Gonna put full sized passengers in the back seat? If so...mega cab. Passengers, adults anyway, don't fit in the back seat otherwise.
To a point i disagree...
Im 6'2 and 245lbs i fit comfortably in the back seat. But when im in the back its usually behind an adult that is 5'9".
4 large guys and your going to want the mega cab

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 just (in the last month) purchased a new truck--but in another brand. I had the same issue, which is full-sized cab or not. My last truck had the "1.5 cab" and I really hated it. I could not fit adults comfortably in the back seats. I went for the full sized cab (with four real doors) for exactly this reason. The net increase in truck length (1') is a bit of a problem because the turning radius has increased, but I can deal with that.
My opinion: A man (and, let's face it, pickup trucks are mostly purchased by males) cannot have a truck, take it hunting, and hope to put more than 2 adults in the vehicle unless he buys the full-sized cab option. Spend the money, and get the larger cab. That's what I just did.
And, by the way, don't worry about the mileage.

No way. My 6 year old can barely fit back there without kicking the seat back.
Unless the front seats are all the way forward....
Is there even such a thing as a new Ram mega cab with a gas motor? You can get a new Ram truck with full sized back doors/seats, or with the 1.5 cab or the mega cab. Which one is the OP looking for?

When I haul our grand kids, we use three car seats in back with no problem, except when they kick the drivers seat in time to Veggietales County songs :o
I do miss having an 8"bed, even though I rarely fill the 6" bed, I still feel cheated, :dunno:

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 :)Definatly not going super duty. I wanna make it some where wothout breaking down :chuckle:

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.

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.

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.

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.
