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 255/55×17-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. Atlantic Blue, Bright Silver and Graphite Metallic were added to color choices.
