Depends on you. What are you going to do with it? 4X4 or 2WD? I have
the 3.90's and I average 16 MPG with the 31" tires. They pull like
crazy, and give you a better GVWR, but they will hurt mileage a
little, and they can drive you nuts in heavy traffic with a stick
shift like mine.

Saw a picture of one, and it looked like a normal Dakota. It didn't
have the Indy Ram's cool stripes or wheels, but that could change
closer to production, or they may have just put a normal Dakota
picture up with the story.

I read somewhere that it has the same wheels as they do now. Check out
Ron Wilson's Ram page, he had the info I think....

If I had know about the upcoming RT package I would have waited...oh
well.
