dont get the reg cab, if u trade your malibu for the ram, you are left with 2 vehicles. the caravan and the ram. with the power of the v8 and great feeling of driving a truck, you will want to use your truck a lot more then the caravan even with bad gas mileage and all. get a quad cab, you'll have room for friends and family. 4.7 fine, but the hemi would be better considering all the technology they through into it, making it just as fuel efficient as the 4.7..

but hey, 30 miles a day in a 2010 reg cab hemi ram...
you'll be smokin the tires every time

The 3rd gen quad cab lacks a rear center head restraint, lessened leg support in the rear center, front center position has neither a head restraint nor a shoulder belt. Also, overall the rear seating in the quad cab is very upright, and of course is short on leg room. The 3rd gen MC has excellent accomodations in the rear, however until the '09 model year the front center position was rendered useless due to the floor console cup-holder thing where your feet would go. Also, as is the case with the QC, no head restraint or shoulder belt in the front center.

Fast forward to the 4th gen, and we still lack a friggin head restraint and shoulder belt in the front center!! C'mon Dodge, how difficult is that? Or do you just not care about the safety of your customers? We are a family of 5, and always have an extra kid along. Also, I still don't understand the shallower seat base in the rear center position in the new crew. Is it just to accomodate the lame cup holder?

I've put off buying a new truck largely due to these shortcomings. However, I will probably commit to a new CC in 2010.
