Do you guys think that the 2009 rams will have a similar appearance like that of the new 2008 Dakota (same style but bigger)?

2008 Dakota: http://www.leftlanenews.com/2008-dod...-revealed.html

 

the 1500(pictured there) will be a different style then the 2500/3500's

no info yet on the 2500/3500's

 

Do you guy's think we'll ever see a real crew cab or just the mega. Drove an F350 last night

 

I hope not, I think the Dakotas are BUTT ULGY!

 

Not with those wheels hopefully

 

I got me mine, they can screw up the new ones all they want.

 

Is that what the Megacab would be considered?

 

2 years down the road and still no real cab. I agree ashnbak.

 

Are you guy's referring to the interior being superior in the Ford? If so, Dodge could do it easily enough but would you be willing to pay 10k more?

 

Well said. I consider my mega cab to be inferior to a ferd!!!

 

Isn't the exhaust pipe kinda small in those pics!?

 

Is it just me or does that 2nd pic look more like a Cheby?

So the 1500's are going to get a V8 Cummins motor? I guess the 2500/3500's won't be too far behind then. Sure glad I got a 5.9!

 

why go to a v8 whrn you could use the 4 banger version of the 5.9
I always wanted a hlf ton with a 4 cyl cummins 30mpg baby

 

the dakotas are ugly, I was lucky to have my 97 i still have it even though i have my Mega Cab, and as far as the Ford Vs. Dodge cabs? I like having my extra foot of room, and have you road in a ford for a long haul? ow...my back hurts...that would make me file a workers comp claim against who evers truck it was..oh yea the ford rides rough...so it doesnt help the interior. sure it looks good if its the King Ranch.

But my Laramie is the perfect look and feel. To be honest the Dodge interior is first, the Chevy second and the Ford last...thats just me, I dont see my self following everyones opinion.

Now for a V8 Cummins....why...the 6 cyl is more than plenty in these trucks. also the 4 banger cummins would make a great addition to the Dakota, they were rumors of it being in this body style but maybe the next...hopefully.

The Dakota needs some more refinement than what it has the Toyota Taco, and the Nissan Frontier are the fore-runners in the mid size truck segment. I dont see the Big Three catching up with Toyota and Nissan...

 

I second that comment.



Ya that is a bit strange. One of Cummins selling points is that the inline 6 has 30% fewer moving parts then a V8 platform. Does Cummins still make a inline 4 banger (3.9L) for a passenger vehicle or do they just make them for construction and ag equipment?
