they were only available as an option on 2wd regular or club cab sport trims. only seen in white, black, red, silver or atlantic blue. quadcab option was technically called sport appearance group; and it only had the bed skirts and running boards; i've not seen the front stampede piece factory installed on a quadcab.

Is it pretty much the r/t after it was cancelled in 2003. In other words was that the top of the line model you could get. Btw were the only motors you could get in that the 3.9 and 4.7 i raced a kid in a black stampede cc and smoked him. i think he had a 3.9 though. Anyway if anybody else here can supply me with more info on these stampedes thatd be cool. thanks

Are they rare trucks also i guess and did any of them come in a 5 speed manual or automatic or was it just a 4 speed automatic like on the r/t.

nothing special about them at all, some had additional stampede badges. 2003 dakotas were the last to have 5.9 v8s, these engines were backed only byt the 4-speed 46re--all other engine options had available 5-speed manual transmissons. 5 speed automatics showed up in 2004, but only the 3.7 and 4.7 engines remain.

that cant be true because my 2003 dakota sport 4.7 has a 5 speed automatic.

The 5.9 was an option.....you couldn't get the option anymore after 2003. The 4.7's have been available from 2000. The 5.9's were only available with the 46RE 4 speed auto.

The Stampede option did not replace the R/T. The R/T was cut off as of 2003...the stampede package was a seperate option from the R/T. It was possible to get a Stampede R/T

This is true info. I'm not a big fan of body kits so i don't care much for the Stampede, but they are kinda rare. If you try to but the kit from a Dodge dealer you will shit yourself when they tell you the price, big bucks!

Yeah like Ben said above, You'll crap your pants when they tell you how much for the body kit, better off getting another body kit if you really want one.

Could you get the stampede with a 5 speed stick.

yes. i may be incorrect as to when the 5-speed automatic became available, but for sure it was never mated to the 5.9

2003 was the first year for the 545RFE. My truck has it mated to the 4.7.

Does anyone know if it can bolt to a 5.9?
