Default What is the dodge OFF Road edition?

I was wondering about my my truck and the Off Road Sticker it has on the back. Its a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 XLT Laramie OFF Road quad cab. What does the off road mean? Do I have some performance parts instead of the stock type?I've been wondering since I got the truck.

You might want to request a build sheet from Chrysler. There's a link to the correct department in the 2nd Gen ram info sticky at the top. Took about 3 days for me to get a reply.

i believe they come with the 4:10s they look alittle higher then the non offroad trucks, so maybe a suspension upgrade.

Cool. I didn't know any of that. I bought this truck for 92500. I talked the dealer down from 11900 over two weeks. Its been a great truck so far. It get the P1740 code, but the tranny runs fine and has no metel in the pan. I even did the tsb with the small metel part. Still get the code.
