The 2006 Dodge Ram lineup will start showing up at dealerships in September of this year... so this September you will be able to buy a Mega Cab 1500, 2500, and 3500 model!

RE: When can we expect the MegaCab to hit showroom's?
pickuptruck.com's write-up suggests there won't be a duallie Mega Cab. Apparently Mega Cabs are only going to get the 6.5' box, duals are only available with a 8' box now, and Dodge didn't want to adapt the 6.5' box to duals. I would guess they decided an 8' box behind the Mega Cab was going to just be too darn long. Long boxes are nice for gooseneck and 5th-wheel work so I suppose folks with serious towing to do are just gonna have to settle for a dually QC 8' box rig.

As a moderator for pickuptruck.com, they are totally correct... the 3500 model Mega Cab w/ be a 6.5' box w/ the CUMMINS "610" option!

even though you can get the 3500 w/ single rear wheels shouldnt they offer it w/ duals? it doesnt seem that they would be adapting the bed at all- i thought it was just a matter of bolting on the big fenders. the frame is the same as the quad cab 8 ft bed so you know that part needs no adapting. when i heard they were gonna offer the 3500 w/o duals i was so happy, but i didnt relise they were just dropping the dualie short box in replaace of it- now that i realize that im kind of disappointed. was there a study that said short box dualies dont sell? because i seem to notice a lot of them but it may just be my area.
