2007 Dodge RAM 2500 Laramie
MEGA 4X4 Turbo Diesel
by
K athleen C arr
Pickup trucks are A m erica’s ulti
mate raw material. Generic in con
cept, these traditional work-horses
are often m isunderstood and unap
preciated. D odge has addressed
this by creating the largest crew
cab pickup available, the Ram Mega
Cab. The 2007 Ram 2500 Laram ie
MEG A 4X 4 is immense.
T he Dodge Ram M ega cab has
the m ost spacious interior avail
able in the full-size segm ent, with
room for six adults. The M ega leads
the market with best-in-class fea
tures such as: 72.2 cubic-ft. o f inte
rior cargo space, with an additional
7.7 cubic-ft. o f behind-rear seat
cargo area and a very com fortable
44.2 inches o f second-row leg room.
T he X X L cab was created by re
proportioning the relationship be
tw een cab and bed, adding 20-
inches to the cab and shortening
the bed to 6-feet 3-inches.
The result is acres o f luxurious
cab space w ith plenty o f head,
shoulder, leg and hip room. The
back seats are roomy and com fort
able with the first-ever reclining
rear seats, separate rear heating
and air conditioning outlets, read
ing lights and a center armrest. The
rear doors open big and wide, m ak
ing it easy to load stuff. Covered
bins are provided in the rear seat
storage area store gear, and hooks
for hanging things.
T he M ega cab is built on the
D odge Ram Heavy Duty platform.
They ride and drive like heavy duty
pickups; w hich makes a lot o f sense
if yo u ’re tow ing and hauling heavy
loads. All 2007 Dodge Rams boast

Specifications: 5.9-Liter 1-6 325-hp Cummins Turbo-Diesel @610 Ib-ft torque Engine; 4WD. 4-
Speed Shift-on-the-Fly Automatic Transmission: 16-City 20-Highway Mpg; $54,395 MSRP.
MEGA Ram Flexes
‘Macho ’ Cummins Muscle
big tow ing capacities, up to 15,900
pounds, with payloads o f up to
2,970 pounds.
The vaunted 5.9-liter Cum m ins
Turbo-D iesel is a straight six-cylin
der fitted with an intercooled, tur
bocharged induction system, with
fuel delivered via an electronic high-
pressure com m on rail system. The
advantage is additional torque, 6 10
Ib-ft that com es on at just 1600 rpm.
This engine has a reputation for
reliability and power. TheC um m ins
responds extrem ely well to part-
throttle acceleration at low speeds.
It’s a remarkable engine: the ‘heavy-
duty k ing’. The 4W D trucks have a
solid front axle and use a recirculat-
ing-ball setup steering system.
Dodge implemented a significant
pow ertrain upgrade this year. A
6 .7 -liter C u m m in s turb o -d iesel
inline-six cylinder engine ( late avail-’
ability) replaces the previous 5.9-
liter Cum m ins. It produces 350-hp
at 3,000 rpm and 650 lb-ft o f torque’
at 1.500 rpm. D odge says it’s q ui
eter and less polluting than the 5.9-
liter and it will be available with an
industry-first exhaust brake. The’
new 6.7 Cum m ins will com e with an'
all-new six-speed autom atic that
replaces the previous four-speed
automatic.
A lth o u g h it’s built to take on
the m ost dem anding task, the 2007
D odge R am 2500 M E G A is still a
surprisingly com fortable truck for
d aily use w ith p len ty o f ‘m obile

Ram is ce rtain ly w orth c o n s id e r
