Check that out. It say's "The Dakota, new for '05, expands its lineup with four new high-performance models: TRX, TRX4 Off-Road, R/T, and Night Runner." Anyone know what those models are and if its true??

RE: 2006 Dakota
The TRX and TRX4 packages are both off-road packages. TRX being for 2wds and TRX4 for 4wds, it's available on the Ram as well. It's Dodge's answer to GM's Z71 packages and Ford's FX4 packages.

More to add to this thread:
Introduction
Although it faced off in the marketplace against the Ford Ranger and the Chevrolet S-10, the original Dodge Dakota stretched the definition of "compact pickup" to new dimensions. What Dodge's just-right-sized Durango is to the sport/utility-vehicle segment, the Dakota is to pickups, neatly bridging the size, performance, and capability gaps between compact and full-size trucks. The latest iteration, new for 2005, carries on that tradition, offering V-8 power and near-full-size towing and hauling ability in a more affordable, more frugal, and more manageable package.
For 2006, Dodge adds four new iterations to the Dakota lineup. The TRX and TRX4 Off-Road packages are offered in ST, SLT, and Laramie trim in either Club Cab or Quad Cab configuration. The TRX gives the 2WD Dakota a pre-runner treatment, with 16-inch wheels, painted monotube shocks, tow hooks, aggressive off-road tires, and TRX stickers. The TRX4 is the real deal, building on these items by adding a 4WD transfer case, anti-slip differential, more aggressive axle ratio, skid plates, heavy-duty cooling system, and a 750-amp battery.
Available in either cab style, the new Night Runner edition is a black truck with a blacked-out grille, black-chrome 17-inch wheels, and abundant street attitude. Offered on SLT trim, the Night Runner features embroidered headrest logos and black dash center stack. The color and name remind of the unsuccessful Toyota Tacoma S-Runner from a few years ago, with the key difference being an available V-8. Big power is at the heart of the R/T, which fits a 260-horsepower V-8 to either cab style to create a potent street machine. The exterior is coated in bright red, yellow, or black paint and then distinguished with hood scoop, chrome exhaust tips, 17-inch chrome wheels, and decals. The interior is dressed with specific R/T gauge faces.
