06' Dodge Truck

[Cummnzpowr]

I got to get an close look at the 2006 heavy duties yesterday at a company i can't reveal the name of because i delivered some tires to them yesterday , but they do all the road testing on the next year model vehicles. Anyway, they had a couple of 06' Duallies one gas and one diesel up on the rack changing out rear-ends already for some reason. . i think they said the truck already had like 100k miles on it from testing, isn't that crazy? ... The truck looks the same except for the front end which looks like the 05' Dakota . The 4-door SRT-10 truck was also there getting some testing. .

Does it have those "square" fender shoulders that run back to the front door? :{

It looks like the Mega Cab.

I bet they had to r&r the rears so they could send the old ones back for inspection. I imagine Dodge wants to verify durability of major components. 100K miles is a good point to do that.

AMink: take a look at the mega-cab front end, same thing.



Joe: That is a good point. I know they change out tires on them every week or every other week to check wear patterns and suspension life mile to mile. . they are VERY thorough with their inspections. The company is out of Laredo Texas by the way, and they run all over south/southwest Texas all day long doing multiple tests on the vehicles. Oh yeah, i wonder why they all had Michigan license plates?
