Quad Cab

Anybody know if there will be a Quad Cab, SRW, Short Box?

My understanding is that the Quad cab will be 1500 series only. HD's are Regular, Crew and Mega. You will be able to get a Crew short box SRW.

hopefully a mega cab 4500-5500 too

Ok Steve, with all your great info, you now have us thinking about trading in our beloved 1996 3500 dually--I'm not sure I like you anymore as you could be costing me BIG BUCKS!!!:{

ST / no Sirius

looking at a 2010 st crew cab 4X4 to replace my 06 slt quad cab 4X4. the truck has no sirius radio and the dealer wants $700 to install it. Anyone know if you can hook up a regular sirius head unit and wire it directly to the stock radio without alot of wires showing or using an FM channell that does not come in?

I'm no expert on auto stereos but I"m sure you can't simply connect a Sirius head unit to the base radio. The actual Sirius module is a black box installed somewhere under the dash and connected to the head unit through various factory harnesses and computers.

Beginning with the '06 model Rams the electrical system uses the CANBUS electronics that transmits data signals back and forth over electrical wires. The entire electrical system of '06 and later trucks is interfaced and controlled by computers including the sound system.

The only way to have Sirius is with an aftermarket radio head unit or an aftermarket add-on converter unit that transmits via the fm antenna.

Personally, I would not buy an ST model truck. There are far too many conveniences and comfort features provided in SLT models that I am accustomed to and appreciate.
