1/2 ton 4x4 Megacab with SFA?

[Swamp Donkey]

I am sure my eyes were not lying to me when I saw 2 different MC 1/2 tons with a SFA. Maybe some rebadged a 3/4 ton???? Trolled through our local dealership and did not see any MC 1/2 tons. Looked like 8 bolt rims on the 1/2 ton MC... ... . Anyone else?

When the MC was made available in a 1/2 ton they used 3/4 axles.

I haven't seen one but remember reading about them here, of course they are Hemi powered trucks.

So my eyes were not failing me!!!!

I haven't seen a 4x4 but I have seen a 1500 Mega and noticed it had 8 lug axles.

I have also seen 1500 QC long beds with SFAs. theres a few of them here local.

Brain dead right now. What's an SFA? Do I really want to know?

Solid front axle

I was confused too. I understood SFA to be semi-floating axle, which would be the norm on the rear of a 1500, ... full-floating axles being the normal (and only) configuration on the 2500/3500 trucks.

So let me get this straight... you can get a 1/2 ton with a straight axle but it has to be a mega cab?



It sucks that nobody's making straight-axle 1/2 ton truck anymore #@$%!

The 1500 Mega cab is a 2500 with 1500 engine/trans.

Brakes, axles, are the same as the 2500.

All Mega cabs are h/duty despite the 1500 designation on some.

Call me crazy, but what is the reasoning behind it? Just call em 2500's with the hemi. Wonder what the differnce between 1/2 ton and 3/4 tons MC towing and gvw would be.
