Ram Long Hauler Concept is the Ultimate Mega Cab - MotorTrend Magazine
Ram's Mega Cab model is arguably one of the biggest beasts this side of a commercial truck, but for some enthusiasts, it still isn't enough. Since the Ram Mega Cab is only available with the shorter 6-foot, 4-inch cargo bed, owners looking for the cargo capacity of the longer 8-foot bed (only available in regular or crew cab form) can only resort to a custom long-bed conversion, which... The concept is based on a Ram 5500 Chassis commercial truck, which is class 5 rated and one step up from the 2500 and 3500 1-ton pickups. Equipment includes a fifth-wheel tailgate, 19. 5-inch Alcoa wheels and a Kelderman self-leveling air suspension at all four corners to help keep the truck nice and level. The 162 gallon-fuel capacity is achieved by two additional fuel tanks on top of to standard 52-gallon tank: a 60-gallon tank placed in between the cab and the bed and 50-gallon tank that sits in the bed. Rounding off the long hauler is the Laramie Longhorn trim available on most Rams, which means passengers are treated with such niceties as leather seating with heating and ventilation, automatic climate control and premium sound. Otherwise, it looks like the only option would be taking a leap of faith in handing over a 1-ton Mega Cab to a converter for a long-bed conversion. Source: wot.motortrend.com
