Default 99 Dakota R/T?

theres one for sale around here and i dont know what all is on it exactly all i know is that its an R/T and is an extended cab...dont know miles but on average what would a 99 have and what would be a decent price? I looked it up in Kelley Blue Book and with most of the options and guessed 35k miles it was around 10k...i'm absolutely in LOVE with this truck and wanna get rid of my civic for it...haha so give me some ideas on this thanx!

yeah its the one with the 5.9 the only bad thing is that i dont think i'm going to have enough come out of my civic, then i'll be in the hole, and i bet gas on that thing is nuts

yeah gas will be nuts compared to a civic but if you like the truck you will sacrafice and spend a lil extra every month on gas i have a 5.9 in my truck and i only get 8-9 mpg but the R/T would get about 13-15 or more or less depending on how your driving is! Being a member of this forum i would venture to say.....10mpg!

haha yeah maybe closer to that...especiall how i drive my civic, its still a single cam, basically stock, and i drive it close to 5k almost everyday cause its slower so i gotta get it moving...i'd take it down a notch with a 5.9 and i'd drive a little better, and not risk sliding the rear end (too much at least)...

yes it's a 5.9 in it. No it's not that fast, 15.5s from what I see. Yes they are gas pigs. If you really want something like that look for a 5.9 Grand Cherokee, Friend picked one up and stock they seem to run 14.7 to 15.00 plus you get room for two real people and 4 wheel drive (not a huge selling point till you own someone when it's tamp out).

I raced one with a few mods and he walked me like a baby standing there picking its ass. He never would pull over so I could check it out. Pissed me off I wanted to know what was in it.
