February 12, 2005 Bigger isn't always better. Unless it's your working truck and you need to carry a large crew and a bunch of stuff. Accordingly, Dodge set out to build the biggest pickup truck possible - more spacious, more comfortable and more practical. The all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab is the result - it's more spacious, more comfortable and more practical, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab. It's vital statistics are pretty spesh, and include: the largest, longest cab, the largest interior cargo volume, the largest cargo volume behind the rear seat and the largest flat floor load area. The Mega Cab's large interior can seat six adults in comfort with their gear. Show "Packaged with full-size Ram capability, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab offers the most interior passenger space, cargo capacity and functionality of any pickup truck on the market," said a Dodge spokesperson. "Dodge Ram Mega Cab is the first and only pickup truck to comfortably seat six adults and provide enough interior storage space to bring along plenty of gear. Since the year 2000, demand for full-size crew cab pickup trucks has grown approximately 19 percent according to Dodge, so the Mega Cab is an appropriate response. The all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab's 145.2 cubic feet of interior space also features an innovative range of seating and storage configurations, including the first reclining rear seats available in a pickup truck, tilting back from a 22 to 37 degree seatback angle for added comfort. The rear-passenger area of the Dodge Ram Mega Cab offers best-in-class leg room of 44.2 inches and the rear seats also split 60/40, fold down and move forward, providing numerous configurations for maximum interior cargo capacity and flexibility. "Pickup truck buyers use their truck in a variety of different situations," said the Dodge spokesperson. "They use it for their daily driver, family road trips, and various recreational activities. The all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab delivers ultimate versatility, offering the most functionally diverse cab ever created for pickup truck buyers who want more room, comfort and convenience." Space in a Different Place The starting point for the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab is the 160.5-inch wheelbase Ram 2500 long box model. Engineers re-proportioned the cab and the pickup box by replacing the eight-foot long box with the Ram 2500's six-foot, three-inch box, providing an additional 20 inches for the cab. The result is a cab length of 111.1 inches - more than 12 inches longer than the 2005 Ford F-250 Crew Cab. Premium amenities offered in the 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab include a full-screen navigation radio, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, power-sliding rear window, heated front bucket seats, power sunroof and adjustable pedals. In addition, generous storage bins and compartments, flexible-sized cup holders, and premium materials create a functional and upscale atmosphere within the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab.Full-size Pickup Truck Capability and Power Available in Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 models, all 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cabs are built on the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty structure. Chassis, frame, axles, wheels and signature Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Cummins Turbo Diesel and HEMI engines provide more than enought power and payload capability. "The prerequisites for a full-size pickup truck are maximum power, maximum torque and maximum towing capability and the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab delivers on all three," said Donoughe. "The Dodge Ram Mega Cab consists of a proven frame and chassis design packaged with engines truck enthusiasts clamor for: Cummins and HEMI." With two brutal engines offered, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab provides the ultimate in full-size pickup power. The 5.9-liter High-Output Cummins Turbo Diesel, available on the 2500 and standard on the 3500 model, is rated at 610 lb.-ft. of torque and 325 horsepower. It is available with a new six-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission. The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, standard on the Dodge Ram Mega Cab 1500 and 2500 models, leads the crew cab segment with 345 horsepower and 375 lb.-ft. of torque, and is available with a five-speed automatic transmission. Along with class-leading power, the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab retains Dodge Ram's heavy-duty towing and payload capability with a maximum towing capacity of 15,800 lbs., a payload of 2,840 lbs. and Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVRW) ratings of 23,000 lbs. and 9,900 lbs., respectively.
I’m torn between the two cab options. I can find tons of crew cabs around where I live with most of the options I’m after but only few mega cabs across the country are close to what I’m after. I’ve got two growing boys (12 and 9) and were the main reason for the mega cab in the first place. So what do I give sacrifice with the crew cab and is the mega cab really worth it? Thanks for the
help.

Mega cab and crew cab are almost the same seating room just 2.5” more leg room in the mega cab,( im 6’2” and fit with lots of room in the crew cab)you will have storage behind the rear seats and slightly reclining seats in the mega cab but for the little bit more room in the mega cab you lose the 8ft box which is a huge deal breaker for me. So in my
honest opinion the crew cab is plenty big enough for kids and not worth the hassle trying to source the mega cab with the options you want
just to note. you can fit a full golf bag behind the seat with a little room to spare.

