The 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 got some new exterior styling and added the Mega Cab, which adds 20 inches to an already roomy pickup. New optional features include power sunroof and DVD system. This respected domestic pickup has 22 trims and sports a 5.7 L, 345 hp V8 powertrain.
All trims have either a 2 door, 3 seat or 4 door, 6 seat configuration. The Ram Pickup 2500 represents a definite upgrade over the Ram 1500 in the towing department, with max towing capacity generally ranging from 12000 to 14000 lbs. depending on the trim. The Mega Cab gives you 142.2 cubic feet of passenger space.
Overall, the 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 gets props for its roomy interior, responsive steering, and good power in its V8. On the other hand, the rear seat could use a little extra room. Despite its shortcomings, the '06 Ram 2500 maintains its solid reputation as a passenger vehicle that also does the dirty work.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Dodge RAM 2500 have a positive outlook on this truck, praising its powerful Cummins engine and reliability. Many appreciate its towing capabilities and spacious interior.

Perfect for traveling and commuting. Looks perfect for an outdoorsy person
April 28, 2026This dodge was a little rougher than the photos show. It has hail damage and scratches that aren’t shown in pictures. I also noticed a whinny noise which i couldn't pinpoint if it was from the engine or transmission.
February 11, 2025This was the last year Mercedes was involved in the big Ram truck development. 2006-2007.5 trucks have much better materials on their interiors,great manual transmissions, paint also better HP and torque we’re up as well as towing capacity. Cummings 24 valve 5.9 diesel is awesome and is exempt from any of the later years smog controls and Def.

April 23, 2025Excellent vehicle and price, clean, ready to go, great truck
June 11, 2021this model with the 5.9 Cummins is built for towing and these motors last 500k plus miles regularly.
October 16, 2022great power, great fuel milage, able to tow heavy, light or in between with ease. Easy to work on, simple set up and parts are not typically expensive. Overall very handy truck with superior power and solid performance. I would buy another.
April 25, 2015Excellent truck!! I would recommend this truck to anyone!! Excellent value!!
July 17, 2021Absolutely the best truck I've ever owned. My next truck will be a Dodge Ram. I love the way it handles and even the sound when she starts up in the morning. The power is amazing more than enough to tow, haul, or just have a great time in this truck.
February 25, 2013The truck performs very well. I have not had to have the truck in the shop for anuthing other than regular maintenance. I really think that Dodge has the best looking truck on the road, but hands down you can't beat the cummins diesel motor for performance. Overall the truck is comfrtable to drive.
