It's nice when manufacturer's team up with the aftermarket to make niche, warranteed vehicles.

I don't really care for the "sleeper cab" look. Woulda been cooler to keep the real window and paint the B-pillars to match the windows and make it look like one giant window. Wonder if you can see out those painted windows somehow...

Plus, I think it would look better as a 2WD.

I guess it would be all right if I needed to travel very long distances. But if I could afford that truck, why couldn't I afford to stay in a motel room?

Needs a longer box.

Dodge dropped the ball by not offering a Long Box option for the Mega Cabs.

Check out this conversion:

Take that truck, add the "Interstate" mods to it and I'd consider it.

Kind of like the old "lil red truck" from the 80's, only stupider! (Is that a word?)

I'd buy one if I had a big enough camper to use it with.I would rather have the windows instead of the sleeper.
