Is it just me or is the back of a 2012 quad cab smaller than the back seat of a 2005 quad cab?? I just traded in my 2005 quad on a 2012 quad. Huge difference to me!!

I've got an 05 and a buddy of mine has the 2010, his is a lot bigger. More leg room in his.... He's 6'3 so he has the seat all the way back.

I do believe it is smaller. Since they finally offer a real crew cab.

Yeah. There's two different ones. My girlfriends parents have the QC. And my stepdad has the CC. The little bit of difference outside makes a big difference inside.

I'm very excited that Dodge is finally offering a real Crew Cab truck!
I'm really tempted to trade up to one in a couple of years. (A place for my skis and dog)

When I bought we looked at the QC, CC and the Mega. Like Goldylocks the CC was JUST right LOL! It seems huge back there. And those back seats are actually comfortable too.

Dodge never offered a crew can before because there quad cab was a medium of qc andcc, they didn't really see a market
Now the no longer offer a 1500 mega, only a reg cab(6'4" or 8" bed), quad cab(6'4" bed) and crew cab (5'7" bed)
My dad was looking at crew cabs but I convinced him he need the bed space more then cab space since I'm the youngest at 21. My brother who 26 and is 6'1", my twin sister and I will all fit comfortably although its a tight squeeze
There's a bunch of different cab/bed options for the hd trucks

I had a 06 quad cab. Back seats were good for my kids but not great for adults. Soon as i seen the CC in December at dealer i knew i had to get it. The inside is bigger then my Lincoln mkx. My kids love this truck, and so do i I didnt mind losing the space in the bed.

I usually am only carrying myself around so I went with the QC...However I have had a full truck with friends from work going to lunch. Much further of a trip than that may start to get a little uncomfortable.

put several 100 miles on with 5 people in my qc, it has a lot more space than a z71 extended cab, and the doors with handles are the way to go. the 2500 crew cabs are huge.

I think crew cab is perfect size and I think it looks best too. Quad is too small and Mega is too much on a 1500. I find that a 5.7 box is plenty as big loads I haul in or on a trailer anyway. Plus put tailgate down and it fits 8 footers fine. I will say I loved mega 3rd gens but not as big of fan on 4ths.
