and whats this la west nonsense??
There are special packages only offered in certain dealer zones. Apparently, the GTX is one of these - which makes sense since I never heard of it!

Ok...on Pickuptruck.com...the top of the screen says 2006 model year...the rest of the article says 2005...which one is it? I'd assume a 2005 since it looks like the current model, when it's suppose to be refreshened for the 2006 model year.
It's a 2005 1/2. I'm guessing the 2006 refresh and/or the Mega cab will be revealed at the Chicago show, based on the pickup.com article.

What I'd like to see on these Dodge rams are fender Skirts. I had a 89 Ford Super cab long bed and it was lowered a little. When I got a set of Fender skirts put on the truck my gas mileage went up about three mpg. Not bad for a tank. So what's Dodge waiting for.The fin on the back, a fancy hood ,and fender Skirts.

"Included in the Daytona package will be the 5.7-liter Hemi engine, 5-speed automatic transmission and 3.92:1 rear axle ratio."
I think Dodge needs to get with it a little. Use the 6.1 in this. They already have the 5.7 in most trucks as it is. Thats one of the things I don't like about the Rumble Bee, pretty much the same equipment as you can get on a regular Ram. If their gonna make a "special" Ram, than make it special already. At least they could up the power on the 5.7 if they use it.
I mean, I like the look of the truck, but do a little more with it than glue some sticker on it, change the paint, put a spoiler on it, and call it "special." (Hmm.. oddly reminds me of what ricers do)

I went to the Auto Show today and nobody even gave it a second look. It was just a tacky plastic add on package. More abuse of good names.

I gave it a second look. I agree though that there should be some improvememnts to the engine. The original Rumble Bee was special. It was a 5.7L HEMI but it had 500HP with after market upgrades. Which the upgrades you could add yourself would be cheaper than the final Rumble Bee released by Dodge.
