So what is the story on this truck? I am in the market for a enw truck, but if this one is coming out soon, I may have to get this one. Does anyone know an estimated price on a 6speed manual, cummins 4x4 mega cab?

Thanks
DIma

 

I don t think the mega cab is available with a cummins....either at all or until the next model year or something....

 

you can get them with a Cummins...

"With two class-dominating engines offered, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab provides the ultimate in full-size pickup power. The 5.9-liter High-Output Cummins Turbo Diesel, available on the 2500 and standard on the 3500 model, is rated at 610 lb.-ft. of best-in-class torque and 325 horsepower. It is available with a new six-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission. The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, standard on the Dodge Ram Mega Cab 1500 and 2500 models, leads the crew cab segment with 345 horsepower and 375 lb.-ft. of torque, and is available with a five-speed automatic transmission. "

 

Is it that you can t get a 3500 in a mega cab? Or a dually ? Cause its something like that.....I think.

The whole purpose of the mage cab is for a 3500 dually......but thay don t make it yet do they?

 

what the problem is, is that you cant get it in a long bed they only are short beds. They use the extra two feet of the frame for the cab and they arent using a new frame to do it. so untill they come up with a new frame for the truck you are stuck with the short bed mega cab.

 

you will only be able to get a shortbed but no duals. They are currently using the frames from the longbed QC's and putting on the shortbed giving them the extra cab room. I suspect that in the near future, they will build a new frame to accomodate a longbed in the 1500/2500/3500 and a dual wheeled option for the 3500

 

they're duallys with short boxes...no long box offered so far...i think they're supposed to be out 2006...not sure though maybe they're available 2005.5

 

There only offered in 2500 and 3500 series truckks. Hemi and diesel are available. Short bed only with no duals. Now if you want ot put your own dual kit on then thats your wishes

 

according to Dodge, you'll also be able to get a 1500.... per their website.

Mega Cab Specifications

 

That showed a NV5600 on the spec sheet?????????????????????????????

 

That's the standard transmission for the diesel models. The 48RE is optional.

 

I'm sure the spec sheet was created before the switch to the G56...

 

Ah yes. I see. I forgot the NV5600 was gone this year.

 

hum, Im a little confused because when they debut the truck chrysler said it was only in the heavy duty modles, oh well

 

That's ashame!
