Ok, Cerberus has bought most of Chrysler from Daimler, what is the one thing you'd like to see on the 2009 (4th gen?) Dodge Ram?

You should make it where you can pick multiple, I picked the none of the above but would like to see a diesel powerwagon probably and a real crewcab as options.

I'd also like to see interior quality/fitment and layout on par with what GM has to offer.

Keep the solid axle and 6 cylinder cummins.

I too wish I could have picked multiple options. I would like to see them do a regular crew cab/long bed like it should have been done to begin with. But it looks like the mega is selling really well, and there seems to be a market for one with a long bed. Oh and it'd be nice if I didn't have to duck to see "high" stuff like traffic lights when my visor is down......and the power windows could be a little faster.

Well to restate, I wish there was a real crew cab and i could get it in a short bed like Ford and GM. Mega is too mega big and I don't want to park that long frame.

Yep, I have always said they should have just built a normal crew cab to begin with. I can tell the difference between my CC Ford I had and my QC 03 that I have now when I stuff my tools and stuff in the back seat....those extra 6 or so inches make a difference.

when you get 4 adults in a quad cab it gets a little tight. I move my seat up some so there is room. I agree the cab could be bigger. the room in the mega is awesome but I dont like the looks of them. they dont look bad lifted but I prefer the looks of the quad cab trucks more. dodge could step up the sound quality on the radio. I dont want factory 12s or anything, but my infinity radio in my 05 rocked. this radio in my 06 sucks compared to it.

Mine is awful. I can turn it all the way up with the windows down and it's like it's barely on. Even with them up it isn't very loud. My Ford I had had great speakers, but didn't sound good until I added the subs. I might change out all my speakers one day for better/louder ones and add a sub or two....i'm good for now.....they don't make horsepower.

The Aisin tranny might be nice. And, of course, locking hubs and improved ball joints.

How about NO EMISSIONS. This way the 6.7L will be as moddable and as dependable as the 5.9L. I would then like to see a REAL tranny, 5-6 spds that shift like a real tranny should and I think it should be able to handle at least 500hp/1000ft lbs. Not a 6 spd slush box, used only to play catch up w/ the other big dogs.
