My Dakota doesnt have much of a box. Taking it to a baseball game is tight because I normally end up having to decie what I dont really need to take.

Now my old Chevy 1500 with an 8ft bed; that was nice.

As for Ford, I would buy one. If they offered their $9k in incentives on the Raptor, that bad boy would be mine. Lol.

F*** all that ill just buy new body parts for mine and keep driving it. there is always going to be parts somewhere some how im sure. and if that fails ill just go buy the Mis verson of it. its called the raptor. and its exactly the same. kinda like the mazda and the ranger with ford. and that ford truck is just a honda ridge line with so light mods. ford as always been the company that says "if you cant beat them buy them" and there 1/2 and up trucks are all made by Mercedes so of course there going to me good trucks. i mean come on look at the uni mog. the mercedes made in the 1970 its a tank has 44" of sepention travel per wheel and can pull a house over in super low range but top speed in 4x4 high is 90 mph. and still get 28mpg and its only a 4 cylinder WTF!!

yes there now owned bby dodge but mercades sold design ideas out to ford in the 1980 the same way that volvo did with ford in the 1990s and after looking at it yes it looks like the ridgeline i couldnt tell you for sure untell im underone but im sure its full independent front end with coil over shocks and upper and lower control arms and a spindle styling simler to the ridge line. it may be a ranger frame and short like the old sport trac. the picture here dont do it justice it actually looks like the 500 wagon jacked up and a box well if you can call it a box stuffed on the a** of it. either way you wont see me owning one.

All I know is, I'll be cruising in my Dakota for a long time. And I will certainly be right here, in the 3rd Gen section.
