bet it wont have a V8....i like the agressive looking Durango front end, but from there back its all Honda Ridgeline, definitely NOT a truck. BUT, what it they came out with an R/T version, with a hemi.....would we be persuaded then??

i ddo agree i like the front aggressive look but thats about it. if you scroll to the bottom they compare it with a mini van...ewww hahah and i agree i doubt there will be a V8 in it but if there will be it reminds me of a beefy dodge caliber with the back cut off.. I dont no why

Looks like a Durango humped a subaru and this happened. I will have to see it in person and drive it.

I don't know, but it looks like it's designed to be competition for the Ridgeline. If they make an SRT version with a 6.4L I would give it a good test drive

this pic has gotta be a concept that isnt going to be manufactured i hope..wtf was chrysler thinking on this one? it might look half decent if that rear was cut straight down the bed was extended by a foot and a 6" lift kit was added, but thats being generous. i thought the dakota was going to stop being made after 2011 and to be honest i think id rather see that
