2006 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 review from North America
"A Great Performer for an affordable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front Axle developed a small leak causing loss of lubricant during hard turns (Repaired under Warranty)
Drivers power window stopped working (Switch replaced under warranty)
Hook Latch DISAPPEARED while at the Dealer for it's first service (Replaced by the dealer free of charge)
General comments?
The engine and transmission perform seamlessly and it has more power than I ever had expected.
The redesigned interior (2006) is very nice and a big improvement over previous years.
The gas mileage is very good for a 4 door dually. I get 10-12 on the city and 12-14 on the highway.
It has a decent ride at speeds lower than 55 but it is very bouncy at highway speeds (65-90) and it doesn't take large bumps or holes in the road very well.
It has a HUGE blind-spot on both sides of the truck, even with the trailer mirrors extended.
The interior has lots of room in the front, but the back is very small for the size of the truck.
