1999 Dodge Dakota R/T Sport 2dr Standard Cab SB

1999 Dodge Dakota R/T 5.9 â?" Rare Shaker Hood, Rumble Bee Edition, 360 Magnum V8 Why This Car Is Special The 1999 Dodge Dakota R/T is one of the more interesting performance trucks to come out of the late 1990s, and this particular example takes it a step further with a rare shaker hood setup and a Rumble Bee Edition package â?" two features that put it in a category well above the standard R/T. To understand why this truck matters, a little context helps. Dodge introduced the Dakota R/T in 1998 as a direct response to the muscle truck movement that had gained serious momentum during that decade. The concept was straightforward: take the compact Dakota platform, drop in the 5.9L 360 Magnum V8 from the full-size Ram lineup, lower the suspension, add four-wheel disc brakes, and wrap it in sport-specific trim.
