“With a combination of class-leading interior space, powertrain options and superior capability, the Dodge Ram 1500 offers the needed flexibility, good looks and durability that pickup truck buyers demand,” said Donoughe.

The Dodge Ram Quad Cab features four standard doors and 60/40 folding rear seats that ensure both passengers and gear fit in the back simultaneously and comfortably. By allowing the seats to fold up, tools and other items may be securely stowed away.

Striking a balance between interior functionality and exterior capability, the Dodge Ram Quad Cab is easy to maneuver in and out of the garage or tight parking spots.

The Dodge Ram regular cab offers just as much flexibility. There is substantial storage behind the rear seats, as well as space for significant seat travel and ease in reclining for driver and passengers.

Both the Dodge Ram Quad Cab and regular cab feature numerous front-seat storage areas and convenience features. The 40/20/40 front seat provides comfortable seating for three or ample center storage for one or two occupants. The center console offers room for a laptop computer and features fold-down storage dividers. The center “20” portion of the seat offers additional “hidden” storage under the cushion.

FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE SYSTEM
The 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 four-wheel-drive model offers a new standard electric-shift transfer case. The system delivers 45 percent of available torque to the front wheels and 55 percent to the rear wheels when four-wheel-drive mode is selected.

The new on-demand four-wheel-drive system includes a locking transfer case that features two-wheel drive, and four-wheel-drive “high” and “low” modes.

The 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 also features a “Tow/Haul” feature that provides crisp shifts and reduces gear searching when towing. The system will also select a lower gear in downhill conditions in order to utilize the engine’s braking capability.

RAM BIG ON SAFETY
The new 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 features a structure that provides excellent crash protection and safety features that are designed to protect passengers from real-world impacts.
