Gross. First the new Durango got infected with uglyosis. Now the Dakota has the disease too

 

Looks good on a Dakota not on the Durango...wish it came in R/T version though

 

Note it said "some" models will be priced under $20k. I doubt you'll get into a V8 version for that little. The styling is toned down and refined compared to the odd shapes and buldges on the Durango but I think I still prefer the Colorado.

 

OMG!!! WE AGREE TOTALLY ON SOMETHING!!!

 

looks rather handsom. what's the output of that V8 they're talking about? still 215hp or what?

 

Yea, another truck.

 

Looks better than the Durango but I still wouldn't call it attractive. I wouldn't bet the farm on the V8 model pricing in the low end of the range and I didn't see any mention of a 6 speed in the article.

 

It just says the Dokota will start under $20K, not it will have a V8 and be under $20K

under $20K gets you steal rims, reg cab, and a V6

 

Agree with above...

 

Dodge can't figure it out and I can't figure PEOPLE out for buying those ugly things.

 

At least the top V8 option will be a HEMI!

 

:blah:

 

Nope, it will be a H.O. 4.7L SOHC V8

 

The base 4.7 will be rated at 230 hp and 290 ft/lbs and be available with a Getrag six speed manual or 5 speed auto.

There will be a 4.7 HO rated at 250+ hp and 300+ft/lbs. The HO will only be available with automatic.

A 210 hp 3.7 V6 is standard.
