Crew cab, quad cab, tomato potato
Did you put in one of those square aux tanks or a old semi tank? I just saw a couple guys with the semi tanks and never thought of doing that. What's the weight difference after putting in the tank and filling it up? -
Square tank, haven't checked the weight yet to be honest. Based off of others weights, I think it will be around 10,200 ish. I will weigh it next time I fill 'er up.
-
I guess Ford calls it a quad cab and Dodge calls it a Crew Cab. So in Dodge speak, I have a crew cab. What ever the thing is, it is not a mega cab and has an 8ft bed.
-
Don't know if you can get a mega cab dually configuration I was working for dodge when they came out with mega cab and don't think I ever saw one
-
You can get one, but only with a 6ft bed.
-
There is or was a company in Colorado at one time that stretched megacab chasis and put a longbed on. $10k upgrade.
GearWarrant Thanks this. -
It's really pretty easy to stretch a mega cab and put a long bed on it but wouldn't you just rather put a sleeper on it instead of the bed?
-
The added cost,weight,length is not worth it.
-
Pretty happy with the setup at this point. There was a fellow here that had an actual sleeper when I was in oriention. I will stick with my setup for now, really didn't like what he had.
Airride install complete. $275 off of amazon, $20 for next day delivery, and about 2.5 hrs of work to install it myself.RVTransporter Thanks this.
