Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500?
I like the smooth powerful Cummins engine, and 6 speed manual trans. Great towing truck.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500?
Better interior ventilation. One has to crack a window to allow the AC or heater to work at full efficiency.
Better available axle gearing. This truck is capable of 25 mpg+ if it had proper gearing, and still lots of power.
Better suspension that is not as upset over ruts.

2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 Review:
This Ram is the best overall truck I've owned. Looks good, Drives good and runs good.

I'd buy another one if it had better gearing.

I know many mentioned that it's not good, but it's 2 1/2 mpg better than my 1/2 ton Ford was...and twice the truck!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500?

2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 Review:
Much nicer than previous 3500. Great towing capability and much smoother and controlled ride quality. The interior is a great deal better and a nice place to take a long ride. A Cummins diesel is a Cummins diesel--a truly built from the bottom up REAL diesel. None finer!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500?
Satellite radio, bucket seats, great mirriors, double console, rear seats fold down flat or recline, coldest A/C period. You will need some sort of step if you get 4x4, see if dealer can get them since model is so new aftermarket guys don't have anything yet. Like I said, if you haven't ordered yet, go now

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500?
Get rid of the seatbelt dinger! Riding around a ranch, job site, truck yard, etc you don't need a seatbelt and for sure don't need that little bell making you crazy. We are all grown-ups and if one doesn't want to wear the belt, don't make him insane with a flashing light and dinging bell!!

2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 Review:
If you haven't ordered yours yet go do it now! Third Dodge truck in our family going back to '97 and they keep getting better. I ordered this the first day you could back in July and have been counting the days. Who else can say they drive a truck that the backseat leg room is compaired to an S- class Benz? Go for the bucket seats up front and hog all the room for yourself, roll back the sunroof and enjoy. Cummings has more power than 99.5% of us needs and after the break- in should see 20 mpg highway or better. The backseat headrests make for a few blindspots but the oversized mirriors more than make up for it and make it so you never have to turn around to backup. Quiet,smooth,fancy, powerful
