Dodge Ram 1500 features standard next-generation driver and front-passenger air bags. The passenger-side air bag may be turned off on Dodge Ram regular cab models to accommodate child seats. The 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab features an Occupant Classification System (OCS), which measures the conditions for activation or deactivation of the front passenger-side air bag based upon the weight of the occupant.

The 2005 Dodge Ram also includes a standard Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) child seat anchor system. The LATCH system works in conjunction with the standard child seat tether anchors to create safer child seat attachments.

Dodge Ram’s braking system features the largest four-wheel disc brakes in the segment. The system reacts to driver input quickly and precisely. Rear-wheel anti-lock brakes are standard on all models, while four-wheel ABS is an option. The standard P245/70R17 tires with 17-inch steel wheels are
the largest standard tire and wheel combination in the segment. Included among the numerous wheel and tire options are massive P275/60R20 tires with 20-inch cast-aluminum wheels available in chrome.

The 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 also offers optional power-adjustable brake and accelerator pedals to help shorter drivers feel more comfortable. Adjustable pedals are also available on Dodge Ram models equipped with manual transmissions.
