Use the Body builders guide for all Dodge trucks from '04 to '14 year models.

Hey Jim
This link don't like a Chrome browser or what :H

Hmmm, I've had others say they opened it fine and a few couldn't. I use the 64 bit chrome browser.

Same here, maybe my virus program don't like it. All the Ram sites won't open for me, have to go back in time and use Explorer or Firefox :B

14300 is exactly what rating :H I assume that is max trailer weight.

Sorry, yes, I should have said that.
My buddy has that same 06 Ram 3500 SRW. He has 600 lbs more trailer capacity than I do. :h

Gas,
what does your trailer weight + mama bear's cargo list.
you need to have a good handle on this number before you go looking for a truck of any brand.

always seems like when water tanks and gas tanks are full + mama bear's stuff, the weight sure does mount up fast,

it's always best to load the trailer ready for the road, than have it weighed.

I have the 2500, 2005 model dodge Diesel and you cannot lockout overdrive on my model, you only have T/H, but it's been fine towing my trailer which only weighs around 7K.

Truck has plenty of power and T/H held the load back coming out of the mountain's.
however, I have been told with heavier loads, the T/H will not hold the load back, but that has not been a problem for me.

so, if you are going to tow near the limit of the dodge truck, you may want to invest in some type of exhaust brake, if the 2006 model does not have one.

good hunting, I have sure enjoyed my dodge truck,
I never owned a vehicle with that much hp and torque.

I would pass on a mega cab... They look hideous.

I'm pretty sure the Dually with the 3.73 is 12,200 GVWR and 21,000 GCWR. I believe the 4.10 the GCWR goes up to 23000.
But you mention both are short beds, so the Dually would be a Mega cab which has lower GVWR. Mega cabs are 4 doors and are big but you lose the 8' box.
