VADriven.com Forums - 2001 Dodge Dakota R/T, 5.9L V8 $5500.00 OBO (Norfolk VA)

This is a good running truck i have had it for about 2 years with no major problems. I am selling it because i need to get something bigger. This truck is rather fast, but its pretty good on gas. It comes with a 10" sub and 2 5 by 9 s in boxes. JVC sound deck. And a 900 watt amp For any question call Billy at 903-870-6807.

Standing out from the compact pickup crowd is the Dakota R/T. This limited-edition performance pickup is equipped with a 5.9-liter Magnum V-8 engine and a large-bore, free-flow exhaust that delivers increased engine performance. A powerful exhaust note backs up the truck's performance capability. The 250 horsepower engine is mated to a four-speed transmission, and is supported by massive 255/55x17-inch tires. The Dakota R/T is lowered one inch and features unique suspension tuning and front and rear stabilizer bars for added control. Further enhancing its street truck reputation, Dakota R/T is only offered in two-wheel drive. For 2001, all Dakota models get a fresh new interior and a host of new customer convenience features that widen the gap from the competition
