I got the new Popular Mechanics magizine the other day and thumbing through and noticed they had a spy photo of what they think is a heavy duty crew cab ram.

 

How about a picture.

 

The picture in the magazine is not very good. The truck is covered to make it look like something else. the caption underneath says crew cab ram.

 

I remember quite a few years ago reading either Petersens' 4 Wheel & Off Road or Four Wheeler magazine that Dodge planned on introducing a true crew cab with the "new" heavy duty series Rams in 03; guess the they decided it wouldn't be profitable or something to that note. Basically, I'll believe it when I see it, a real crew cab would be cool though.

 

I was going to wait for a crew cab to come out but my car expired earlier than I thought it would so I bought a 2004.

Still would like the full crew cab but it does have some disadvantages:

1.) It would probably eat into the bed space, i.e., the F150 Super Crew which has a 5.5 foot bed.

2.) It will probably add a few grand to the price.

So I'm happy with my decision to buy an '04.

Maybe in ten years I'll buy a new one with a legit full crew cab.

 

Will they keep the current cab as an option, or offer a comparible extended cab? IMHO the QC is just right, not to big and not to small.

 

I agree with JamesP. I find the QC just about right. I don't carry more than the wife and I along with the dogs so the QC gives the dogs all the room they need and helps keep the length of the truck down. I do "occassionally" carry 1 or 2 other people but they are generally under 5' 6" so there is plenty of leg room for them.

 

Pics of the 2005 Power Wagon it's a QC. Profile doesn't appear to be any different 'cept the wheels and tires. Car mags also have pics of the SRT-8 4dr and it too is QC. I'm betting the true-crew is still a year away. My $.02

On edit, I mean SRT-10. Geezlouise SRT-10!

 

The SRT 8?? Are you talking about the viper powered SRT-10 Quad Cab?

 

Oops, my bad. SRT-10!
