I stumbled accross this too.



I forgot about the trex

 

Dunno- But rumor has it- Chevy will offer a version of the Suburban with a sliding rear door for access to the 2nd & 3rd row- unless GM has deemed the plan stillborn.

PS- WHy do you guys always run to where the profits go anytime there's mention of another brand of truck? Are there any vehicles sold in the USA today, that are assembled with 100% US parts and labor, in US plants?

I doubt it...

 

That's a wheelbase for your @$$, right there...

I saw an H2 HUmmer limo yesterday on 121 that was longer than that- no lie...

 

Back seat of that cab does look nice I do like it better.

 

I fell for Lee Iacocca's spiel on TV many years back when I bought a Dodge Caravan.
Says Lee "The pride is back. Made in America"
Hogwash. The engine came from Japan, the transaxle was from France, and the whole thing was assembled in Canada.
That mostly plastic POS Dodge forever turned me away from anything Chrysler spews out.

 

I think it looks horrible. If you take off that "extra section" behind the back door, it's the exact same ****ing thing as the '05 Crew Cab models. And "Mega cab"? How much more gay of a name can we come up with here. It looks like all the Dodge engineers did was add 6" of space (sheet metal) behind the existing cab, and call it the "Mega Cab." I for one, would never buy one. I like my Ford, at least its proportional.

 

Err, why??? Just buy an excursion if you want a huge back seat... so ugly, dayum, i'm amazed they have sold at all.

 

Actually, according to the article, this beast rides on a 160" wheel base, and is essentially a 2500; but will be called the 1500, 2500 & 3500 depending on engines. The cabe section is 20" longer than a Quad cab; and has more room than a crew cab Super Duty...

In this arena, Dodge has stepped up to match the F-150, because Ford esentially gave the F-150 the F-250's leaf-springs and other componentry- which is why certain models can yank almost 10,000 lbs behind them... (Remember when the F-150 & F-250 ~97 & 98~ used to look alike? Similiar principle- except it's now under the "tow-package".

That said- I'd still love to have a Crew-Cab, short bed, SuperDuty Lariat 4x2; 6.0L powerstroke, black with black leather, and I'll take it from there: (305/60/22's on 22" rims, 4/6 lowering kit, Limo tint, Speed grill insert, Westin step rails, dual exhaust with chrome tips, painted tonneau & spray-in rhino liner.)

 

 

thats funny that you posted that, i was actually digging around my pics trying to find that damned thing

 

 

If you want a roomy truck, here you go . . .

 

gee, I don't know... SuperCrew is a gay name and we still buy them.

And please note, current Quad cabs are smaller than Chev, Ford, Nissan and Toyota crews. The back seat is larger than an extended cab, smaller than a crew.

 

so what...F-150 engines are built in Windsor Ontario...

 

If I read it correctly, that grill and headlights are exclusive to the MegaCab Rams... I don't know if they did a full model line facelift.
