For our FCA Historians out there, I got one for you:

Was thinking on my way home from work this morning: Why didn't Dodge put a Hemi in the Dakota? The Durango got one, why not the truck?

I saw the article about why Jeeps don't have hemi's, with it being explained to be a crash test problem. More just out of curiosity than anything.

 

They were not going to invest in any more R&D for the Dakota. The writing was on the wall.

 

And today we have small trucks making a comeback.

 

Dodge wanted you to buy the full size Ram to get the Hemi, it's all about the money.

And full size truck sales...
