Not really, I do hate the new front end look though. I'm more pissed that Dodge waited so freaking long to make the 4.7 what it should have been to begin with. Personally I think they kept it making less power than they easily could have had it at to make sure it wouldn't compete with the Hemi at all. I plan to fix it though, just need a lot of money and a decent bit of time.

Stick a Damn 6.1 or 5.7 in a dakota SINGLE CAB, but some brembo race brakes on it, 18-20in SRT Wheels, drop in 2in all around, and put it into production..

it will sell...

They're far too lazy to make a single cab 3rd gen. We're lucky we got two cab styles. I just ripped my rear seats out and turned mine into a 'single' cab with extra storage.

I actually like the front of the newer ones better than the old 3rd gens.

And that truck would be too sweet for Dodge to make. If we think its awesome that probably means it will never happen. Do they even know what a single cab is any more? I perfer the look of the single cab, but I needed some place to put my stuff going to school so I had to go with the ex. cab.

agreed.

Dakota SRT-8 has a good ring to it. But Dakota SRT-10 sounds better

i just wish that they would grow a set and bring back something to take on the Colorado V8 (SS basically)...

5.7 would be awesome tho and that rendering that user did looks tight!
