The only problem I have is I can't stop spending money modifying the darn thing! Other than that its been flawless after 12k miles.

I have an 06 Mega Cab with 20k on it.
I LOVE the engine.
I like the ride.
I like the mileage.
I LOVE the interior space.
I absolutely HATE the transmission and driveline. The tranny never shifts the same and the driveline howls really bad between 70 - 75. When I accelerate really hard, the driveline feels like its about to explode.
If I had to do it over again, I would get a 6-speed, or take another look at a Ford. For the most part, you won't hear about many engine or fit and finish problems with Dodge.

I LOVE my MegaLimo. I LOVE the ride. I LOVE the roomy interior space. I LOVE the engine, running top notch. I am getting decent mileage since doing the white smoke flash. I LOVE the 6-speed, driveline is quiet, shifts are smooth. I am beginning to LOVE the electronic 4x4, nice to NOT have to get out and lock the hubs, just shift on the fly. I am not too happy with the crappy cupholders. I am not too happy with my dealers service and knowledge as of late. And like Pauly, the only problem is spending the bucks on all those 'goodies' to make them ours.

I'm a Dodge newbie, coming from 96 F350 crew cab long bed to an 07 Megacab and LOVE it !!!
Best of everything, trunk and SUV in one.
I never wanted a tool box before but it may sound silly, I now have all this interior room and I dont want to put anything in it (cables, straps, gloves etc)
Anyone seen a slender tool box for the bed, most of them are really wide taking up 1/3 of the bed almost.

Getting used to the 6 speed over a 5 speed is kinda fun, cant tell u how many times I forgot about 6th gear.
I just thought they looked tough, but it didnt look as high as my 98.5 or at least till I climbed my fat but up in it.
thanks

I have seen boxes that are designed to go along the side of the bed that form to the wheel well walls, not huge for space but bolt-in-able and lockable as normal toolboxes are. I do not recall which catalog my dad and I recieved but it had them in it.

I love my M E G A C A B ! ! ! ! The cupholders, come on, they hold cups and there is different sizes, the big one fits my coffee cup real nice. I came from a ferd and I haven't had any of these problems that every one else has had. I pull my 6k lb TT anywhere I want, as fast as I want (the faster the less fuel mileage). My dog Xena, the Warrior Princess really likes the back seat! I guess if I had to find one thing to (female dog) about woud be the grey cloth seats. It seems like they get stained a little too easy. I got a grease stain on the driver's seat and had to get upholstery cleaner to scrub it off.
I love it and I am never turning back...
