Special ordering a truck

[Agurdo17]

In short. I'm in the snow plow business and have two little kids. I get caught sometimes with my kids at home and need to go salt. Nowhere to send the kids. Need a dually to put the 2 yard Salter in but the mega cab short box is to long for plowing. Anyone know if ram would build me a crew cab short box dually?

doubt it seriously, have you seen a dually 1500?

Since u have 221 messages posted I am gonna assume this is a 1500 only thread? Not sure why I would want a 1500 dually.

Why not get a crew cab 6.4 instead of a mega cab? they are readily available. Im guessing you're talking 3500. Those can be had with a 6.4 or 8 foot bed. Are you looking for a 3500 crew cab 5.7 box. I dont believe such a beast exists.

I need a dually. Salter carrys 4k of material. Plowing snow with a crew cab long box is not fun.

This is technically a 1500 area, as the forum section is called "5th Generation (2019+) Ram 1500s", though you are welcome to ask.

However, you would probably get a more focused set of (non-1500) answers by posting this in the "2020+ Ram HD" forum section, though those are not officially revealed yet.

For 2018 and older models, the "4th Generation Rams" section is best.

Again, a 3500 Dually can be had with a crew cab and 6'4" box. I wouldn't call that a long box. A long box to me is an 8 footer.

In the first post, OP requested a short box, which I would not consider to be 6'4". I believe his follow up post infers that anything bigger than the short box is a long box to the poster.

I guess. To me anything shorter than a standard 8 foot box is a short box.

In the HD trucks, which we have to assume is being talked about, because there is no dually 1500, no megacab 1500, nor one equipped for a plow
The 6'4" Is the shortest box.
It is a short box.

Your assumption is correct, good luck finding your plow truck, sir.

Sorry for posting under the 1500. I will c if there is a crew with a 6ft4 box. Which I consider a short box. Really didn't think they offered that in a dually. Thanks for responses.

I've never noticed they didn't offer a crew cab dually with the 6'4" box. I assume it has to do with towing, duallys are typically used for very frequent towing and the longer the wheelbase the better it will tow. Probably the reason you can't get a dually ram that short.

You can get a 3500 Dually with a 6'4" box. I believe some thought he meant the 5'7" box which isn't available on a dually.

Yes but it seems as though you can’t get it with a crew cab, only a mega cab.

Real simple, mega cab 6’4” box is the only 3500 offered with dual rear wheels. No, FCA will not build a unicorn.

?
This is a crewcab dually with an 8ft bed?


And in tradesman trim



It looks like they sell:
A single cab 8ft bed dually
A crew cab 8ft bed dually
A mega cab 6'4" bed dually
