For 2000 two new colors were added to The Dakota R/T model "Bright White" and "Amber Fire". Solar Yellow was dropped, but a few were built early in the year. The 2000 Dakota R/T comes equipped with a 5.9-liter Magnum V-8 and large-bore, free-flow exhaust that delivers increased engine performance and an exhaust note that is backed up by its performance capabilities. A four-speed automatic transmission connects the 245 horsepower and 345 lb.-ft. of torque from the 5.9-liter Magnum V-8 to the limited-slip rear axle which turns massive 255/55x17-inch tires. The Dakota R/T's suspension tuning also includes front and rear stabilizer bars for added control. It's lowered one full inch and offered in only two-wheel drive configuration. Dodge was expected to produce 5000 units for 2000 but only 4,053 was built.

Please Note: The 2000 production numbers are not complete. Some Solar Yellow R/T's were built early in the year, but Solar Yellow was not an official 200 color. DaimlerChrysler has not been able to provide anyone with how many were built.

Update: We finally received some added information from Chrysler about the 2000 production numbers. They claim 841 regular cab R/T's were produced, this matches the information we got back in early 2001. The Club Cab information provided was a different number coming in at: 3287. The numbers are off 75 trucks from the previous list. Are these the Solar Yellow's missing? We have been unable to get this question answered.
