2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab

Critics and consumers have taken Dodge to task over the lack of rear seat space in the Ram Quad Cab pickup. When redesigning the Ram for 2003, Dodge saved development cost by limiting cab styles to a regular cab and a crew cab (Quad Cab) - an extended cab was off the list. But because Dodge wanted a conventional bed for the Quad Cab, rear seat space took a hit to allow for a larger cargo box on the back. Shortly thereafter, roomier models from every other manufacturer of full-size pickups debuted, leaving Dodge with a serious, uh, shortcoming.

With the introduction of the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab, interior space is no longer a problem.

To create the six-passenger Mega Cab, the roomiest pickup truck ever built according to Dodge, engineers started with the 2500-Series Quad Cab longbed. By replacing the eight-foot cargo box with one measuring six-feet, three-inches, the Quad Cab received a 20-inch stretch that results in more rear legroom than the Maybach ultra-luxury sedan. You know, the one with reclining leather seats and a full entertainment system in the back.
