Default Sport Package Availability

Hello, new member here. Back in 2003 I was looking for a new Dodge 1500 with the sport package and I wanted it all black. I called a dealer and he said let me see what I can find. He called back half an hour later and had 4 of them for me to choose from. Couldnt of been easier. Well my family had a couple kids a few years later and gas prices went up so we traded in the truck for a minivan. Now we want a truck again and I would love to have the all black 1500 again with sport package but trouble is I cannot find any. I have a friend who works at a dealership and she says those are custom made trucks so there are not many around. She isnt a salesperson though so I dont know how accurate that is. Any suggestions?

I guess if you really want it just search on Autotrader. I just searched with no distance and found 6 on the first page. Fly in and pick it up. I know I would if I couldn't find what I wanted.

Wow, all black...tough keepin that clean! :-)

Sport is simply a apackage with painted grill and bumpers. Also the Sport package has Captain chairs available as well where as you can't get them in the SLT trim. At least not in '08

If you want a new truck with the sport trim try and find one right when that years model first comes out. Sports go pretty fast from what I hear. I got mine at the beginning of last summer right before the 09's started coming out. The closest one that had all of the options I wanted (minus the captains chairs) was in Tenessee. 500+ miles from me! I had it driven down to Texas and snatched it up and have been in love ever since. haha.

Completely different for me. I looked at 8 trucks before I bought mine. 6 out of the 8 were sport models and that is just what I looked at. There were a bunch of others, just colors that I didn't want or other little things I didn't like.

You are so right! I have had alot of vehicles and this is my first all black and what a chore. I have to wash it at least twice a week if I want it to look at all clean.



But on the other hand I didnt have any issue finding my all black 1500 with the sport package. There were actualy quite a few sports up here in the northwest when I was shopping a couple months back.
