Saturday evening we bought a new Truck, 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab SLT equipped with a Cummins HO Turbo Diesel. I absoultely love this truck especially leg room compared to our old Quad Cab, I am 5'11' and my brother 6'4 so we had quit the legroom problem. We got the 5/6 thousand dollar employee pricing rebate plus another 2500 for financing with Chryler Financial. (Quit the discount-ing huh?, Not that im complaining ) We got 19500 trade in cash for our 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab CTD (92,000 miles).

We got a light khaki color with a khaki interior.

Heres some pics......(So the exterior really aint that great...Its the interior)

That enough pics?

I will right more in the reviews section. :AH-HA_wink:

That is a sexy beast!

OK but where is the photo of you next to it with a goofy look on your face, way too much gel in your hair and wearing shorts?

Heh, that's a big SOB.

Yeah, those are monstrous. I saw one the other day and was wowed at its size.

Well its the same size as our old truck just more cab..

THanks all though..if we could of afforded a loaded 54,000 laramie mega cab...man i would sleep in it...

Oh, oh, oh! I've got an idea!

They make 36" rims, right?

wouldnt that be huge or what?

Nah, man. Only like.. 3 feet wide. And tall. Plus the tires. Not too shabby!

:lol:it would look cool.. but i wish they made a mega cab long bed like made a chassis jsut for a long bed

...but your dad would need a CDL license for that...

Mega Cab eh? Thats the one with the living room interior!

for some reason, I don't like the mega-cab. I dunno what it is, but it just doesn't jive with me.

Very nice truck...

That has to be fun to drive....

No not really, only when my brothers driving it ..my dad seems to be pretty smooth with the clutch... and i asked my dad why he likes a stick he said some thing like if one gear fails or somthing you can shift into the other one or soemthing and he sais he just likes it cause ya know cummins makes a 4 speed automatic

Nice Engine and thats about it.

I heard some bad things from mechanics about the new dodge truck frames and sheetmetal. Aparrently DCX cut some corners to be cheap which wont help it in the future. But the engine is good for 800,000+ miles easily if cared for. the truck it self might have some give in it after 3 years plus some under body corosion since you live in a area that gets hard winters.

But Any way they are very very nice trucks! although cough* Duramax GMC's are better Cough* sorry i think i might be getting a cold.

Very good logic, and exactly what has happened to my girlfriend's Geo Prizm...5 speed manual with only 1st, 2nd, and 5th that work...crapppy toyota

Wow... very cool!

And it's a stick, you have just jumped to an all out "super-cool"

status in my book. Cummins TD + 5-speed = BULLET-PROOF.

CONGRATS.