I love my 06 mega cab. Use the behind the seat storage all the time. Not just when I have the kids in the truck either. It's about the only place in the truck that's hidden from outside view. I also like the under rear seat storage for long things like CB antenna, golf umbrella. The fold down flat seats is also convenient at times. The crew cab is much less appealing for me mainly for
the behind seat storage. Going crew cab will increase the payload quite a bit vs mega cab. I am waiting for the 2022 HDs to see what features move up, but I will not hesitate to get the mega cab again. Interestingly, though, the 1500 5th gen crew cab has 2.1" more leg room than the mega cab (45.2" vs 43.1"). I wonder if FCA will drop the mega cab once the HDs go to the 5th gen body. I for one, hope not. If you need the long bed, go crew cab. Or get best of both worlds and shell
out another ~$8k for the custom long bed conversion on a mega cab.

I for one, hope not. I have a suspicion that the 5th gen HD is not going to offer a mega cab because of how large the 5th gen cab is and that it already has reclining back seats. I figured I better get a mega cab while I can. If they come out with an even better mega cab in the 5th gen, at least I'll have the option to trade up for that. Sprink21 - If you can wait a few months to get it, you could order one and get everything you want and nothing you don't.
I'm a new owner of a 2020 Mega Cab. I have really been enjoying it. I have four kids and wanted the Mega Cab for the extra space. It's not our normal family vehicle, but we have been on number of trips with all 6 of us in the truck and it is quite comfortable. The kids love the back. One thing that sold me on the Mega Cab over Crew Cab is the seat in the back. It is flat across the front. The
CC rear seat has an indentation in the middle, and not very comfortable. If you are putting three in the back then the Mega is a no brainer. IMG_8866.jpg 1.2 MB · Views: 155 IMG_8844.jpg 849.4 KB · Views: 160

Have 3 boys (12,10,10) and chose Mega. Behind seat is great to store extra clothes (soccer), tools..etc. I probably would have been just as happy with the Crew.
I dunno about the 2 and a harf more leg room calcamcalation. In my crew 7yr old kid has her feet all over the console and it drives th wife bonkers in the passenger seat! In the mega not much of a problem. I prefer the peace and quiet the 19 MEGA offers.

going by Ram’s brochure dimensions. When I was considering the CC I found a video comparing the two cabs that’s very good and in depth. He shows the difference by him just sitting in the two cabs and there does appear to be more room than the calculation shows. As a point of comparison, I have sat in my friends 2019 5th gen 1500 Rebel crew and can tell it has a little more room than my 06 mega, which the brochure numbers indicate.
One of the biggest issues i had with my crew cab that made me order the mega cab was that the middle seat was smaller than the two main seats. reclining rear seats on the mega is also real nice for the family.
Mega. Cab so much more room very comfortable glad we chose tha cab
I needed the 8' bed, so my choice was made for me. However, I never had any concerns with the Crew vs Mega with my 2015 or 2016 trucks either. A few minutes with a hack saw or a handful of washers makes the Crew Cab behind seat storage easily accessible and while not as large of a space, has plenty of room for my needs (recovery gear, air compressor, ratchet straps, emergency
clothes, blanket, sleeping bag, jumper cables, snow brush, first aid, etc...). My oldest is 6'2" and has no complaints about the leg room, even when I have my seat as far back as it will go.
I've seen the seat mod on youtube. I was curious how much room there actually is when the seat backs are up and in place. I would do the mod if I thought it was
worth it, but I just can't tell from the videos I've seen. B
I will keep buying the mega cab as long as they keep making them. I absolutely love the room behind the back seat and do not need the 8' bed. I have 3 kids, 13, 13 & 17 and it is perfect.

B With the contours along the back wall, I don't see it being usable down to 1", but hopefully these photos help a little. At the bottom, below what would be level with the seating surface, there is a little more room than I could photograph, but I'm sure you could easily assess that by just lifting up the seat and feeling around. That said, there is about 5" where things would clear the hinges (if you have a split bench) and 17" from floor up to the protrusion close to the latches, where there is about 2".
That's awesome info, @LateToTheParty , thanks! B
I have the megacab - worth every penny. I do several interstate trips towing a car trailer, and the extra storage is well worth it. If you really need a 8' bed, then that's the only reason not to get it. I wanted the extra storage, and didn't want to get the Ramboxes.
