Question 3.7 has more hp in Ram 1500

I wonder why Ma Mopar rates the 3.7L in the Ram 1500 at 215 hp, while the same engine in the Dakota is still rated at 210 hp at the same engine speed (rpms)?

If you look at the Ram 4.7L and 3.7L HP vs the Dakota both are higher. I guess it helps Ram sells if a buyer is stuck on which truck to buy. I love Dakota's and will probably have one for the rest of my life.
