Why couldn't this have been the next Dakota?

Has anyone actually put 7000lbs behind a dakota? I've put a little over 3k and while in tow/haul, the truck impressed me at how smooth and well it pulled, but I live in the mountains, and I can't see my Dak liking 7000lbs up some of the hills around here....

Oh and BTW JMHO that first pic is the ugliest truck I've ever seen in my life... lol

It reminds me of the Honda Ridgeline.

Sorry for the innappropriate language in this post.

You took the words right out of my mouth...

I dont mind the Durango Dude, that looks pretty pimp, but the Maxx and the Rampage are gay.

That max looks like a mini van with a bed... good thing that's getting tossed. Too bad about the rampage it has the headlights I love. Dodge is going down and they don't have the money to produce a good looking performance truck anymore.

Dakota, Ranger, Colorado, Canyon...they are all disappearing...I believe the frontier is on the way out as well...all we got left is tacos, and maybe some other import...say goodbye to mid-size body on frame pickups and say hello to the unibody (read el camino) truck...body on frame mid-size trucks are going the way of the station wagon I'm sorry to say...maybe they would resurrect the Comanche since Jeep seems to be doing well....

the Rampage has a bit of a Honda look to it.

I do like the Dude, would make a nice street truck!

Just another truck that looks like a car. Much like the dreadful Honda Ridgeline. It's either a truck or it some toy trendy looking thing.

I've always liked the Rampage concept...which is why it'll probably never get built.

The first one from the link? 1 word...ghey. Totally looks like they hacked the top off a Chrysler mini van.
