The bed is slightly shorter, but not by that much. The rear doors also
aren't full length, either. I'd get the actual numbers, but I'm feeling
lazy and the info is upstairs. :)

You did say 4 "full size doors" in your initial post. Either the bed is
shorter by that amount or the doors and bed are comprosmised in length. Why
run around gathering "information"??? Take a tape measure and start measuring.
See for yourself.

According to the neighborhood Dodge dealer, the current quad will be a goner
as a result.

> updated grill and headlights, interior...

Saw the photos - decided that I liked the current one better (the new one
looks too "Fordy" to me), so placed my order today.

It was "full size", the quotes were there for a purpose. ;) They're
bigger than the current rear doors, but are far from full size. Now that
I'm upstairs, here's the info:

The bed is 3 inches shorter, so the shortbox is 75 inches instead of 78,
the cabs have then been lengthened by 3.7 inches.

Kinda hard to take a tape measure and measure considering they're not in
dealers yet. ;) HTH.

Don't know about you but I can locate 3 inches on my tape measure.
Makes sense to me if you add "about" 3 inches to the cab by lengthening the
doors, "about" 3 inches has to come off somewhere else and still hope to
"package" the vehicle on the "full size quad cab" wheelbase and not to get
confused with the "Dakota quad cab"

You said in your previous post:

"Why run around gathering "information"??? Take a tape measure and start
measuring. See for yourself."

To which I responded that the new trucks aren't in dealers yet so I can't
go measure them very well. :P

Yes, and that's exactly what I said they're doing. Thanks for validating
what we already knew. =)

Dude, I am NOT reaching down your pants! Luck has nothing to do with it,
I don't swing that way.

My pinky finger is about 3 inches... =)

Ah, nobody suggested anything, you got there all by yourself. Identity
crisis perhaps? Or were you at that bar with Red? <BFG>

Actually, I was at the hospital yesterday, my wife gave birth to a cute
8lb 4oz, 20.5" long baby girl! Haley (no middle name yet) Whittall. They
should be coming home tomorrow morning, in the mean time I'm heading back
to the hospital. :)

Have a good one!
