overpriced, and the R title = a pain in the *** for you when it comes to insurance and getting it tagged depending on your state laws and regulations, even if you can get it insured and tagged. I would still not offer him anything near 6800 for it.

I think that guy is a member over at Dakotadurango.com i think he tried to sell it on there, he caught a **** load of flak from the members due to the price and title issue.

I not sure what rt's are going for today but user would know lol and I have to agree with user R titles are very hard to get insured and they make a big deal about this and that and in the end its not worth it. Its a good looking truck but not a 6,800 truck with a R title

well i guess prices went down cause 2 years ago i would bought that. but if the seller has issues stay away. and if you didn't know all r/ts are 2wd auto's.

The R/T is slow, heavy, auto, and it guzzles gas...

Yes. I've also driven a 5 speed 4.7, and it was faster.

actaully 5.9 are slow till you get the right tune ! and a 5 speed will make a huge diffrence. i bet if you had a 5 speed with the 5.9 it will smoke the doors of the 4.7
