Dodge Ute?

Who here thinks that Dodge should make a Ute off of the LX chassis? Could be really unique.

Re: Dodge Ute?

It would have to be something like the Cadillac SRX, which is based on a CTS. It could work for them, but they already have the Pacifica and now the Caliber.

Re: Dodge Ute?

I think the Pacifica replacement will be LX based.

I thought there was rumors of there being Imperial based on the Pacifica?

Dunno... Is there that much room between the Magnum and Durango?

I think the next Pacifica will be built along side the Challanger.

Re: Dodge Ute?

Um...I think that he met Ute as in the Holden Ute Pick up. Not sport ute.
Hrm...they could I guess? Already has the big **** Ram grill....Hemi...RWD. They have tons of capacity as is, but a 4dr Magnum Cruck? Magnum is already certified to be a truck, and this would boost sales. It has AWD option. Im sure that there is a drawing inside DCX that has that...

I sent an idea along those lines almost a year ago.

Never heard anything back, though.

D*mn.

Maybe if sales of the current LXs start to decline, or they decide to use another plant.

Re: Dodge Ute?

As in Ute, you mean something like the Holden "El Camino" right? If so, yes.

The Pacifica replacement may be on a new platform. The company I work for is working on wheelbearings for the replacement, and it's a "CT" program, not LX
