Brian Chee’s Opinion of the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s Quality:
Big and beautiful, the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab is also well-built. Cabin materials are high in quality and nicely assembled; there’s little glare bouncing off the dashboard, and the door handles are large and sturdy, as are the dashboard’s knobs and buttons. I was especially impressed with the type and assembly of plastic materials inside: with so much plastic everywhere, it would be easy to come off as cheap, but the Mega Cab’s execution carries it through, for the most part. Also impressive is the type of safety equipment, such as large side curtain airbags with individual sensors – a requirement for this type of vehicle.

All in all, you get what you pay for, and for Mega Cab customers, you get a quiet cabin, a superb engine, good fit and finish, and materials that look like they’ll last a good long time.

Ron Perry’s Opinion of the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s Quality:
No obvious design issues or flaws were apparent during my drive in the Dodge Ram Mega Cab. This truck looks to be built tough to endure the punishment sure to be dealt by those that use trucks for work purposes. There aren’t a lot of exterior trim pieces on the truck that can come off and panel fit was up to par.

Inside the quality continues. Our truck was equipped with leather seats that were of good quality and, in fact, I saw no issues to complain about. I felt the interior of the Mega Cab was well-thought out and executed. If I were to change anything it would be to beef up the hinges and latch on the center console since this is an area that will get a lot of use.

Thom Blackett’s Opinion of the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s Quality:
At nearly $50,000, a well-equipped 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab needs to be a quality piece of work, and to some degree, it is. The exterior is marked by consistent gaps and body panels that line up well. Inside, much of the plastic feels durable, capable of taking the abuse consistent with years of truck use. And, to its credit, our test truck was rattle-free. But that’s where the praise stopped. The leather felt low-grade, the fake woodgrain was cheap, and the A-pillar covers popped off easily. Panels on the lower center console were loose, casting seams from the factory were readily visible on numerous pieces, and many parts didn’t fit quite right. For a truck in this price range, more attention needs to be paid to interior details.
