"Outside the changes are not too earth shattering, but the 2006 Ram is getting more updates underneath than we had expected. The Ram 1500 gets a new frame, suspension, sheetmetal and interior and will gain a few mpg with the use of the 5.7-liter, 345 horsepower, 375 lb ft Hemi V-8 with the Multiple Displacement System (MDS). This is the first use of the Hemi with MDS in the Ram truck."
The frame of the 06 up is supposed to be much stiffer than the 05s down.
