Has anyone seen pictures of the 05 dakota. I know they're restyling it but have yet to see pictures of it.<edited><editID>Spyder</editID><editDate>37957.6418055556</editDate></edited>

Nope, havent seen any, but the DAK could use some changing <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

I would imagine it would look real close to the 2004 Durango. </P>


</P>

yeah I've seen pics but the vynal coverings are on it. looks like the same head lights on the durango. i'll try to find the pics.

here check ou this link:</P>

hope they dont change the name

The Dak would look kinda weird if it had the front of the durango...

really hard to say from those pictures, but I still say that its going to share the same look as the new darango.. only because they share alot of the same components... platform.. etc etc Basically.. when the darango came out It looked like someone threw a couple extra seats in the back of a dakota, and put a cap on it.. from a full on frontal view it was almost impossible to tell them apart. </P>


</P>

yeah no kidding, I kinda like the new durangos, it'll grow on me, the thing that I like the best about the Durangos though is a HEMI, oh yeah very nice.</P>


I agree I hope they don't change the name of the Dakotas cuz Dak is a great short name for it. I don't like what chevy did, granite the size change but s10 to Colorado, why no s20? I don't know.</P>

i hope that they will give the hemi option in the new daks also.

thats what the dakota r/t's should get is the hemi.

Im sure they will.. I just wonder if they will stick with the R/T name or switch everything over to the SRT name. </P>


</P>

I don't know, there is absolutly no reason for them not to put the Hemi in the new Daks. I am going to be extremely mad if they don't put the Hemi in there, it weighs less than the 5.9 costs less to make than the 4.7 so why wouldn't they, stiffen up the frame if they aren't going to use the new Durangos frame and it'll be good go. I could care less wether it's a r/t or srt, a SRT badge would probably make the truck cost more, but has a sweet ring to it.

the "R/T" name is dead....for all models now.

and the Hemi wont be in the Dak....at least not right away!

The neon has an R/T this year! </P>


plus that'd be really dumb of dodge not to put the Hemi in the Dak right away, they took the R/T away this year, could've put the 4.7L HO that's in the JEEP Grand Cherokees, and would've been better than the R/T with the 5.9L</P>

they should make a after market hemi R/T engine for the dakota </P>


</P>


then it would be 2 fast <IMG src=smileys/smiley36.gif border="0"><IMG style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley36.gif'" alt=LOL src=smileys/smiley36.gif border="0"><IMG src=smileys/smiley36.gif border="0"><IMG src=smileys/smiley36.gif border="0"><IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

i was just at the dealer looking at trading my pt in for a 04 dakota quad cab and i ask the dealer man when that dakota was getting the hemi and he said they were redesigning the dakota this spring to drop a hemi in it and it will be out for 05 so i told him ill be back next spring so i went home a called my uncle that works a the chrysler building and was joking with him about it and he said off the record it will be out sooner then 05 he also said that there might be a chance that the dakota sidewinder will be hereto

No prob with the pics. I got a newer spy pic i can post.</P>


The GEN 4 Dakota will debut as a 2005 model in September 2004.</P>


The Hemi still isn't for sure, tho it might come out as an R/T model. And if it doesn't, then we'll have to wait a whole other year for the Hemi SRT-8 model.</P>

nope the hemi is coming in 2005

Thanks for all your replies. I was under the impression that the 2005 Dakota will be shown to the public in the NAIAS. I guess I was wrong<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">. Oh well. I just have to wait a little longer to see the fully clothed Dakota.</P>


Thanks again everyone.</P>

I also have heard that the Hemi is totally for sure for the Dakota. :) How awesome is that gonna be?! <IMG style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley36.gif'" alt=LOL src=smileys/smiley36.gif border="0">
