I love the truck overall, not big on the white on the seats. There are companies, one actually based in Utah that I know of, that do a Mega Cab long bed conversion. It's not cheap, around 9k but they cut the frame and extend it, new drive line etc as well as the 8' bed.

[@johnnicpon5783]

The 2500 Limited MegaCab is best configured with the 6.4 Hemi and 4.10 rear end. You just lose too much payload with the diesel. The ram boxes are great when you tow a travel trailer. Hitch bars, levelers, XChocks, etc.. all fit in quite nicely. If you really want the diesel (most don't actually need it) then the 3500 is a better choice so that you get some payload. Also, the interior you showed is NOT white. It is Indigo/Frost. And the frost is actually a light beige. IMHO it looks sooooo much better than another black interior!

[@sad754yt]

Good pickup on the payload. I haul a truck camper and that really jumped out at me. The Limited with all those options just decreases it even more. The new Ford Maverick has a payload of 1500!

[@JS-zb1vv]

The mega cab isn’t a payload truck!! It’s to ride in style and get the Cummins to pull stuff!! Not hauling in the bed !!! Want to haul stuff get a single cab and chassis truck!! For payload!! Lol

I am actually looking for that EXACT SAME TRUCK (With a darker interior) WITH A 6.4L HEMI, Panoramic roof, and hopes of it being a few bucks less, hadn't seen one yet!

Its $90k because Larry H Miller dealerships are scummy and there are only (5) 2500s on the lot in Sandy, Utah. So LHM needs to only sell one $90k to make up for the lack of inventory of $55-60k trucks.

I have a 2014 RAM with a dial shift. It's my least favorite feature on the truck. (maybe second... the MDS eco 8 to 4 cylinder transfer while driving is THE worst). Personally, I wouldn't buy another truck with a dial shift. It's just lame, and its right next to the heater and radio knob. When you are in a hurry you don't always get it in park. Column shift, or console like the previous years worked just fine. Other than those two design/engineering flaws, it's been a really good truck.

The floor with the Ram box is the same as any other full size. You can put a full piece of plywood in there.
