The 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 is known for its muscular presence and robust performance. This third-generation truck came with an option of single and dual rear wheels and two powerhouse engines - the 5.7L V8 with 345 hp and a Cummins 5.9L turbo-diesel I6 that offered an impressive 650 lb-ft of torque. Ram 3500 was offered with a 6-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission and two drive types - 2WD or 4WD. The available trims included ST, SLT, and Laramie with each offering unique features. Noteworthy, the diesel engine option made it a leader in towing and payload capacity. Safety features included ABS, dual front airbags, and an optional backup camera. While its infotainment wasn't fancy by modern standards, it had essentials such as AM/FM radio, CD player, and auxiliary input jack. The 2006 year model brought minor changes including redesigned badges and optional satellite radio.
