Just saw an '06 Mega Cab LWB Dually!!!!

[JL penner]

Made you look!!!! :-laf :-laf



But seriously, has anybody heard anything new on this? Is DC going to provide a Mega Cab with a longbed dually option? I'll be ready for a new truck in mid '07..... should be enough time for them to work the kinks out of the new 6spd auto.

from what I hear it will only be offered in the 6 foot bed. it is already useing the LWB to get the extra room in the cab, having the 8 foot bed would make it nearly impossable to turn around sharp corners

Then how do the triaxle Pete tractors pulling a dump trailer do it? All you need to do is make a wide turn. Com'on, how hard could it be?

 

[TKingsbury]

Maybe you and I wouldn't have a problem turning, but have you noticed how many QC short bed 1/2 tons have big dents on the right side just in front of the rear wheel? :-laf Not to mention all of the duallies running around with smashed right rear fenders.

Found this while searching the web... ..... I would buy a shortbed dually if I had to. I could live without the extra 1. 5 feet of bed. Man, that would look sharp rolling down the road.

 

[JTryles]

Well... I did see something intresting the other day... not a Mega Cab but what appeared to be a full size SUV! Is the Ramcharger coming back?

What do you guys think of the new front end on those trucks? I personally hate them. They made them look like the hideous Dakota's

#ad


Also I dont like how they have the badge just in front of the door, it looks really out of place there, like when they did the front end they thought, oh I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER we need to put the badges somewhere and just slapped them on.

 

[Big P]

If that is what the new front ends are going to look like, then no more Dodges for me! I don't care what is inside that disgusting looking front end.

I don't like the looks of their latest change. Guess they thought that GM style headlights were a good idea. Gag. I'm still getting used to the looks of the way the 3rd gens already are.



At this time, unless D/C decides to make more than 2 frame lengths, a Mega-cab long-box will never happen.



Ford already makes a crew-cab, short-box dually. Looks stupid to me.

 

[JL penner]

Hmm I guess it's all matter of opinion... . I like the way the new trucks look, and I think the short bed dually ford looks pretty slick. I have a friend that had one.

I am confused. . How does 1. 5 feet of bed make such a difference for y'all? I will never be able to have a shortbox, just due to the fact that some of the trailers I pull are the full width at the nose, being as wide as the rear. If I were to have a shortbed, I would have crunched the back of the cab in so many times by now from having to get into some tight spots I have encountered.



Shortbeds are cute, and some look cool. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. After you put a toolbox in a shortbed, there is not much room left. I like being able to have my 'Coffin' Ice Chest between my toolbox and my gooseneck trailer, and still have room for 2 more behind the gooseneck ball as well.



If the Megacab is only offered in shortbed, it's a shame. It's just like a friend, who had a 1996 Chevy Z-71 LWB. They told him when he ordered it, to get the 3rd door, he had to have a short box. Oh well, he went with the Long bed, and it looks really sharp!



I guess to each their own, but for me, its got to be a long bed!

[JL penner]

Don't get me wrong, I would much rather have a long-bed for the exact reasons you need on CH, I'm really hoping that Dodge does eventually come out with a third chassis just for this purpose, but I'm not gonna hold my breath over it. I'm not going to be in the market for a new truck until middle of 2007 anyway, maybe by then I'll be able to afford an F-650 with a cummins! ... . I would much rather have the Dodge though, But is seems like we don't have a whole lot to choose from.
