The new 2006 Dodge Ram 1500’s Hotchkiss-design rear suspension utilizes leaf springs that are designed to reduce wheel hop and improve durability.  Spring rates have been selected to provide a poised ride when unloaded, and stable, confident handling when fully loaded to its 6,800-lb.

A rack-and-pinion steering system with new steering gears on both the two- and four-wheel-drive Dodge Ram 1500 models provides a precise and firm steering feel.

ALL-NEW INTERIOR
The interior of the new 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 complements the bold exterior by taking luxury and refinement to new levels in the pickup truck market.  Enhanced driver and passenger comfort and more feature content is abundant inside the new 2006 Dodge Ram 1500.

Driver and passengers will experience an interior environment that is 20 percent quieter than the previous Dodge Ram 1500, achieved by employing laminated front-door glass and improved door seals.  In addition, extensive use of Polymer Constraint Layer (PCL) and new body mounts reduces road noise and resonance between the engine and cabin.

All-new seats, including optional bucket seats with available leather trim, provide substantial bolstering and generous support while adding a rich appearance to the new 2006 Dodge Ram 1500’s interior.

A new instrument panel cluster — placed underneath a redesigned cluster brow — is designed to reduce glare, and a new, wide center stack contains a new audio system and new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning controls.

Premium amenities — including a new GPS Navigation radio, new rear-seat DVD (Quad Cab™ only), Infinity® sound system, UConnect™ hands-free communication system, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, sun roof, adjustable pedals, dual-zone climate control, heated seats and a new power-sliding rear window — are available on the new 2006 Dodge Ram 1500.
