I purchased this 2002 Dodge Dakota R/T in October of 2001 specially ordered from Dodge. From the factory it is loaded with every option except 4 wheel ABS and steering wheel audio controls.
Equipped with a 5.9L V8, the Dakota R/T boasts 250HP and 345 lb-ft. of torque off the showroom floor. This engine has the distinction of being the most powerful engine among all compact pickups. First produced in the 1998 model, 2003 marked the final year of production for the 5.9L Dakota R/T.
