Not going to "blast" you, but I find it funny how every talks smack
about the R/T guys, but yet a lot of those same people try to make
thier trucks look like the R/Ts. As for the 2006 with R/T badging,
that's because it was a R/T. Dodge made "R/Ts" in the new body
style. They had the 4.7HO with 3.92 gears and the R/T badging. Other
than that nothing special. No suspension upgrades, no upgraded
wheels, not special paint. There's more to a R/T than the 5.9L and a
set of wheels.
But I do agree the GenIV Dakotas look like ass. I don't think Dodge
will ever be able to make another Dakota that looks as good as the
GenIIIs. The new facelift they gave the Dakota for '08 helps a
little, but still not good looking.
