    Default New R/T Owner from Sacramento, CA

    Not sure how it happened, but I purchased a stock 2001 R/T. Looking for good information to make the truck a better daily driver.

    Welcome.. What are your concerns with daily driving. Would probably depend on the condition of the truck. It's 18 years old. Proper maintenance. Good tires, better breathing and exhaust, proper tune will help get better gas mileage.

    Spray in bed liner and exhaust is seen.

    Rare to fine one bone stock. Looks clean!

    Start hitting up the local yards. You may get lucky and find something.
