from another website

There were just over 10,000 Dodge Ram Daytona made. They were available in Bright Silver Metallic and Go ManGo Orange in both Single and Quad Cab with 4x2 and 4x4 versions.
Proof that more than 10,000 were produced is I own #10731, which was born on July 28, 2005. This appears to be the last days of the 2005 production line and may in-fact be one of the last if not the last Daytona produced.

another site reads

Go ManGo!
2wd Reg Cab - 954
2wd Quad Cab - 1,061
4x4 Reg Cab - 1,260
4x4 Quad Cab - 1,768

Total Go ManGo! Daytona's - 5,043


Metallic Silver
2wd Reg Cab - 660
2wd Quad Cab - 1,110
4x4 Reg Cab - 627
4x4 Quad Cab - 1,258

Total Metallic Silver Daytona's - 3,655

Total Numbers of Daytona's - 8,698

i believe that they made them in 2005 & 2006
the 2005 production year back then was July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005
the 2006 production year was July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006

What color is the truck you are buying? If it is the Gomango than it almost has to be real since a full respray would cost a lot to have done.
If it silver its not hard to add decals. if it has the dash number and has the Daytona door panels then there is a good chance it is real, also check to see if it has the factory Borla exhaust still on it or if that has been changed.

Pictures of the interior and exterior would help a lot.

Its the go mango and the inside has all the daytona door trim and the daytona badge with the production number let me see if i cant post some pics later got to go back and download them from my phone i even saw where they had placed body plugs from where the wing was mounted to and yes i crawled under the truck and looked and saw the borla system is still in place and in very good shape :smileup::smileup::smileup:
