Default Thread just for 2005 Ram Daytona Trucks ?

I'm new to this site and to the Daytona trucks. I don't see a thread just for them, but is there ?
I'm hooked on these particular truck. I have a orange 2000 Quad Cab that a Lady hit me in the back at 35 mph. It actually split the bottom of both frame rails all across, so my baby is trash. The hitch is 3" off the ground.

Thanks,
Kevin

2000? Shouldn't that be 2005??

We don't have a specific thread for any particular sub-model. If you have questions/problems, just post a new thread, and the folks here will do their best to help you out.

Are you thinking about fixing your truck? Can you post pics of the damage? (from your description, sounds like time for a new frame....... not inexpensive.)

He neglected to mention the orange truck was a Dakota lol.....he WANTS a Daytona to replace it. I'm actually surprised he hasn't mentioned his Cobra kit car with the 428 lol.

No, as I wrote mine is a (orange) 2000, but I'm talking about wanting a orange
2005 ''Daytona''.

No, the frame being split all across is too dangerous. My insurance company totaled it. I'm a retired auto body man, so I thought about paying a shop to put it on their frame table to straighten the rails then weld plates onto them, but it's expensive. If I went that far I'd want to fix the rust and repaint it. It only has 82000 miles

There's one for sale in Toledo..... (Ohio)..... But, that's the only one that comes up in a casual search. It's even the right color.
