I would imagine it would look real close to the 2004 Durango.

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.

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.


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.

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

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 neon has an R/T this year!


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
