Dodge finally gets a real crew cab. Specs are supposedly bigger than Ford and Chevy crew cab. Has storage area behind the crew cab seats. No word on engine/tranny specs


You can see pictures here.

Interesting. Seems like one extreme to the other. Wonder if there is any demand for a mega cab?

Ray, I would have to think there is. One of the top dings against the Dodge truck is their Quad Cab simply doesn't compete with Ford or Chevy's Crew Cab offerings.

Yikes, that thing could get long with a mega cab/long box combo!

nah won't be big till they offer the megacab extended eight foot bed dualy version....

I like the truck......but man, those wheels just look plain stupid. Really makes the truck look goofy.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Throw%20Up.gif

Wow..Dodge bringing a full crew to the market...Talk about choice...I really think people will go nuts trying to decide what brand when they have to buy a truck again...The competition is really gonna get tight..

Thought Dodge's smaller crew cab design was so trucks could fit in the garage. On the bright side, a longer wheelbase has more stability when pulling longer travel trailers.

Hopefully if they add this model to the line-up they keep the quad cab in its current configuration. I really prefer the door post to a suicide setup that ford/gm uses. If I were buying an extended cab truck - its almost a definate it would be the current DC quad cab setup. Edited by: EMSi

I agree.

Where do I sign up. As long as theres a cummins I'm game.

I don't know, for me there really wasn't a choice. I knew I wanted a brand new 3/4-ton crew cab long bed pickup with a diesel. I haven't read any good reports on the PowerStroke 6.0, and I haven't seen enough stuff on the Duramax to convince me it's going to last as long as I want it to. So I decided the Cummins was the way to go. Then I looked at the prices, and the Dodge was the best value as far as I was concerned. Choice? Sure, technically I had a choice, but it was an easy one.

The way I look at it, you'll buy a new Cummins if you intend on working your truck hard and keeping it forever, you'll buy a Ford or a GMC/Chevy if you're more concerned with interior room and plan on dumping it, or if you have brand loyalty to deal with. When Dodge comes out with the uber-cab, that will eliminate one of the reasons to buy something else. I think that Dodge is going after the 3/4-ton and 1-ton markets in a big way and trying to crush Ford and GMC/Chevy. I have no problem with this, does anyone else? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

True Td...I just bought a GMC Crew because I needed that extra room. I was about to buy a slightly used Dodge Crew with a Cummins but it was just a little bigger than the Ext cab GMC I just got rid of. Just could not do it with three kids plus carseats. I wanted a diesel but some dealers think that sticker price is a good deal on a 2004 leftover. Made me laugh. I could not pass up the gasser as it cost me about three thousand dollars less than what I paid for my 2002 Ex Cab. That's what choices are all about.When Dodge does come out with this mega cab, I will be extremely ready....http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif
