so i come to you guys with a heavy heart it looks like a 2011 ram maybe in my future. im gonna miss the little guy but with family and all the ext cab just isnt cutting it anymore. and to trade to a quad cab and pricing the way it is it almost makes sense to go into a full size i havent signed any papers yet. but have spent some time a the stealership.... and i only pay 100 bucks more than i do now on the dak im looking at the TRX if any one is curious....
i think im gonna cry when/if i let the little guy go

thats the sad thing with these trucks, your in full size territory as far as pricing goes. I think the sales and marketing people behind the Dakota all need to be fired cause they did it all wrong and just drove it into the ground. When's the last time you saw a commercial for a Dakota???

Yep, I went Dak quad cab this year to fit everyone in it. I did used though, and got a great sleeper deal. But I feel your pain. Need the room

Don't feel bad those new G4 Rams are sick. If I were to buy a Ram, that would be the Gen I would want.

Hey man at least you're staying in the Dodge family! Those new Rams are a killer truck too, I love my Dakota but if I was buying new and they were almost the same price I'd be looking at the Ram too.
