2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Reviews and Ratings

26 mpg full size 4x4 on the highway!! if I only didnt in California..

I bought this truck new at the end of 2006. It has been extremely dependable and has virtually had no problems. It is a heavy duty 3/4 ton so the ride is a little stiff but that''s ok. Mine has the 5.7 Hemi and it has plenty of power for pulling the trailers I put behind it. As good as it''s been overall I will probably buy another Ram when I decide to trade.

I''ve done several recalls on this truck, left "A" pillar handle pulled off/broke under my 165# weight getting in. Needs steps welded to rock guards to get in. Plenty of power, should have had 4:10 instead of the 4:56 that the new ones have. Difficult to get lockers to engage. The stick shift broke off tranny shaft and had to be welded. I had an ''05 power wagon that had to have the steering box replaced and the upper A arm bushings replaced before it would steer straight down the road. So far the ''06 steers better.

I love this truck

Bought the 2006 quad cab 4X4 2500 diesel engine new in Nebraska. Pull a 11000lbs fifth wheel all over Colorado with plenty of power. Has 6 speed standard transmission and get approx 23mpg solo. with camper 11 to 16mpg depending on terrain. Only change I would make is the engine has enough power for an 8 speed trans. In 6th gear feels like I could keep shifting up to lower rpm''s at cruising speed. Currently have 150 miles with only routine maint. Engine and drive train still going strong with no rust anywhere. Would definatly buy again.
