I know there is the sxt but those usually say it on the side. i havent really looked into that deep, so i was just wondering. any input would be awesome. thanks

Could be either a debadged truck(last owner might of done that) and guy might of broke the grille or wanted a new one and got one that was chrome one.

That black one looked alright... but the brush guard and the rims (chrome) just don't do it for me...

sucks that it sold cuz that isn't a bad price either but anyway good luck and these trucks can last well over 200k miles so i wouldn't nessesarily worry about getting one with like 70-90k miles

You can go to the Dodge web-site and request a copy of your build sheet, it will have all the o.e. info.

Tell me about it... My parents just bought a truck like mine (nearly exactly like mine) and they had to pay ABOVE KBB to get it... so many people are looking for trucks like ours and its driving the price up like crazy

i like it... clean looking truck, body is in decent condition... tires look aftermarket (probably rub) but its a clean truck for sure...

however its still going to have the 4 speed automatic (vs. the 5 speed which came out in 03)

Is that price in Canadian $? if so thats not a bad price
