V6 vs Magnum V6

Ok, new to the Dakota world, have had another MOPAR in the past.
What is the difference between the 3.7L V6 and the Magnum V6??

As far as I know the only options for engines on the 2005-present Dakotas is

3.7
4.7 magnum
4.7 high output

I don't believe it is just a truck thing. I had a 4 banger in my last dakota and it was considered "magnum" but was just the bigger one at 2.5L instead of the smaller 4 banger at the time

You're probably thinking of the 3.9l LA series Magnum V6 which made 175hp in the 2nd gen Daks. The Powertech 3.7l makes 210hp in our trucks, I imagine it will be replaced with the new Phoenix V6 in the future.
