In the quest to make pickup truck cabs more spacious, more comfortable and more practical, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab extends beyond the competition with the largest pickup cab ever. With class-leading interior room and comfort for six adult passengers and their gear, the Dodge Ram Mega Cab is in a class all its own.


The all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab further solidifies the Dodge Ram truck lineup’s long list of leadership claims: fastest, strongest, most powerful, most capable – and now, most spacious and versatile.


“Packaged with full-size Ram capability, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab offers the most interior passenger space, cargo capacity and functionality of any pickup truck on the market,” said Darryl Jackson, Vice President, Dodge Marketing, Chrysler Group. “Dodge Ram Mega Cab is the first and only pickup truck to comfortably seat six adults and provide enough interior storage space to bring along plenty of gear.


“Since the year 2000, demand for full-size crew cab pickup trucks has grown approximately 19 percent – and Dodge is responding with the spacious, capable and powerful 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab,” added Jackson.


The all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s 145.2 cubic feet of interior space features the industry’s most innovative seating and storage configurations, including the first reclining rear seats available in a pickup truck, tilting back from a 22 to 37 degree seatback angle for added comfort. The rear-passenger area of the Dodge Ram Mega Cab offers best-in-class leg room of 44.2 inches and the rear seats also split 60/40, fold down and move forward, providing numerous configurations for maximum interior cargo capacity and flexibility.


“Pickup truck buyers use their truck in a variety of different situations,” said Jackson. “They use it for their daily driver, family road trips, and various recreational activities. The all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab delivers ultimate versatility, offering the most functionally diverse cab ever created for pickup truck buyers who want more room, comfort and convenience.”

 

Now, that is a useful rear (its huge back there) but honestly, I look at all these huge pickups around here, and I swear, they have
1. NOTHING in the back
2. Towing nothing
3. No one else in the truck

I am tempted to follow a couple of these things around and see if people actually USE them. I can't see in front of it, around it, its ridiculous.

And bless Dodges Heart, they are are trying with the interior. But look at fake wood and aluminum and the real thing. Its like night and day,




So outside my venting, this will be very useful for those that need more space. And the interior is not bad at all. And the truck looks good and is very powerful. Kudos to Dodge.

 

How stupid is that? Cheesy guys acting like they're working out!

Hahahahaha!

 

Pointless!!! And Dodge calls it "Mega-Cab", It's nothing more than a crew-cab with roughly 1/2-3/4 of a regular extended cab added. I predict they will sell 3 units and those will be driven off cliffs!

 

could just be me, but i don't like alum and wood together.

 

That's the first thing I though too... what a horrible message, "buy this car and you can be tough too!" Just what we need, more people buying huge trucks because of ***** envy

 

I agree. But I've got a bigger problem with fake wood than I do fake aluminum. For one - plastic "metal" looks less trashy b/c, when you look at it you can either see fake metal or you can see silver plastic. When you look at fake wood - it's just disgusting and you can't interpret it any other way. Fake wood is the worst thing to ever happen to car interiors.

400DGRZ - the guys working out is beyond cheesy ... I laughed, but soon after felt vomit coming up. Marketing is so dumb in this segment (non-Dodge example: GM's "The RIGHT truck" campaign).

can we say VW radio? And of course stereotypical Mopar reliablity

But if DC can stuff the same Cummins ISB diesel into the Mega Cab from the Ram 2500HD, i think it would be a worthy truck.

 

Let me correct you, in all honestly it looks so gay

 

haha exactly, it looks gay as hell. Big ol sausage fest up there. Interior is a lot better than their previous trucks. But these tracks are getting rediculous, bigger and bigger, and people in turn use them as daily drivers for themselves.

Thats friggin GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Notice they threw in the token dyke on the far right. Someone should be fired for that display.

Thats f***in terrible.

 

Two words that don't come to mind regarding this post: eloquent and thoughtful.

Two words that do: concise and hilarious!

Look at that wheelbase! Anybody want to try parking that thing at the grocery store?

I had a neighbor who once bought a crew cab Chevy pickup with a full 8' box, after admiring my Suburban. It took him about four cuts to line it up with his townhouse garage, even then it was a little over two feet longer than his garage - he couldn't close the door. He wanted that "cowboy Cadillac" so badly, he never questioned how l-o-n-g it was. He sold the townhouse and bought a 5 acre "ranch" . . .

 

ROFL @ token dyke.

Man talk about bad marketing. Looking at that display it looks like only muscle-bound males ages 18-25 and middle aged males (and one dyke) construction workers can drive it.

So it's only good for driving to the gym (to check out the other males) and/or the construction site (to check out the dykes).

What about us yuppie accountant types?! I wanna waste gas and dent your car at the grocery store, too!

PFFFT.

 

Wow, that's huge. And I bet that's the short cab version


I thought my Tundra DC is too big...
