2006 Dodge Ram 1500 consumer reviews

I love my truck I got it used with 47,000 miles and runs perfect. I love the power and it also gets pretty good gas mileage considering it is the 5.7 Hemi.

I have an 06 Ram Night Runner Edition. The hemi is strong and powerful. Does not have good mileage of course with a huge engine, get 11mpg in city and 19mpg on highway. Smooth ride for a pickup. Love the looks on the Night Runner.

I bought the 4.7L Magnum engine and realized that I should have gotten the hemi. But with all said and done. The 4.7L definately has pulled its own weight. The truck is also a 4x4 so off roading is excellent. I haven't gotten stuck yet (knock on wood) and I have been is some pretty rough areas. Overall, I love my truck. The space that it supplies is topped by no other. If you are looking for room, then this is the truck. The power is a little low, but with a few modifications, there so be no problem.

Nice truck but could ride a little better .Great for towing the boat it like its not there over all not too bad !!!

The 6 speed is great. After a short break in the shifting is very smooth and OD takes the rpm down so freeway drivng is quiet, economical, etc.

I have driven this truck 75,00 miles without one single problem...great fuel economy in the diesel. The four wheel drive has been one of the most useful things on the truck, I have test driven every diesel in my buying process, and there is nothing like being behind the wheel of a cummins.

I bought a 4.7L V8 in September. I love the truck. It has power, looks, it's comfortable, and its safe. Gas mileage could be better, but its a freakin V8 truck! Its dependable and its rugged.

I purchased this truck because my family had outgrown the Ford Ranger supercab. My wife said whatever we purchased next had to seat everyone and this truck does. It has the largest bench and shoulder in it's class and the ride if great. My teenagers go to sleep on 20 miles or greater trips and they're enjoying the comfort. For fuel economy with the 3.7 L, V6, 6M transmission, I'm getting 24 MPG highway and it's not broken in yet (2 MPG better than the Ranger with a V6).

This is my second Ram with a V-10. First one was a cast iron workhorse. Still driving it with 287,000 miles and no problems. The latest addition is a 2006 Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab, obviously with a cast aluminum V-10 with 500 Horsepower, 525 foot pounds of Torque. Best in comfort as well as handling. This truck can be a little brutal if your not ready for it's handling and shear acceleration. Speeds of 140+ are very easily attainable and the truck is so stable at all speeds that it's amazes me everytime I drive it. It's pretty darn quick too! (It was purchased as a long overdue toy for me so it only gets out every couple of weeks or so). If you want power and handling, don't mind spending a little extra cash, (they are reduced but there are'nt many left on dealers lots), and you want the ability to tow and or haul, then by all means, get yourself an SRT-10. Regular or quad cab, I've driven them both and WILL be purchasing a regular cab very very soon!!! (Another toy for me). Overall, I would not trade this truck for much of anything.

Ride and handling ar surpassed all others I test drove! Emissions is a drawback. Milage (on mine) is at least as good as if not a tad better than that of all other trucks its size. My wife loves the Cool Vanilla color, (as apparently do many others, as we have met people from Florida to Mississippi that bought just for this reason) Florida dealers must have found a very good product as their pricing structure doesn't leave much in the bargaining department. Plus (locally, anyway) the push for Nitrogen in tires is big!
