Page 1 of 2 Chrysler Group began building the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab pickup today at its Saltillo Assembly Plant in Saltillo, Mexico.
The Dodge Ram Mega Cab has the most interior passenger space, cargo capacity, and functionality of any pickup truck in the industry, providing comfortable seating for six adult passengers and their gear. 
The Saltillo Assembly Plant also builds Quad Cab TM and regular models of the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty, and the Ram SRT10. With the capability to build three different truck bodies in multiple variations, the Saltillo Assembly Plant is one of the Company's most flexible, giving it the option to vary the product mix to best meet the customer preferences without sacrificing production. "The Saltillo team has been a great asset to the Chrysler Group," said Tom LaSorda, Chief Operating Officer of the Chrysler Group. "It is a versatile plant and the employees have demonstrated their ability to adopt new processes and technologies which help them efficiently produce high-quality vehicles." LaSorda will become Chrysler Group's President and Chief Executive Officer effective Jan. 1, 2006. The Chrysler Group made a $210 million investment to ready the assembly plant for the addition of Mega Cab production. The investment includes state-of-the-art equipment, including a completely new body shop, world-class processes, and extensive employee training. The plant successfully executed a rolling launch of the Dodge Ram Mega Cab: production of existing models was not halted to accommodate the introduction of the new model.
