Well the 4.7 is gone already. As well as the truck it was in. I now have a 06 1500 hemi sport 4x4 w/ 52k miles (32k less than the 07).

The 4.7 might be great in a Dakota but its not meant for a ram. More pics later.

Nice, need to lose the chrome though. Pick up some spacers for the front coils and level that bitch :D



Uhh, because they're doors. :huh: They don't open backwards so, where do you expect the handle to be?

I dont like four door trucks, I like the previous model Ram with the backwards opening door. I think most other extended cab trucks still do it, like the Chevys

it will be lifted for sure. Also those mirrors are coming off for a set of towing mirrors. Not sure what I'm gonna do w/ the handles yet.

I prefer it when the back doors are hidden like that, but it's probably more practical to have normal doors if you're going to have doors. I'm still not sure on the look of 4 doors on a truck though.

The Ram looks awesome! This was definitely the best looking Ram that Chrysler came out with and the styling took a severe hit with the latest version. I keep going back and forth on whether I find this generation Ram or the Gen 3 Dakota to be the best looking mass-produced truck.

What did you have before, a Dakota with a 4.7?

I don't like the reverse club cab doors at all... It would be annoying as hell to have to open my door or reach over and open the passenger door every time one of my kids wants to get in or out of the back seat. It's the same reason I bought a QC Ram instead of a Challenger (besides the fact that I think the Challengers are massively overpriced).

Who me? My Dakota was a 3.9L. I traded my 07 ram qc for the hemi.

No qc r/t and 5.9 qc are hard to come by and have high miles. A r/t will come after the ram is paid off.

Yeah but no bank wants to finance what he was asking for a 10 year old Dakota. I tried my best to get it but it didn't work out. Hated to see it parted out but oh well.
