dakotas faster!!! . i have outran several with the 360 and the "hemi" 2 and 4wd. i would have to say ram is bigger though, hence the outrunning with my dakota. i have never been that much of a fan of rams though.

The first two generations of Dakotas were built on the Dodge Diplomat platform and, I think, far superior to the last 2 generations of Dakotas (although I think the last 2 Dakotas were alot better looking than the rolling brick original). The Dakota is now a 3/4 version of the Ram. I love the look, but think it doesn't make sense anymore. Sorry Dak owners, just my opinion.

I love my 2nd gen. Sure mine is one of the heavier ones out there but it still is a lot lighter than most rams and since i have the 5 speed, I'm able to control it better if i do decide to run on one.
I would say the Ram is bigger hence its the fullsize pick up but depending i think the ram is faster but never found out but its definately better than a dak but daks still look sweet and an srt-10 would own all
who knows. its kinda a retarded question in the first place, i mean its obvious (to me at least) that each truck is for different purposes and reasons. Shouldn't take Einstein to figure out what those are...
ok, I will speak in generalities to try and make this question not seem so biased towards the ram...(bigger, really?)
the base V8 in the Ram and Dak are 4.7L non HO.
Both have a 3.7L V6.
The Ram has the hemi and the CTD, as it should. it is a great Full size platform.
the recent generation of Dakota admittedly is the slowest and least favored by the aftermarket. While the 3rd generation of Ram was the highest for the ram.
But honestly... this isnt even a question that can be humored without a biased opinion one way or another. If you dont vote for the Ram to be dodges best truck, your either blind or biased... (again, generalities) I will not go through and do a point, counter point. I dont see a need for it
RAM! Vs. dakota...
