Get a build sheet from dodge. There's a thread with a link in the DIR/FAQ section

Sounds like an ST model, which is the base model.

Is there a sticker under the hood and/or near the inner door jamb that tells the basic configuration? Mine has one. Can't recall the exact location but there should be one.

ST came with no carpet, PW, PDL, fogs, etc.
SLT was just a trim package that included all that.

as said, there's a tag either under the hood or in the glove box, depending on year.
