This past monday the 15th was the scheduled build date for my new ST Crew Cab. Some may wonder how I'm getting a Crew ST, as STs are extended cab only for 2011. This is a fleet vehichle so it also has cruise and the towing package that are also not available on STs. This mineral gray pickup is to replace my similar mineral gray 2006 Raider. The Raider was the successor to a 2001 Dakota SLT. I should have my new one early December & can hardly wait!!

 

Nice! Post some pics of the new baby when you get her !! Good luck!!!

 

wow....a brand new Dakota.....drool.....

 

Awesome!! To bad they haven't stuck the HEMI in it yet!!

 

I wonder if they ever will, and why they haven't yet? would be awesome

 

Yes it would be!

 

i thought they were discontinuing dakotas for the 2011 year

 

Congrats man, that is awesome.

Yeah, the talk is that 2011 will be the last year of the Dakota.

 

It really sucks that they are going to stop making the Dakota. That leaves the Frontier and Tacoma basically as decent midsize trucks, but I don't want to have to buy either or those. I like the newest 3rd gens, but still don't like the interior. I would have liked to see an upgrade in the interior and then I might buy a new one when I'm out of school.

 

it would be epic if they made like a limited edition for the last production year with the 6.1 hemi and a 6spd manual. i would gladly trade my soul for such a truck.
