2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab

Brian Chee’s Opinion of the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s Comfort:
If you like donuts, this is the truck for you. Large and in charge, the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab is Big Boy for big boys and their friends.

In other words, I loved it.
The wife, kid and dogs could live in this thing. It’s that big inside – and that comfortable. You half expect to find a television set in back. Dodge has equipped it with an optional DVD entertainment center, but there’s probably enough room for a nice big screen LCD. And with its reclining back seats, rear environmental controls, and big cupholders, you really could get comfy back there, stretch out and watch your favorite show. Front or back, everything is oversized and comfortable, with quality plastics, supportive seats and acres of room for all extremities. Up front, drivers can get optional bucket seats with a dinner table in between (not a joke – really) and a six-way power driver’s seat. Considering that you’re buying a rig like this – you probably have plenty of money – so spring for the buckets in leather, ride in style, and get ready to shout, for while the cab is quiet, there’s just so much space inside that you feel like you’re driving a living room down the road.

Heck, you could play a game of hide-and-seek inside this truck, and lose.

Ron Perry’s Opinion of the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s Comfort:
The interior of the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab is huge. Foot and knee space isn’t an issue here. Both the front and rear passengers have all of the head, leg and shoulder room they could require – even if they’re large. The front seats offer plenty of adjustment, lots of cushion, and were well bolstered for a truck seat. Fact is, you’re not going to be doing any hard cornering in this truck. Stepping up into the cab and slipping into the seats front and back requires developing your own style, but with the interior room and grab handles it is not difficult. The full-size doors also aid comfortable entry and exit. There aren’t many things to clutter the dash, so the layout and access is simple and easy. Back seat passengers benefit most from the extra room in the Mega Cab.

Thom Blackett’s Opinion of the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s Comfort:
Thanks, Dodge, for triggering that Napoleon complex afflicting all of the short guys out there. Walking up to the Ram Mega Cab, I thought “Damn, that thing’s huge. Cool.” Then I got closer, reached up to the door handle, opened the door, and found myself level with the middle of the steering wheel. And there’s no cab step or running board. Damn it. At least there’s a grab handle on the front pillar, and the steering wheel serves as a good hoist, too.

Those who are able to climb the Mega Cab hill will enjoy the seat at the top. Our tester featured upgraded leather seats that were big and comfortable – perfect for a long drive. Of course, seat heaters that worked quickly, padded armrests, a tilt steering wheel, adjustable pedals, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat helped. Rear seat passengers, the real focus of Mega Cab engineers, are afforded copious amounts of head, leg, and foot room and a firm split bench seat that reclines. A fold-down center armrest features two cupholders, while the center console includes air vents and a power outlet. When equipped, the DVD screen folds down from the ceiling and is operated with a handy remote.
