Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

[BNeal]

Just curious if anyone is considering a move to the new Dakota. Depending on what it looks like, I may be interested in checking it out. Would really love the extra garage space, and am no longer towing anything. However, I'm tall, and my 1500 fits me like a glove, so that will be a huge factor. Anyway, just interested in your comments.

Looks amazing hopefully its turn out looking pretty close to that. Nope fullsize truck for me but I’m sure this will attract some of the Colorado, Ranger, Tacoma owners.

I’ll believe it when I see it but I wouldn’t mind owning one.

I've gotten spoiled by the 1500 Laramie and Limiteds. The leather seats in my Durango aren't as comfortable, being downsized, the Big Horns aren't comfortable in cloth. I doubt the Dakota's will be comfortable.

If it comes with the Pentastar V6 I would love to talk my wife into getting one. That could be the winter vehicle since she insists on a 4x4 but does not drive in snow (go figure). I would dump the Ram and stick with cars.

I have been trying to get some actual information about it. Seems nobody really knows what is going on and when it will happen. The picture looks like they might be sourcing the cab from GM. Not a very original looking design.

Why wouldn't it be?
Just get a Dakota Limited?

I would get a Tacoma over a Dakota in a heartbeat.

personally no... after going full size i don't want to go back to a mid size truck.
Was working on a taco installing lift kit the other day and I felt cramped driving it into the service bay lol

Never felt that way before my 1500 but now... i'm spoiled

I’d consider it if they made a dakota trx. Also wtf are they doing pulling that grill on. Looks like it’s frowning.

That's just an artist rendering. Not an official Ram image.

I'd be interested depending on pricing and options. Give me a midsize Dakota with the Hurricane HO engine, RWD, and paddle shifters. Make it the new Dakota R/T

I think the official announcement is scheduled for 5/19. We should get some solid information then.

That does look like a squished Rebel grille on a Colorado.

It's because it's an artist rendering, or poor Photoshop. Nothing has been released by Ram yet

I knew that, I just didn't realize how much the rendering looked like a Colorado, until RC Turner mentioned the GM similarity.

I would definitely check ot out. I love my Rebel, but it's just too big to be a practical daily for me. A Dakoa Rebel could be worth looking into, but it will probably be too small and same price as a 1500.

I had a 02 Durango and felt it was the perfect size between midsize and full size.
All Midsize trucks I've been in feel like they are not feasible for anyone over 5'8". My brother just got a new Ranger and while it is nice, waaaay to claustrophobic for me at 6'0".

I also did a hunting trip once where I was stuck in the back of a Frontier.... what fresh hell that was. No thanks, I will hike and meet y'all later.

If someone made a midsize truck that 'Murican-sized folks could fit in (including in the back) I'd consider. 4 husky folks can fit in a modern Civic or Jetta, so I don't see why they're so stingy with the mid-size truck cabs.

"mid-sized truck cabs" vs "full-size" trucks...
You ever try to get into a Prius V before?

I feel like i'm too big for my 1500s seats sometime and I sit on the side parts that you are suppose to "fall" into the middle and i'm only around 200 lbs which is super close to the average weight of Americans.

I went from a '19 crew cab Frontier to my current Ram. I didn't realize how bad the back seat was till the kids complained enough and I sat back there without moving the driver's seat. I couldn't get my legs in and close the door. I'm 6'2". I first wanted a new Ram quad cab, untill I adjusted the driver's seat and sat in the back. The wife and I couldn't tell much difference from the Frontier. She got out and said you're getting a crew cab.

This looks to be more accurate of a depiction -

Yep, this is what the mules running around look like in spy photos. There is NO WAY I'd buy something this ugly.
