Angry No more dakotas

so i was talking to my dad who is a chrysler jeep and dodge dealer, and he told me that Dodge has announced Dakotas will be phased out by 2011. So that sucks

Was just going to post a thread about this actually. Just read about this here.

What does this mean for us? Are we screwed for parts and services, or will our trucks now be antiques!?

Ram considering new mid-size unibody pickup to replace Dakota - http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/04/r...eplace-dakota/


What does "unibody" mean anyway.

That's not a truck. That's a Ridgeline looking thing or a clown face toy. Is that a wind up key sticking out the ***? The only thing that might improve may be quality as it can only go up from mine. I always knew the 2010 was to be it for the Dak and if an 11 makes it that would be a surprise. They would be just getting rid of stock by then. Chrysler has no worthy family line up that people want in numbers. I don’t see it surviving. I have been right over the years so far on their plight.

You don't sound like a very happy Dakota owner.

Looks like a car/truck, like a newer version of El Camenos or Rancheros

Your trucks wont be antiques for a good while, mine on the other hand will be what the govornment consider antique for a vehicle in 2012 because they think vehicles 25 years or older are antique
