“When it comes to pickup trucks, size matters and Dodge delivers,” said Mike
Donoughe, Vice President – Body-on-frame Product Team. “The all-new 2006 Dodge
Ram Mega Cab features a cab of immense proportions, which is perfect for hauling
the entire family and heavy loads.”
Premium amenities offered in the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab include a
full-screen navigation radio, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, power-sliding
rear window, heated front bucket seats, power sun roof and adjustable pedals.
Bold and Powerful Dodge Ram Design
The all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab takes the bold and powerful Dodge Ram
appearance to a new, contemporary level.
“Bold, powerful and capable is the theme for all Dodge Ram pickup trucks and
that theme is clearly evident in the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab,” said Rick
Aneiros, Vice President – Truck Design. “The prominent chrome grille, supported
by strong contemporary headlamps and a massive front bumper, gives the Dodge Ram
Mega Cab a tough and intimidating appearance that is undoubtedly the face of
Dodge Ram.”
Offered in SLT and Laramie, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab is instantly
recognizable with its pronounced signature Ram crosshair grille and big-rig
styling. The chrome crosshair grille and strong surround collar sit above Mega
Cab’s substantial bumper. The Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s Laramie trim features a
chrome front fascia appliqué, creating a rugged yet premium appearance.
The all-new Dodge Ram Mega Cab features a dual-lamp system, yet is designed with
the premium appearance of quad headlamps. Lamps are precise and extend deep into
the fenders, giving the Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s front-end presence a distinctive
look from both front and side views.
The new interior design of the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab includes a wide center
console that reinforces its large, interior dimensions. The instrument panel
features precise gauges and large, intuitive buttons and knobs. In addition,
generous storage bins and compartments, flexible-sized cup holders, and premium
materials create a functional and upscale atmosphere within the all-new 2006
Dodge Ram Mega Cab.
Full-size Pickup Truck Capability and Power
Available in Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 models, all 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cabs are
built on the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty platform. Chassis, frame, axles, wheels and
signature Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Cummins Turbo Diesel and HEMI engines provide
maximum power and payload capability, consistent with all Dodge Ram Heavy Duty
trucks.
“The prerequisites for a full-size pickup truck are maximum power, maximum
torque and maximum towing capability, and the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab
delivers on all three,” said Donoughe. “The Dodge Ram Mega Cab consists of a
proven frame and chassis design packaged with engines truck enthusiasts clamor
for: Cummins and HEMI.”
With two class-dominating engines offered, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab
provides the ultimate in full-size pickup power. The 5.9-liter High-Output
Cummins Turbo Diesel, available on the 2500 and standard on the 3500 model, is
rated at 610 lb-ft of best-in-class torque and 325 horsepower. It is available
with a new six-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission.
The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, standard on the Dodge Ram Mega Cab 1500 and 2500 models,
leads the crew cab segment with 345 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, and is
standard with a five-speed automatic transmission.
Along with class-leading power, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab retains
Dodge Ram’s heavy-duty towing and payload capability with a maximum towing
capacity of 15,900 lbs., a payload of 2,970 lbs. and Gross Combined Weight

lbs., respectively.
