It is very much worth it. Great for arm rest and sweet place to keep my CD's and stuff.

I'm not saying i don't fit, I'd just like some more room.
I saw a CC R/T today, I have to stop and inquire on Monday, I'm going to keep the RC also, my son (8yrs old) already claimed it for when he gets his DL

Well this is my first vehicle. It was a right place and time things. i love my truck. Its a 5spd, v6,and has power nothing. I wish i had more room for subs and i wish i had 4 wheel drive. This truck was originally a carquest parts truck, so it wasnt really loved but its not in bad condition. Also i think the CC and QC look stupid lowered.

I love my RC, but kinda wished i had gotten a CC for a bit more room. Cramming 3 into the cab is a PITA, but hey the truck was the better deal of 2 dakotas the dealer had. And much better than my first vehicle, a worn out 1999 Ford Explorer with a nasty timing chain slap.
It was either a '02 CC 3.9 4x4 with 130K miles and needed some bodywork down the driver bedside. Or my '01 RC 3.9 4x4 with 73K miles in excellent shape. I enjoy it regardless of the room. Would only trade mine if it was a straight-out trade, maybe for a R/T or CC with a v8.

i love the looks of the rc over the c/c and it was the right place at the right time... the only thing i wish i got instead was a 5 spd.... but beggars cant be choosers... it was my first vehicle.

I had a 87 chevy that kept having problems with.. got to the point that i could put any more into it... i had some money put away and i didnt spend as much on my fiancees car as i had planned so i started looking.. I wasnt really looking for a dodge, i just needed a truck, pref 4x4 b/c of the cleveland winters (also b/c ima good ol' boy from the mountians of NC) but i needed to be able to haul my stuff to and from college, and a place for my motorcycle. I found my RC dakota the day after my chevys axil broke (the night it broke i was on my way back from auto zone, i have just spent 200 on a battery and alternator) got it for 4k, 130k miles and one owner, nice older gentlemen, I knew i wasnt goin to find a 4x4, 5speed, v8 any make of truck in that gooda shape for a better price, not around here anyway so i bought it the next day... And I love my RC

I wasn't looking for a truck, just needed to replace my 02 Neon that just went up in flames. Walked onto the lot to see what smaller cars they had (hopefully another Neon) and I saw my 2000 RC 4X4. Even though I swore to my wife that I would never own another 5 speed, that is what sold me on it. I just love driving a clutch. Helped that it was the right price as well. Had a chance to buy a 01 QC 4X4 with the 5.2 5 speed, but I hated the color. It was forest green with chrome rocker panels. :vomit: I gotta say that I love my RC, but my wife hates riding with me since it's a 5 speed (I don't like slowing down for yellow lights 
)

For comparison, a 2001 Honda Civic's is 36ft. 4in.

when i went "car" hunting (yes, at first i was going to buy a car!) i just got a new job driving almost 100 miles a day and after talking it over and over again with my dad he told me that i have way to many toys NOT to have a truck and i need to start hulling your own shit around.... so there ya have it! i started looking a full size rams like a a '05 1500 fully loaded with on board dvd and navi.... after i found out my payments where almost 450 a months i had to pass on it, after talking with the salesman he showed me a nice '01 CC with a V6 in it that was red... didnt really want a V6 cuz of pulling... then he told me he got one more in about 3 weeks ago and it in the back... so i tag along and there it is... and all black 2003 RC (2 1/2 years old) with 60 k on it.... guy tell's me it has one of those new V8's in it and this would pull what you need to pull nicely. so i think sweet! got the keys!!! i fire up the truck and all i hear is the rumble of the straight pipe out the back... guy tells me if i want to take if for a spin and and im like WHO THE FUCK WOULDNT!!? and before he asks me if i know how to drive a manual i let the clutch out and leave a nice 3 foot posi mark going out the parking spot lol. drive it around for a a bit and everything checks out, thing runs like a top... i get it back and tell them ill be back tomorrow to pick it up! and there ya have it. wasnt really planing on getting a dakota at all! really wanted a full size truck. but that night i found out that with going with a RC and not a full size ram i saved almost 80 bucks because of the fewer am amount of passengers in my vehicle! so theres a big plus! and on top of that i got them to put on new tires, change all the fluids, brakes, and greased everything that had a zirt on it. and to seal the deal i told them i wanted free car washes and oil changed for a year! after that it was a done deal and i was a proud owner of a RC koda!

I bought my 99 RC sport because obviously, it's lighter and makes a better hot rod truck. Plus, i have a 98 CC too, and the back seat in it is worthless anyway, grown people cant fit in it, kids can, but aside from that, it gets filled with clutter. My RC can't get filled with clutter cause there's almost no room at all behind the seats, so..
