Click to enlarge. 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab Design With 44.2 inches of rear leg room, the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab has more stretch-out space than a Maybach luxury sedan.

The new Dodge Ram Mega Cab carries many of the new design elements that all the 2006 Ram pickups receive. Sharper angles incorporated into the trademark cross-hair grille give the truck a fresh look. The Ram emblem is moved from the hood to the center of the grille, and the headlights are redesigned to give clearer and 20-percent brighter lighting at night.

Moving to the side of the Ram Mega Cab, the full-sized rear doors open wide, making it easy to enter and exit the back seat. Unlike other four-door pickup trucks, the Mega Cab’s rear doors open to a mega-like 85-degree angle, revealing the largest door opening in the class of over 34 inches. Of course, spacious accommodations are what the Mega Cab brings to the plate. Rear legroom meets or beats some of the ultra-luxury sedans for sale today, and the Mega Cab also offers the segment’s first rear reclining seat backs.

Inside, Dodge includes a feature that converts the rear of the Mega Cab’s cabin into a camper. With just the touch of a button the rear seat cushions glide forward and the backrests slide down to form a large bed. Now that’s cool, and a great way to watch the optional DVD entertainment system with plasma viewing screen. And with the available power sunroof opened up, the Mega Cab is transformed into a home away from home.
