I do like the nose on that truck better than the durango's current one. Its not pug nosed. But no it will never see the light of day. Also the dak and durango are on two completely differant chassis.

DMC said they rnt gonna put a hemi in a dakota casue theyd have to move the control arms and all that sh*t but rnt the dakotas and durangos basically the same from the firewall forward

If I remember it right, the new Durangos do not share the same frame as the Dakota as they say the new Durango is physically wider and longer then the dakotas?

'05 Dak:
Overall Length: 218
Overall Width: 74 **
Overhang - Front: 38
overhang - Rear: 48
Track: 62 **
Wheelbase: 131
(Only one chassis for this Gen of the Dakotas)
'04+ Durango:
Overall Length: 200
Overall Width: 76 **
Overhang - Front: 37
overhang - Rear: 43
Track: 64 **
Wheelbase: 119
** Notice these measurements are on the width, if they can't get the Hemi in the Dak then that must be one tight fit in the Durango, they must use a shoe horn to squeeze those in. 2 inches is the difference between the two (so 1" on both sides of the engine).

Does anyone notice the idea similarity between the Durango pickup and the Chevy SSR? Personally, I'm not thrilled by the truck, but the engine is something else !
If this truck represents available parts mods for my RAm though,[sm=smiley20.gif]

That's exactly what struck me first. GM is supposed to be going with the 6.1L LS whatever GM POOPY engine in the SSR next year. It still won't perform with the SRT-10 though.

It would be hard to conceive that DC would make another truck that would compete directly with the SRT-10. That's why we haven't seen performance parts for the Hemi I believe.

Take the twin turbos off so i wont compete with the srt-10 and name it the dakota r/t.
Thats what i think DCX should do and dont mess it up by making any ex or quad cab r/ts.
