Used 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Quad Cab Consumer Reviews
poor gas milage
This truck is half the truck my 98 gmc z71 was. I mean the 4 wheel drive has a mild low range and cant really get the truck to pull the boat out of the water. The ride is rough and have no idea that a truck made in 2006 can get the same fuel economy as a model A. The comfort of the seat is like siting on a rock. I dont know if its because the truck is cheaply made or that all the other american made trucks are that much better. Also if you lean against the truck you will dent the slim sheet metal. I can't think of any other truck that shifts as much as this one. It dosen't even know when it wants to.

I never knew a truck could function so well as a true multi-purpose vehicle. It has excellent styling and build quality, a better ride than my 2002 Accord V6 that I traded in, lots of room, and an outstanding powertrain. Simply a great truck. The fuel consumption stings a little, but it could be worse.

Love the truck, wish it actually could get in the MPG rates that the window sticker had... but I didn't buy it for gas mileage. I'm averaging around 13- 14 MPG mixed driving. Other than that, it's a great pickup, plenty of power. A side note: I got sat. radio free for a year, neat service. I'm hooked.
2006 Dodge
Have had mine for 4 years now with 49k on odometer. At approx. 15k I had to have air recirculation door replaced (warranty). At 30k I had to have rotors turned and transmission replaced (transmission replaced under warranty). I rarely tow and when I do it is nothing more than an enclosed motorcycle trailer with a Harley. I'm a bit disappointed in reliability. Plenty of power, very quiet and comfortable ride and plenty of room except for rear seat passengers. Avg. fuel economy is between 16 and 17 mpg. -- I expected closer to 20 mpg with the MDS system. I'll keep it as long as it runs but I'll probably go with Ford when the time comes to replace it.

I'm a Chevy man but when I drove this truck I just had to have it. Fit, finish, performance are all excellent. Only minus is gas mileage.
