Question 06 Wheelbase Lengths?

Who knows them, My Google-Fu seems to be weak today because I can't find anything on the model to model wheelbase's.

I'm asking because I found a 06 1500 Mega Cab that caught my eye today, but since i'm an avid off-roader (mostly dirt trails) i'm curious what the wheelbase of the Quad Cabs is in compairison to the Mega Cab's (Short bed only)

and here's a pic of the beast I spotted just for the hell of it.



Extra Info: 06 1500 4x4, 73,660 miles, Asking price $18,988

Thanks!

160 inch wheelbase for the megacab which is the same for the quadcab long bed. a regular quad cab is 140 in
if you want to go offroad, i wouldnt do it in a megacab because youre gonna get stuck easily. get yourself a nice quadcab for way less $. a reg cab swb 4x4 would be the best truck to go offroading in. of course if youre serious about offroading, jeep wrangler cannot be beat.
that megacab does look nice though with the wheels

well...the MC is basically a QC long bed....so it nothing else, you could find the wheelbase for a QC long bed and be pretty close to what you want....MC wheelbase is 160.5"

Thanks.

Found a Local 03 Quad Cab, for $13,995 that I'm waiting for an e-mail back from the stealership on if they still have it.

Same steelership also had a 08 listed for $18,995, but personally i'd rather go the cheaper & non-mds route...

Know all to well about Jeeps, they just aren't practical for me.

160" isn't much longer than my F250 is (short bed super cab @ 158") and I do ok off-road with that despite it's pathetic turning radius.

but i do prefer the quad cab, the mega cabs have to much of a "streched limo" look.
