What do yall think about this truck, its got the 5.9L V8, and already comes with rims. Do yall think the price is a little high? Its going to be a big difference going to that from a 99 Grand Cherokee with the straight 6 (turd). Any opinions will be highly appreciated.

Id look for a used 2wd Nissan Titan you can get that for around the same price. And itll keep up with that thing easy trust me I know.

No way not for 14g with 51k miles...

Shoot spend 6g more and you can get a lightning..

Doesnt look like an R/T....the single cab R/T's are better anyways...good truck otherwise...but just drive it first

If you do get that truck, you should get a lot of sound deadening. My friend just bought an 03 and the interior panels are so flimsy it seems that they would liquify with any moderate system.

id get the model w/ the h.o. 4.7L...my buddy has one and its a much better truck then the r/t...he's doing mid 13's with minor mods

Im only getting 16.5 mpg now in a I6, so a V8 shouldnt be too much of a difference milage wise, power wise, totally different story. My pops has a dakota quad cab with the 4.7, and runs pretty strong, considering the weight. I think the 4.7L HO has to run on premium gas because of their high compression ratio, unlike the 5.9, and premium gas cost more. I might just get a WHITE 4.7L V8 or 5.2L V8 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif , 2wd, ext. cab, and do some light mods like rims, intake, exhaust, roll pan, and of course, 2 12" '05 alpine r's in a ported box.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Well i didnt want to start a new thread for this cause its talkin about the same thing kinda, but my dad is thinkin about getting 20's on his Dakota Quad Cab 4x4. The only thing he is stuck on is how it will look. I found a picture on a Dakota just like my dads, except the color is grey instead of white. I know alot of u guys are very familiar with photoshop, could one of yall possibly change the color of the truck to white instead of grey, it is really appreciated.

I really appreciate it, and my dad would too!
