Default Dodge Mega Cab

Well Tony, you could have gotten one of these if you waited a little bit

Boy, that's damn near like a limo! I'm happy with my current cab space though. So far, everyone has fit behind me with me having to make no seat adjustments

I don't like it. The front looks 'softer' now, kinda like a Nissan. My cab is plenty big enough for what I need, I'm actually glad it is shorter. The dang bed is long enough as it is, making it hard to back up and see very well.

holy crap that thing is big! As if the Quad Cab wasn't comfortable enough already. My dad is surely going to want to trade in his Lone Star Edition for that thing when it comes out. The interior improvements are great, but the front end is too Durangoey

I like the new Ford short bed duallys....saw one the other day....looked nice with the crew cab. I'm happy with mine though, I can haul pretty much anything I want.

Since I plan on keeping it for several years to come, I didn't want to get something I would easily out grow.

Not a Dodge fan. I had a 2004 Durango for a week while my truck was getting worked on, and I was very happy to get back in my truck. Too many little things annoyed me. Two that stand out in my mind are the incessent, nonstop beeping when you take of your seatbelt (I don't need Dodge to telling me what to do) and the difficult to access and use tilt control on the steering wheel (that I have to use every time I get in and out because of my size). Yep, those are minor, but the little things add up. Oh, and not to mention that the power was definitely lacking for a V8.

Yep, mine is pretty hard to see when I'm backing up....the new Edge system for the DMax coming out has a wireless camera & GPS built into it so that will kill about 5-10 birds with one stone. EGT, Boost & other gauges, change the power settings on the Juice on the fly to add HP, GPS, camera....and who knows what else it will do
