I'm a total noob to these trucks, so y'all will have to go easy me. This is my first "truck" and first diesel. We just signed the papers on tuesday for a brand spankin' new 2006 MegaCab 3500. Traded in an '03 GMC Denali XL on 22's for the truck.





2006 Ram MegaCab 3500 SLT, Cummins, auto, 4wd, power rear glass, 6-disc/MP3 indash changer, Sirius sat radio (wish it was XM), drop-in bed liner, tan cloth interior, front "premium" bench, tow mirrors, fog lamps, steering wheel-mounted stereo controls, infinity 7-speaker sound system, forged aluminum wheels, anti-spin rear diff (I think it's got 3.73's, I've still got to learn all the specs!)... and the best part is, monthly payments are lower than what we were paying for the Denali and it should get 2x the fuel mileage while towing than the Denali did (6.0L + AWD + wide tires = baaad gas mileage towing).

Got the windows tinted yesterday right after we left the dealership (not tinted yet in those pics above though), and we're having a vinyl tonneau cover and some "stirrup" style side steps added this weekend (dealer threw them all in on the deal!). Might add some flares too. Going to be ordering a full set of Husky Liners for the interior probably next week.

We're also thinking about doing either a 2" or 4" lift from Superlift (just got signed up as Superlift dealers -- we run an online store for aftermarket Jeep parts and accessories) and maybe some 315's or something, probably BFG AT's or a similar "beefy" look street tire. Our two Jeeps are our play things (see Jeepin.com for more info on them) so we're going to try to stay pretty mild on the Ram. Is anyone on here running a Superlift kit on their truck?

 

Nice looking truck. The new Mega's are growing on me, can't wait to see the MegaCab long bed model when it comes out. I think someone on this board posted a pic of a lifted Mega once, looked pretty sweet.

 

Looks good...congrats !

Mega...
Man am I happy with this truck...

 

I love the chrome on the sides..... was not sure when I ordered it what it would look like...

 

Gorgeous man... I really like the white with the laramie bumper, chrome molding and cab lights.... You might have just changed my color choice! Of Course, I am stuck with whatever color I can find since dodge wouldn't let me order an 06 on may 1st!
