Talked to the dealer today and he said that 08' is the last year Dodge is making a Mega Cab....He also said that Dodge is going to a crew cab configuration like Ford and Chevy for 09'.... Anybody else heard of this????

Be holden on to mine........

 

that doesnt make any sense. they are selling like crazy! what is this new cab design they are talking about?

brett

 

Did he give an explanation as to why they wouldn't be selling them anymore? Most likely a bean counter related cost cutting measure.
I'll be holding on the mine as well.

 

I could see them shortening the cabs and making a longbed option...that's the only reason I could see......

 

Ten rules to follow:

Rule #1: Never beleive a salesman.

The other 9 don't matter.

 

yea rusty they selling like crazy time to step up to the manvan you know you really want one so dont miss out go get yours today

 

alot of people like to call those quad cabs with a long bed...something you wouldnt know anything about

brett

 

by the sounds of it, youlls days are numbered! it clearly shows the quad is king of this playground!

i agree- i would not believe a word a saleman told me- from my experience, 99% of them know less about the vehicles they are selling, than my wife!

 

Would not believe salesman for anything. However I did read-- I think it was "Trucking" mag-- that Dodge was going to new crew cab in '09 remake. I think it possible that just like they did away with "extended" cab and made the "crew cab" with a compromise in overall length in order to save money from having two models, unlike Ford that kept both an extended cab and a full size crew cab, that they just might be doing it again. But-- I know nothing.

 

Yea, I read that on fordownscummins.com. Just kidding, seems a little soon for a sales weasel to single source that kind of info.

 

Hahahaha!!!! I dont care who you are, that there is funny!!!

And that salesman is full of it, in my opinion. Ive yet to meet a salesman that actually knows what theyre talkin about. Look at Dodges track record, theyve always been different. Everybody cried for a crew cab from 94-02, then they got half a crew in 03...still complaining about it, its not like Fords..., so they one upped everybody. I dont see Dodge going with a cab like Fords, which I for one like. I like having a manufacturer that doesnt follow along with others and offer the same crap as the others. You want a Mega, only one has it (barring that Tundra MaxiCab or whatever it is) you want four forward opening doors, but not a whole crew cab. Only one has it (again, omitting the imports, they tend to blend stuff together)

 

hey!!!! I DOOO know all about it....
I drove a quadcab with my sons car seat in back..and after taking a contortion class I was able to get in that spot you call a drivers seat..altho it was a little uncomfortable chewing on the steering wheel. I was able to manage.
I think soulezoo nailed it... they are going to make your quadcab more manly like the megacab...no more tacoma sized cab for you rusty...

 

Salesman told me when I bought my 04 1500 that after that year they were stopping regular cab truck production, guess I'm driving a ghost truck then.
