HISTORY of the R/T Dodge's R/T performance history dates back to the late 1960s. A time when Mopar powered Hemi, Big and Small Block muscle cars rules the street and the drag strip. The first R/T (which stands for Road and Track) was a high performance version of the 1967 Dodge Coronet. Offered in both hardtop and convertible form, the standard R/T featured a 440 cubic inch (7.2L) V-8 power plant, heavy duty suspension, beefier brakes, larger tires, and R/T badging. If that wasn't enough, you could order the legendary 426 cubic inch (7.0L) Hemi engine rated at 425 horsepower. Over the years many different models had a n R/T edition including Aspen, Coronet, Charger, Challenger, Neopn, Viper, and more. In 1998, Dodge added the Dakota to the list, the first truck to wear the R/T badging. The Dodge Dakota R/T went on sale in the spring of 1998 and was produced through 2003. The R/T features the 5.9L (360) Magnum V-8 packing 250 horsepower and 345lb-ft of torque. Maximized with a performance-tuned dual inlet stainless steel exhaust system and a heavy-duty electronic four-speed automatic transmission (46RE). Wearing oversized 17-inch wheels and P255/55 R17 tires gives the Dakota R/T a solid, stable footprint, which further enhances handling. The suspension, which was built with a focus on road handling as opposed to load hauling, is lowred to give the R/T a sleek, road-hugging look and feel. The Dakota R/T has front and rear stabilizer bars to control handling, but the rear bar is a beefier 19mm to minimize body roll in turns during cornering and a limited-slip differential for improved traction and quicker starts. In true street vehicle fashion the Dakota R/T offers a nimble ride, precise handling, stable cornerng and an exceptionally responsive power train and still over delivers on style, capability and comfort but is only offered in a 4x2 configuration. The Dakota R/T's distinctive sport truck styling statement is underscored with a unique exterior pachage, which includes front and rear color-keyed bumpers and flared fenders to accommodate the vehicle's larger wheels and tires. Dakota R/T was available in two body styles: 4x2 Regular Cab or Club Cab. According to production numbers, this is one of less than 1,400 Club Cabs which were produced in Black for 1999.

I have owned this vehicle for several years and during that time, the valve body went out at 130,000 miles. Due to the mileage I decided to completely rebuild the transmission. It is new from seal to seal. There are two spots on the driver's seat which were there when I purchased the truck. They appear to be glue or something, not really sure. Outside has a few little rock chips on front but no major scratches or dents. Overall I think it looks darn good for a vehicle of its age. Please contact me before bidding if you have any questions.
