Default 2010 Dakota R/T?

While driving home the other day, I seen a new style Dakota (the ugliest style yet) that had R/T wrote in big letters on the back fender. The hood said High Output V8. I searched the internet and can't find these trucks at all. Still had paper liscence plate. Has anyone else seen one?

No pics? I had to laugh, the ugliest style yet.

Trucks don't have back fenders, only front fenders. They're called boxsides.

Is it possible he just got it, went to graphcs place & had some graphics put on just to mess w/. people...like you?

Well, I seen him again this evening going the opposite direction. Although my truck is not fast by any means, I will try and see just how powerful his "High Output V8" really is next time I see him!!

I would have thought with the 4.7L 300+ HP in a somewhat lighter truck would be a little fast. Not sure what all larsy87 has done to his truck but to beat one while pulling a trailer makes the dakotas not only ugly but slow too!

in all fairness the trailer was empty and probably doesn't weigh more then 500 pounds, and i'm a single cab stepside...he's a crewcab.

4.8, exhaust, intake and mild "tune". nothing major. dakotas are just as ugly as they are slow!
