I agree about the wide-track front axle. 4wd Fords have a terrible turning radius, regardless of the cab/bed length, but particularly bad with a crew cab and 8' bed.
Dodge did make the cab a little bigger when they went from the quad cab to the crew cab. Their crew cab isn't as big as the GM and Ford crew cabs though.
The mega cab is overkill. Dodge needs to make one crew cab, longer than their current one, but shorter than their mega cab, half way in between. Then they would be even with, or slightly bigger than the other 2 brands. And most importantly, they need to make it with an 8 foot bed. Using the wide track front axle from the 4500/5500 would be nice too.
Have you been in a 2010 or newer Ram HD crew cab? If the Ford is larger it certainly isn't by much. It would have certainly met my needs and the only reason I went with the Megacab was so it would fit in my garage. The crew cab long box was about 4" too long. :M
