Why no activity in here?!?!
 

Man, this is the one Dodge truck I could ever own... and there's no one in here with pics or anything! Some questions then, did the R/T ever come with a manual? What years was it produced? What other websites are there for R/T enthusiasts?

There are only a couple Dakota guys tht frequent the board so that why no activity in here.
They never came with a standard.Not sure what years it was made and no idea on other boards i don't have one.

I believe they were produced from 98-03....I have a 03 RT RC, and know that it is the last year for the RT's I have not found any RT specific boards.

The truck is alot of fun...it just needs MORE POWER.

98 was the first year, they came out about 3 months after I got my old 98 ss/t (fastest dodge truck to be had at the time before the rt) in April of 98.

98-03, no manuals. all years were identical with only interior changes. here is the best R/T specific forum i have found... it has any thing you could ever wish to know. http://forums.delphiforums.com/dakotart/start. want some pics? lol they have plenty. i have a few, but it just looks stock :). that site is probably the reason that the few RT guys dont post on this board all that often, we get it out of our system over there.

All I can tell you that the new R/T Dakotas are a joke. I could not believe how slow they were. They sounds great from the factory, that's about it.

As for the older R/Ts, I always thought they were cool, but never got to drive one.

new R/T dakotas...? they started and stopped making them 98-03... there was a nbs SSS at the track the same day as i was this summer running 15.4 or so to my 15.45. by new what do you mean? im genuinly interested lol. i wouldn't ever own a nbs dakota tho... uglier than nbs chevies...never thought id say that. now TBSS yea... no contest they would deliver a stock to stock ass whoopin.

Nope, they made them again in 2006. I think they have 260hp 310ft=lbs HO engine. They mucked up and used a 4.7 liter though and most V6 trucks in the same class out accelerated it in tests, including my test when I was out looking at them.

Wow, Dodge messed up on that one.

Yeah, I looked all over York county to find one because back when the R/T used the 5.9, I thought they were awsome trucks, so I wanted to buy a brand new one. I was so upset after driving it and Dodeg def lost my confidence in the R/T line.
