No LB Mega!!!! May have to buy a Ford:(
Sat in a new Ford 4 Door LB truck today and all I can say is "Wow, nice!!!" I have to admit, that cab is big and the long bed is just what I need. If Dodge won't build one, then I'll just have to buy some one elses. I may have to live with the inferior engine, but at least I'll have the long bed and big cab I need. Just wish I could make those idiots over at Dodge understand: 
A MEGA CAB LONG BED WILL SELL!!!!!!
What do we have to do
Beat it through thier thick skulls?

long bed MC is coming. i dont see the logic in betting an "inferior" engine just because the cab is 6" shorter people have gotten spoiled on the MC idea. everyone has be living just fine w/ the QC for 4 years

I think a MegaCab with an 8' bed would be TOOOO big. Wouldn't fit in the average garage. I had a Ford F350 Crew Cab and they are nice. I wouldn't gamble on a six-point-oh-no Ford engine tho.............. mine was a 7.3 and was a good rig.
Good luck!
Good luck!

You'd need 50 acres in west Texas to turn a MC LB around. If they do make that chassis, DC needs to incorporate 4 wheel steering. Come to think of it, I'd like to have 4 wheel steering on my QC SB!

You REALLY REALLY don't want a 6.0. I don't know how to warn you any more strongly-ford doesn't make anything light enough to push with that engine. Please act accordingly-you're not superman, so you're not capable of pushing that nice new f350 everywhere you want to go. It's that bad. Really.

I think the initial poster's point is valid, though. Ford is selling lots of F-350 Tow Boss long bed crew cab duallies to the 5th wheel pullers - walk through just about any RV park and take a look. Now, Dodge can either choose to compete (not just with the MegaCab long bed, but with competitive GVWR [13K] and GCWR [26K] ratings as well) or abdicate that market.
As much as I like my truck, Dodge had better hope the 6.4L twin turbo turns out to be junk when replacement time comes around if they don't have a competitive product offering.
