2006 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT Quad Cab 4x4 5.7L Hemi
Summary:
I would buy it all over again. Money well spent
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong with the truck. I have only done normal maintenance for oil changes, transmission, plugs, etc. No service work has been done at all.
There was a recall on front brake hubs, so the dealer replaced them. I had no problems, but free is a good thing.
General Comments:
This had been a reliable and fun vehicle to own. Handles great with the 20 inch wheels.
It has been extremely reliable.
It has a good sound to the motor adding to the fun to drive.
You can save at least $5,000 when purchasing a Dodge when you compare it to a comparable Ford or GM Product. Dodge dealers will work for your business.
I get plenty of compliments on the aggressive look. Dodge has done well on the appearance.
No brake problems. I replaced front pads at 50000 but didn't need to. Just a service habit I have. The rear pads are still on the truck with 66000 so far.
I have the 5.7 Hemi Multi Displacement Engine. I monitor every fill up and document in a spreadsheet. I average 17.2 MPG each of the last 2 years and I drive in the city everyday.
My 2003 Hemi 5.7 averaged more like 13-14 per gallon. This was a big selling point to get the 2006 Multidisplacement Engine Hemi.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Glad to hear you like your truck. I have a Ram too. This is my second one and I love it. I've been getting about 20mpg with the Hemi also. Way better than any of my Chevys ever got. I traded my 2001 Ram with 196,000 miles for my 07 only because of the deal I got. Enjoy your truck :)
