2006 Dodge Ram Pickup TRX 4x4 QCab review from North America
"Excellent, fun, well performing truck that looks great and drives better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had 3 Service Recalls - Passenger seat belt and airbag, and Wheel Bearings.
Had latch on center console (I have bucket seats) stick and they replaced the entire console. Pwr steering pump rusted on outside very quickly.
General comments?
Truck is very roomy inside and engine very, very responsive and quick. 4WD works great. Definitely need better tires than those that come on the truck when new if you plan on doing any type of offroading. The original tires gum up very, very quickly. Truck handles very easily and love it compared to a friends brand new Chevy Z71 (which has little power and steering response is like a tank). Truck is very smooth riding and pulls my Ranger boat like a dream. Excellent power and ease when in 4Low pulling boat up a steep ramp. Gas mileage sucks at todays prices, but is in line with this size of truck. If I stay out of it, I can get 13.7MPG city and 16 hwy. Forced them to give me no additional charge a spray in Line X bed liner before I bought it and love it. Would like to have had bump rails on doors as they already have dings from parking lots. Wish serious factory installed radio came with CD Changer or MP3 playing capability. Would like to have had rear air like Chevy, but front vent cools rear down well over little time.
