1500 Mega Cab Spy Photos

blrmkrl83 · Aug 2, 2016

Came across this article. Maybe testing some things for the redesigned model. Maybe they're going to add a 1500 Mega Cab for the last year of this generation.
Ram 1500 mule caught sporting Mega Cab configuration - Autoblog

That's definitely interesting.....I guess it could have a small niche in the market, interested to see how it looks uncovered though! I wonder if getting the mega cab in a 1500 would limit you to the shorter bed similar to the heavy duties?

whats with the steering wheel lol

Wonder what motor they're going to use. The 5.7 would be a slug with the added weight. I have a 16 megacab with the 6.4 hemi. I'm not sure if you're taking about the 5'7" bed as the short bed. My megacab has the 6'4" bed. I think you can order it with the 8' bed

Ya I meant the 5'7" bed (short for a 1500) as the pictures were of a 1500. I was under the impression that in the 4th Gens you couldn't get a 2500 or 3500 Mega Cab with the 8 ft bed, you are limited to the 6'4" bed, someone can correct me if I am wrong, I just drive my 1500 and drool over the 3500 CTD's when I see them on the road :roflsquared:

I'm guessing thats a test mule for an upcoming full size SUV. To me it looks just like a 6.4 bed crew cab config in camo. The real interesting bit is the fact its rolling around on 6 lug hubs/axles. Probably needs to support extra weight of an SUV body and still have decent tow rating.

Mega cabs have never been offered from the factory with a 8ft bed. There are company's that will stretch them and add a 8ft bed.

The steering wheel is from a Jeep or a car. As another user said, I find the 6 lug wheels the most interesting.

Looks like they sprayed it with plastidip, guess that stuff really is as good as factory paint.

Doesn't look right. A mega cab looks best on the larger platforms (2500/3500)... this thing just looks way too long.

Probably from a rattle can, no less!!

And I actually like the theory that this is actually an SUV test mule...it seems crazy at first, but it makes sense to an extent

It could just be a crew cab. The cover for the rear door handles does seem a lot longer than needed. I can't believe I didn't notice the 6 lug wheels. I liked the wheels and even went back to some pictures to look at them again. :Stupid Me:

I hope so. Would be nice to have another option for a full size SUV besides Ford and GM. We've had both and currently have a Ford. I'd like to see another competitor in that segment to help reign in the outrageous prices of the new ones.

That would be great if its the GM 6 lug bolt pattern. They have endless amount of wheels to chose from!!!!! Would be awesome..

Is it just me or is that too long of a wheelbase to be a people mover? I really hope it is, in fact, a MC 1500. I'd buy it.

Probably the hellcat engine to power it.

I heard a rumor that Ram was possibly working on a fold flat rear seating, similar to the Stow-N-Go found in the caravans.
With that being a test mule, anything you can see now is either current production or just tests part that may not make production. Anything new for 2018 will still be covered up.

Looks too long in the cab for my liking
