I have a 06 5.9 liter mega cab. The amount of space is amazing.  Reclining car seats no issue.  Need to roll out a sleeping bag and camp in the back seat can do.   GREAT TRUCK.
:yeah:  My work truck is an 07 5.9L mega cab 2500 4x4 and sure love all that room, only down side is my Personal truck is a 02 Tundra access cab :bash:

Mega cab the whole way.. Have owned a 06 crew cab an now a 06 mega cab.. Wouldn't ever go back. The extra room is nice. The cab space is worth more than the extra bed space in my opinion. Oh an if you buy a super duty I'm sure there's a few nice cummins owners here will tow ya home :)

Dodge didn't have a crew cab in '06,they had a quad cab which is basically an extended cab with four actual doors. The new Rams have an actual crew cab which is comparable to GM and Fords Crew Cab.

What?  I have an 06 Quad cab, it is a true quad cab. Maybe I'm not understanding your post but 02 was the last year Dodge made the crew cab.  Which was a 4 door extended/crew cab.  They stopped making them when the body style changed

If I were t buy another truck, it would be the quad cab.  The longer bed would be nice to have, but you can always have that done later if you really need it.

They are in mid process of doing another one in the shop right now. 
That truck - the one that was used for the website - was a sweet truck!!!

That's sweet. Awesome welds, too.  The price for that is pretty reasonable, I'd do it if I had the big dodge

i have the 08 tundra, i beleive she came stock with 383 horse, somethn close to that anyways, it has the 5.7 v-8 she has tons of power an halls balls, and she still gets 17 to 18 miles to the gallon, which is damn fine for a v-8 with that kind of power maybe it was 283 stock horse, idk, not really a motor guy, but the truck is awesome, i do however wish i still had my 76 f250 4x4 factory high boy she was a beutiful truck, dark ford metalic blue, damn i miss her  :'( :'( :'(
Sorry but I don't consider that way better gas mileage as my 10' dodge crew 5.7 hemi at 390hp gets 15-17mpg on the highway.

I get 18 MPG with it leveled, and on 33-12.5's, 390HP, 401 Ft Torque and I have smoked my buddies hemi's and after 10 years and 200k it will be still running and worth something.

Looking at getting a new truck and debating on the mega cab or the crew cab?
look for an 06 gmc dura max crew cab long bed, I couldn't imagine spending 60,000 on a new truck!! Really 60,000 for a truck?? I would buy property for that kind of money before a truck.

Why not buy both?

Write a check for the truck and then go write a check for the property.

If you're haulin people, especially road trips, there is no equal to a Mega cab.
Reclining the back seats is key to kids going to sleep and staying asleep. Besides, the extra room behind the back seat is especially nice in Wa where it rains all the time!
If you want a long bed then crew is your only option. The CC has the same rear leg room as a Mega without the reclining seats.
07 Mega here and don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon.

Haha better gas mileage... I have a 2008 mega cab with the cummins. I got 22 mpg going to colorado and back loaded doing 75. Plus i can pull your house off its foundation.

I did spend 750 to do a DPF delete and a new exhaust, and programmer.

Ccortez i would say find an 06 or 07 mega cab if you can. Get the 5.9 so you don't have to do what i did.

I would go with a quad cab. I still think that the beds are too short on a quad cab anyways. Mega cab is for them city folks. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
