Bigger, badder, and bolder than ever

Introduction

Dodge Ram Mega Cab -- 2006 First Drive: Americans like everything to be big. To satisfy our desire for largeness, we shop at Mega-stores, eat Mega candies, and play the Mega Lotto. And now - for when we've had too many M&Ms and have won mega bucks - we have the Mega Cab on our roads, courtesy of Dodge. Nowhere in the world are full-sized pickup trucks held in such high regard as they are here in the U.S.

Appropriately, the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab offers the largest cabin available in a production pickup truck thanks to an additional 22 inches of cab length. This stretch creates 72.2 cubic feet of useable interior space behind the Mega Cab's front seats - more room than some sedans offer - and 7.7 cubic feet of this space is open behind the rear seat for storage. In addition, the 2006 Dodge Mega Cab offers admirable payload and towing limits. With a full lineup of Mega Cabs on the market, including a version with dual rear wheels, this rig is ready to rumble.

Whether you're ready for it is another story. The Dodge Ram Mega Cab is so big, in fact, that many buyers may not be ready - ready to deal with its thirst for fuel, its ungainly length, and its short truck bed. In the end, the biggest truck may well meet among the smallest needs: those who really do need this much room inside the cab of a truck.

Model Mix

The 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab is available as three different models based on payload capacity, starting with the Ram 1500 Mega Cab and moving up through the 2500 to the "Big Kahuna" 3500. Dodge provides a choice between two- and four-wheel drive on any Mega Cab, but the dually version is limited to 3500-series models. Mega Cabs are decked out in your choice of two trim levels; standard SLT or Laramie.

Every SLT comes with air conditioning, a CD player, and an overhead console with a trip computer and compass. Other standard features include cruise control, power windows, and power door locks with keyless entry. Optional equipment includes front bucket seats with available six-way power driver's adjustment, a power-sliding rear window, a power sunroof, a bedliner, trailer towing mirrors, power adjustable pedals, and a six-disc in-dash CD changer with Infinity speakers. SLT buyers can also add a UConnect hands-free wireless communication system with Bluetooth technology, Sirius satellite radio, a navigation system, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment setup.

In premium Laramie trim, the Dodge Ram Mega Cab adds leather upholstery, heated front buckets with six-way driver's adjustment, dual-zone climate control, 17-inch chrome aluminum wheels, and a Sentry Key engine immobilizer. Other standard goodies include a power-sliding rear window, a six-disc in-dash CD changer with Infinity speakers, Sirius satellite radio, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, a security alarm, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Optional equipment on the Dodge Ram Mega Cab Laramie includes a power sunroof, navigation system, UConnect hands-free wireless communication system with Bluetooth technology, supplemental side-curtain airbags, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system.
