The group of people posing on the stage behind the truck somehow looks a little too "Village People", but the truck looks nice.

Now if they just make a 5500.

I really like it. I think I'll get one as soon as they hit the used market. (I hate buying new)

Cool. All the way back to a real crew cab. I wonder when someone will think of something like "space for secure storage or occasional passengers, without the bulk and extra long wheelbase of a full six passenger cab"

Oh wait a minute, that's where this started. By Dodge. In 1973. With the ClubCab.

Oh Daimler-Chrysler, why hast thou forsaken me?

Wonder how long before DC offers an 8' bed and dually? It's taken them years to finally build a true crew cab and they drop the ball by not offering it in more than one configuration.

I think the idea was just to be the "biggest" As far as i know thye hold all the other records ( most payload, most torque, fastest production truck yada yada. And now to add to it biggest in class cab. I would be one to bet that you might not see a full configureation until the next model ram. Unless they redesign frames and drivetrain now

Million dollar question here, is that going to be the only cab style other than the regular cab? I hope not, They just introduced the SRT-10 quad cab. What are they going to do, build a mega cab SRT. Like Red Foreman would say, DC is a "Dumb A$$"

Only thing i dont like is the darn front end looks like the new dakota's. The headlights look like they came off a spaceship. Other than that its allright. Are all the new dodges gonna have that frontend? I hope they stick with the one they have, because i love them. Of course i thought they were ugle when they first came out too, but they look better than that. Oh well. I like regular cabs anyway, so i wont have to worry about it. I think ill just keep my truck for a LONG time.

Yup...The 03-05 front end was just starting to grow on me, then they went and screwed it up BIG TIME as far as I'm concerned...the 05 Chevy's with the Taller Hood look better than that IMHO, too bad they don't have a Cummins (or better yet, a CAT)

I would like one, too. How bad does this affect mileage? I read that it will be Cummins powered, but I too want a dually/longbed!! I don't really need training wheels anymore, but I have come to love driving this baig, bad, black truck of mine!! More access for my growing boys, etc. will be welcome, but my 2nd gen cab isn't bad right now. Maybe in the future.....

It has the same problem as the Ferd Superdutys in my opinion. The cab looks too bulky, the windows are too tall. They're making the bodies so big that the 31" tires they come with look PUNY! Put 35's on it and they look normal. To get the lifted look you have to slap on a set of 38's or 40's. It'd look better with a long bed I think, but still, I like my trucks to look like trucks, they're all getting car-ish. Or maybe minivan on steroids lol. Dodge though, I will say has the best looking one still.
