That and $$ makes a big difference. I would love a CTD but unless you're looking for something that's gonna pull your house off its foundation the HEMI will do you just fine.

picking between the mega and the quad is tough. really depends on your uses. anyone over 6 foot is gonna be uncomfortable in the back of the quad on long trips. both will look good lifted, but i would go with the mega if youre going with a six inch lift. ive always liked the megas and longbeds lifted.
and yeah you wont get the under seat storage with the quad but you get the small hotel room in the back of your truck with the mega.

Many people don't realize, not only is there behind the seat storage, but there is also UNDER behind the seat storage. I didn't know this until I went to test drive mine. That alone fits all the stuff I had crammed under the back seat of my QC.

What are you talking about? tough to flatten the seats? Its the easiest on the market. Alls you have to do is pull the little black lever that has a seat on it, and your seat flattens down. there are actual bins behind the seat to store stuff. I love my Mega. Its an 08 hemi 1500. If you cant store it in a mega, then it probably shouldnt be in a truck period. get a uhaul.

And I do have a lot of stuff that doesn't belong in my truck, but it fits so why change.

^^^ Huh??

Anyway, Hammer, I know I made my mistake in getting caught up in the "Hemi" craze. I should have bought a CTD way back then. The mpg suck on a HEMI. There is more TQ in a CTD. They burn cleaner and can go higher in mileage as far as longestivty is concerned.

But I have what I have and I have made a better truck out of an already good one.

My buddy has a MC with a HEMI and even with 410s it is slower to speed up and slower to speed down with the brakes. Sure it is heavier and longer and I understand that. But Im betting if he had a CTD he would like it more. In fact I KNOW he would like it more.
