Sold my Dodge

It is with great sadness that I had to sell my Dodge yesterday. I feel like I have given away my first-born son. We are full RVer and with my current trailer and the Dodge 1 ton, I was "comfortably" overweight (1500 lbs). This was a number that I could live with and not be afraid of any possible accidents. But with the "Sue Crazy" people and "Junk Yard Lawyers", I did not feel comfortable with a new trailer that overweighs my Dodge by maybe 6000 lbs. So I sold my Dodge and bought an MDT!
I just don't see why Dodge will not make a 4500/5500 like Ford and Chev. I would think there is enough market out there that they could particpate in. I loved the Dodge/Cummins relationship. The new release of Dodge's Chassis Cab is for a 3500 only with the rumors of a possible 4500/5500 being release, who knows when.
