The genesis of the R/T name
came from Dodge Truck engineers who in their youth cut their
teeth building street rods and looked to bring that feeling
of power and performance to the compact truck segment.
Dropping a big motor in a small truck provided the
performance; truck racing delivered the handling. Today, the
Dakota R/T is a performance truck like no other. It meets
the highly unique needs of the performance truck enthusiast
and provides yet another image beacon for the Dodge brand.
The truck's performance capability is supported with a
throaty and powerful-sounding exhaust note. The
250-horsepower (187 kW) engine is mated to a four-speed
transmission. Power connects to the pavement with massive
255/55x17-inch tires. Bringing the R/T to a halt are
new-for-2003 standard four-wheel disc brakes with optional
ABS. Dakota R/T is lowered one inch compared to other Dakota
models, and features unique suspension tuning and front/rear
stabilizer bars for added control. Further enhancing its
street truck reputation, Dakota R/T is offered only in
two-wheel drive. 2003 would be the final year for the Dodge
Dakota R/T. |
