do you own a 3500 reg cab ram dually

I think a lot of responders are wrong in thinking there's no market for the reg cab. Commercial use is popular for the reg cab. I was hoping someone out there on the forum had a newer (post 2014) that could give me personal insight.

I think the reason why your not seeing anyone post is because you can't get a regular cab in any trim level above an SLT. Most commercial trucks are tradesman trim level. While popular for a commercial work truck it's not so popular for the RV community who mostly go for the high end trim packages or need the cab space for kids or gear.

Just looked up the regular cab long bed is 230" long and the crew short bed is 237" so not much really in length difference. I did go in and configure an SLT and you can get it pretty loaded up near Laramie trim short of the heated/cooled leather. So it could be pretty tricked out from the factory.

We got a Reg Cab SLT 2500 with the Lux, Snow Chief and a few other options. It's a nice truck. Very comfortable on long trips. A little noisy, perhaps the higher trim levels have more sound deadening material.

A couple of negatives are: the electric driver's seat back is too slow to tilt. The manual passenger seat tilt is faster and easier for stowing stuff behind it. And there's a surprising amount of space back there.

And the diesel tank on Reg cabs is only 28g, 3g less than the crew cabs. But maybe the 3500 DRW are different there, dunno. Anyway, with an 8' bed, there's lots of room for an aftermarket tank.

Not relevant to the OP, but to others looking at the 2500, the Reg Cab and SLT combo does give you good payload if you're worried about that, even with a diesel. My payload is a bit over 2500#.
