Ordered a Mega Cab today.

My family has outgrown the Quad Cab so after much debate I ordered an '06 3500 Laramie Mega Cab today. It's loaded to the gills minus the sunroof, roof marker lights, and the Uconnect phone option. My only wish was Dodge would have upped the GVW for '06 to match the Ford but they didn't, and GVW alone was not enough reason for me to buy a Ford.

I admit the Mega Cab is pricey (dealer said it's the most expensive truck they have ever ordered

) but when you consider that Ford does not offer a DVD player, navigation radio, exhaust brake, or a Cummins

the reasoning for the price difference becomes a little more obvious.

Oh well, now I just need to manage through the next 8 weeks with the '04.
