Slow unless you get gears, tuned and maybe even a cam. I likem though, wouldnt have one myself, I hate midsize trucks.

I personally like them, the stock dakota r/t rims look really good imo. Ive drivin a 2000 single cab dakota 4.7 and it ran preety good, since the r/t has the 5.9 it should run even better. Not very practical tho...

I don't like Dakotas or Durangos. I guess I just don't like the "old-new-mini-Ram" front end looks.

Do it! I always thought they were awesome. I'd love to have one! I drove one with a 4.7 and I thought it was pretty powerful. I'd think with a 5.9 it'd haul ass

At the time of its release, Automobile Magazine voted it one of the Top 10 Vehicles to get Sideways In.

Every 5.9l I've come in contact with has had a leaky transmission of some sort.

Buddy of mine had a 00? R/T with the 5.9 Magnum. With an aftermarket cat-back and K&N filter the best he could muster at the track was a 15.8 @ around 88 mph IIRC. Not the best gas mileage either. But if you like roasting the tires, this truck will do it at will.

Holy biggest link ever! The truck looks nice, are they the stock headlights? They look better to me for some reason. Clear turn signals maybe?

My buddy had one awhile back. His was slammed with a body kit front end, some nice big wheels and it had some other mods. Fast and really fun to act like a total fool in. That's a good price for that one. I'd drive one for sure. If you want a street truck that is. I prefer something that can also go off road and with a stick.

They need to have a 6.1 swap kit, that engine is awesome :twisted:
