why those conversion might be a...

What is WMS? So the the front axle is wieder even before the extra wide 2005+ version was introduced? I mean it kinda makes sense with the space for 4 tires on the rear and all. But if we take the F-350 DRW for example, how much wider would a SRW conversion be compared to the standart SRW F-350?

Wow i love that plattform! Ok so with 91" beeing the minimum für that weigt class, what is the front and rear minimum width for a F 350/Ram 3500 which used to be DRW?

Ok but did they again seen any need to improve on the IFS/frame after 2011 or where those changes cosmetic? Yeah that very low hanging piece sure is a bother!

I mean beeing 0.6 is not that bad of course, but for me a more significant discrepancy would be weird. Thank you Boss, so 91 would be the minimum for a big RAM CC? I guess similiar for a Ford? And from the comments i guess it will logically be pretty much impossible to get the front an rear of...

Hello, so as far as i understood it, the Ford and Ram chassis cap trucks 450/550 or 4500/5500 have a wider track in the front (at least at some point in time, apparently not back in the day) to match the width of the dual rear wheel end. So if you convert such a truck to SRW, will the front...

Well at least in terms of fronat axle weight rating the difference isnt that bis tbh and at least from looking at the Humvee front axle and the one time i got a peek on a Silverado 2500 the AM didnt look that much stronger. Of course looks can be very deceiving here. Hm its kind of a pity, the...

In the end the majority will be On-Highway, but of course you dont buy a 4x4 for only that. But i wonder how all those military vehicles with IFS and IRS handle the issues you mentioned? All the wheeled tanks, the Humvees, JLTVs etc.?

Hello, so there seems to a chance to get ones hands on a (over here) pretty rare Silverado 3500 from 2012 with the awesome Duramax. Unfortunatly not excatly cheap as it is a rare truck here. What i would like to know: Other then Design, Horsepower ratings, entertainment gadgets and other more...

Thank you for this detailed answer! I always wonder why the ******** the same vehicle gets different hardware depending on the country. I can get different interior, i can get different engine options, but frames, axles, diffs, .... where is the real benefit here? Are those smaller diffs really...

Hello, so since after months and months looking for a Patrol Y61 with Automatik (very rare in Germany) and without too many miles on it, i am warming up to the idea of a Y62, since the US HD trucks like Ram/Ford 2500 will mos likely be too limitet bei their size and the Land Cruiser 200 ist...

Well adfter looking for this truck for a while, there are so extremly few XDs here, i doubt it willbe an option anyways :D

That is a good point! (Tires) On the upside: The wider front axle might make it easier to get a convertet DRW to SRW rear axle roughly the same width as the front right? Then again: Even a 3500 would also be considered pretty wide over here to begin with, a 4/5500 would cross into Unimog...

So i guess the frame is always the same between 2500/3500 and 4500/5500, only the 3500 Cassi cab is unique right? Probably the most flexible then. Anybody knows what changed with the boxed frame in 2029?

You mean between the 2 or compared to the 2/3500? The later i was expecting to be different.

Ok yeah that makes sense, but as far as i know Dodge only uses 50k steele in all their HD trucks regardless of open C channel or boxed frame sinde like Generation 3? I know Ford swapped their Chassi Cabs to 50k in 2017 as well. The wider track in itself is not that big of a problem, however i am...

Thanks for the answers! Yes of course the Cap Chaiis is a C-channel, but that is always the same right? Because with the Ford F-450/550, the 550 gets a double layer on its frame. Otherwise they appear to be also identical. Ok so the differences with the 2/3500 are bigger, but i guess this is...

Well if you check the recent specks, the 7Series features a payload of 1300kg so 2860, which is clearly above anything thats not a Super Duty or equally big. However there is of course a difference between payload on paper and actual toughness. Then again, we are speaking about the Land Cruiser...

Hello, so out of the very rare HD trucks in Germany, the Dodge Ram or Ram nowadays is clearly the most common. What i wonder is: In which way do the 2500 and 3500 really differ, if you you are going to choose the SRW for offroading anyway? Becaus as far as i know the only difference is the...

Thats weird, because the 7 series pickup has at least the same payload as most F-150/1500 trucks, while beeng smaller.
