2006 Dodge RAM 1500 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

everything about it is great except the fuel mileage and the rather outdated interior. it can haul and pull anything you want and seats 6 with plenty of room would probably easily seat 7 if it had the seatbelts. the cargo space behind the back seat is awesome too.

great truck. haven't found anywhere it cant go. it has plenty of power to tow anything i need it too. has a good amount of space and genius storage on the inside. good looking trucks. and quick too. i would recommend one to anybody.

This P/u has been a family favorite and looks as good as it runs If the hauling of people and gear is your need then I think its a hit, If Dodge had given it a better High gear things would be cheaper

It is a good rig for most every thing that I do. From working out in the field to goofing off on the trails I use my truck for every thing. Dont have to add much to improve the way it looks, Chrome grill guard and nerf bars are all I added to its appearance.

I had this truck custom blue printed from the beginning. It is a HO 318 w/ 6spd. The 4 wheel disc brakes make braking an issue for the older Rams. I'm looking to rebuild this truck into a real off-road machine with a 426 fuel injected Hemi, I also have a set of Dana 60 and 70 axles and an 6" suspension lift. I would like to install a 3" body lift and paint the whole truck black with orange trim and a set of stacks.

I love big trucks! I never had to put this truck into 4WD when driving through snow and there was nothing in the bed to weigh it down. Tons of room for me and my friends, and my pets. The Hemi had more than enough power for me. I loved this truck!

horrible mpg, but a nice powered truck!

I love this style of dodge I've both drove and rode in all the other full size models and these dodges are still my favorite, in and out. I like that they sit up, and that they ride like trucks.

Love our truck. Love the space. Smooth ride. All wheel drive. Love the candy apple red color. All extras are great. Can sit my tall daughter's in the rear and they are very comfortable. Love the sound of my engine and muffler.

I loved my Ram because it had a lot of capabilities. I had the ability to haul a lot or tow, but I drove around in style when I was simply commuting and not taking advantage of its ability as a truck.

It's a classy style of pickup. Not overstated in any way, but never lacks in the looks department. This model has stood the test of time and should continue to do so. The ride is very smooth and quiet. Handles highway and city streets and country roads with ease.

This truck has plenty of power and plenty of room. I have towed pretty big boats with it and never had a problem. The 4x4 is a must have for snow and mud. I like the power sliding back glass. The 6 foot bed has plenty of room to put things in it.

Overall I love this truck. MPG isn't great but it's good for the size and it performs well. It can tow up to 12,500 on the trailer and about 5,000 in the bed. The bed cover is nice too for long trips, but it can be a pain to get it off and back on again.

With all the interior room this has, it has been a great family truck. The back seat area is every bit as big as the front. At more than 4 tons and four wheel drive, this beast doesn't lose traction often. At more than 20 feet long sometimes it's difficult to find a parking space.

This truck is great. I loved it from the start. Has a great navigation system, heated seats, and very roomy front. It pulls like it has nothing behind it. Many people say its too big. But if you are looking for a large vehicle. This is the one for you.

I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle since the day I made the purchase. I go through tires every 6 months. The truck always pulls to the right and shakes violently when traveling at 50 mph or more. No matter how many weights are put on the left the truck pulls to the right, I am up to 16 now. I can hear the wind thru the completely sealed windows when driving. Worst of all, I just went over 100.000 miles, my warranty expired and I started hearing a ticking in my engine. Turns out the #7 cylinder is scored badly and I need to have the engine rebuilt... $5800.00!! I was told by several of the mechanics who looked at the truck that this is a common problem with this year truck and engine. You would think a recall would be issued.

Liked the space, options, back seat folds completely down, sunroof! Dislikes were mainly fuel consumption and I got mine used so it had a few dings as well as some dog hair and there was some paint in the bed that wouldn't come off!

Overall it's a great truck. There's plenty of room in it, although the back seat might feel a little cramped for taller people. It handles great and I've never had a problem pulling anything with it. Getting close to 100,000 miles and couldn't be happier. Just make sure you stay on top of the oil changes, air filters, and kepping it clean; It goes a long way!

Oh man , this thing is no joke , it runs like a viper , but its a truck ! the performance is outstanding , never needed repairs , the appearance is awesome i love the viper red. it really is a great truck to have and for people to underestimate until you floor it off the red light (LOL).

I chunked a brick at it, and it didnt even dent. It is such a sterdy, well-built truck! On the road, it drives so well and it drives even better off of the road! The interior is so roomy and comfy, and the controls are easy to use. I highly reccommend it to anyone!

Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn edition. magna flo dual pipes. around 300 hp very nice. cost about 22k from dealer and hoping for 18k from private owner. A Blast to take out on weekends. Always turns heads. It gets about 20 mpg.

It has a 4,7 (287) not stock. it has 216 comp cams, sct tune, k&n 57 intake, 72mm bbk throttle body, gibson headres(ceramic coated) and full magnaflow exhaust. 341 rwhp and 422 rwtq. so its got some great power. slotted brembo brakes, hawk hp pads. and it stops the 4700lb truck with 275/65/20 pretty damn quick. love the way it looks. its fun to drive. no rattels nothing schakes. just a solid truck. just a little on the heavy side.

have been driving one for a year and 1/2 and have had no problems .Good ride and lots of power for pulling.

To sum it up I would highly recommend this truck to a friend, mainly because of the low maintenance. I would feel very comfortable and safe putting my wife and kids in this solid work horse and day of the week.

Very stylish appearance with 20" chrome wheels. Good build quality very solid. Great truck with plenty of power & room. Reasonable repair cost. Fun to drive with the sun roof open. 4 wheel drive will get you out of most situations. The gas will eat you alive.

If you want a truck with lots of storage space and seating for six then this is your truck. Having the 4-doors and room for six makes it easy to do the weekend camping trip or the earily morning trip for hunting season. Mine was bought used and came with the towing package W/7-pin trailer hookup and trailer break. The first week end I rented a 17 foot trailer packed up the family and headed over to the ocean. Supprisingly I got about 21 MPG heading over there...and thats with the 5.7 HEMI in it. Over all the styling on the interior is great very roomy and is great for a long trip with six in the cab. The Fold out mirriors were helpful as well with the trailer. The only problem i have found with this truck is it takes a while to engage the 4-HI and the 4-LO...and repairs are pricey.

Performance-0-60 in 4.9 seconds, Viper V10, Brembo brakes Build Quality-American cars aren't made well, but I'm American Appearance-Big bold looks Cost of Ownership-Bad gas mileage, minor maintenance Fun Factor-Too much fun, very very quick Overall this vehicle is kind of a hassle to drive, and may cost alot to own, but you get stares, you get power, you get to blow other cars doors off, and it's a Dodge

Good motor 4x4 good choice for terrain I live in

I love the looks, the fell when I drive it, my kids hate that there is no leg room in the back. When you lock it in, it will go. I have pulled chevs out of places with it. never a ford or another dodge.

I love the power and being able to beat most muscle cars out there. The single cab interior is roomy with stock bucket seats. If I didn't work at a dodge dealership, maintenance would be a little difficult to afford. As far as the handling goes... it handles like a truck, what can I say? As my daily driver it is certainly reliable.

Holds its value very well and strong truck if maintained

Over priced because of miles and age of the truck

Good towing, havent found anything that can tow it backwards yet. looks good when its all shined up. takes alot of fuel to do a simple task, but makes up for it with power and torque =) Has a aftermarket Rockford Fasgate sound system that daddy doesnt like as much as me or mom lol

I like every thing about it ride nice steer nice on dirt and asphalt had nice traction in mud and snow pulled trailers with big loads on and did not have any problems pulling it at all dodge is the best

i owned this truck for about 4 years already, i got 20 inch rims on it, tires are falcon 305-55r20's. it has a 4.7 liter magnum engine , i recentley installed cat back flowmaster exauhst to unleash that v8 sound. i love my truck it rides nice and looks sharp,

This was my first car, or truck, and I bought it new in the summer of 06 and i owned it for a little more than a year before I had to trade it in. But the HEMI had power to spare and I loved it.

very powerfull with the SRT10 engine, a car of its own kind

The Dodge Mega Cab is just that MEGA. Room for all. Love it! Power is good but could be better if the torque management system was eliminated. All controls are easy to access seats are very comfortable and even better with the 6 way power option. The optional stereo sys. really provides great sound. These truck do have front ball joint issues which I have had mine already replaced at 31K miles. Fuel mileage is low but you don't buy a truck like the mega cab and worry about fuel mileage. The 1500 is the same as the 2500 except for towing capacity and payload. Only a few hundred pounds difference. The bucket seat option along with the extra large cab provides plenty of storage for almost anything.

it gets me were i need to get on-road or off-road it does the job i have made some mods like an overlander kit and some maxxis mudders and ive installed a new stereo which kicks hard yep thats about it

Great truck, love the power rear window, rhino liner is great, has extra fog lights behind the grill to scare the crap out of any would be slow drivers.
