A rare 1999 Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T Club Cab is currently up for auction on BringATrailer.com, with the auction closing on Saturday, September 21, at 2:08 p.m. EDT. This particular model is one of only 127 R/T Club Cab trucks finished in Flame Red (PR4) and originally sold new in Canada. It has since been imported to the U.S., repainted, and now shows 67,000 miles.
Engine and Performance –
The Dakota R/T is powered by a 5.9-liter (360 cubic-inch) Magnum V8 engine, which produces 250 horsepower and 345 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential with 3.92:1 gearing. The truck has been modified with a Flowmaster muffler and the catalytic converter has been removed, enhancing its exhaust note and performance.
Exterior and Modifications –
Originally finished in Flame Red, the truck has undergone a repaint and features several updates including LED headlights, fog lights, billet grille inserts, and window tint film. It also has a sliding rear window, a TrailFX drop-in bedliner, and an Extang Trifecta 2.0 tonneau cover. The seller notes that a paint correction and ceramic coating were applied recently to maintain the truck’s appearance.
The Dakota R/T rides on 17-inch split-spoke cast aluminum wheels fitted with 255/60 Toyo Open Country Q/T tires from 2021. It features a sport suspension that lowers the ride height compared to the standard Dakota, contributing to its sporty handling.
Interior Features –
Inside, the Dakota R/T features Dark Slate Gray cloth upholstery on the front bucket seats and a folding rear bench. The interior is equipped with air conditioning, cruise control, and a CD/Cassette stereo. The center console lid shows some wear, but overall the cabin is well-preserved. The leather-wrapped steering wheel faces a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and additional gauges for coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 67,000 miles, with approximately 2,000 miles added under the current ownership.
Condition and Documentation –
The truck features front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, and while some corrosion is noted on the underside, the Carfax report shows no accidents or significant damage. The sale includes the original manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Ohio title.
This 1999 Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T Club Cab is a notable example of a rare and desirable performance truck.
