The substantial grille remains a mainstay of communicating the powerful and prominent Dodge Ram design signature, with the large crosshair as the focal point. Moved from the top of the grille to the center of the crosshair is the signature Ram’s head. “We have refined pickup truck styling elements for the Dodge Ram Mega Cab while enhancing the boldness and power that defines all Dodge Rams,” said Aneiros. New for the Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s Laramie trim is a one-piece body-colored fascia with integrated fog lamps and a chrome appliqué. The chrome accents add to the bold and rugged appearance, yet offer a premium look. The all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab grille is flanked by large, angular headlamp modules, which utilize halogen bulbs to provide 22 percent more light intensity than previous Dodge Rams. The headlamps extend deep into the fenders and provide a contemporary and disciplined look. Combined in the headlamp assembly are large, circular parking lamps, creating the impression of quad headlamps. The Dodge Ram Mega Cab’s turn-signal lamps run full length along the base of the headlamps, achieving a significant presence, while providing a benefit to fellow motorists. The bold front appearance of the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab is supported by an equally bold hood and fender combination. The hood features a pronounced crown effect that slopes to the prominent front fenders, precisely intersecting the body to enhance the overall bold stance. Underneath the fenders are all-new aluminum-forged 17-inch wheels. All-new rear doors and cab-back panel are squared off to reinforce the big-rig theme of the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab. Large rear windows dramatically convey and express a voluminous interior and enhance the open-air environment for rear-seat passengers.
