Its gonna suck compared to the Gen 2 r/ts. its only gonna have a h/o 4.7 liter in it, a gay hood scoop and some stickers. Same stock wheels that come on most daks and R/T sewn in the head rest. Big whoop!!

Hmm...4.7L HO = 260Hp, 310ft/lb tq ... 5.9 = 250hp, 290ft/lb tq Don't know about you but seems to me that the 4.7L has the advantage....I have to the admit, the GenII Dak has a slight advantage in weight (< ~300 lbs curb).

The "Gay hood scoop" is a matter of opinion...I personally like it and have gotten many looks and comments about it...the only part I find distasteful is that it is not functional.

My wheels are far from stock (265's and chrome five spoke).

So...yeah...BIG WHOOP!

I like the way the hood scoop looks, but I want one that's functional. I've thought about getting one put on, but, it's not functional, and I want to get the performance out of it.

I wish they had put on different wheels though. My Laramie has the exact same wheels. The R/T should be different than other Daks.

Smoking something good? The 5.9 Dak, non-RT, that I've got is rated at 245 hp and 335 lb-ft. The RT is a hair more.

20-25 more hp but 25 less lb-ft of torque, and a lot less aftermarket support at this time.
