RE: 2008 DODGE DAKOTA PIC
glad they focused their attention on the front end, i think its a nice improvement. perhaps my opinion is a bit swayed since i own an 05 and the new body style has grown on me a lot, but id pimp it. subtle but effective.
edit: after seeing some more pics i would like to retract my previous statement. i would NOT pimp it, id slap it
nice to see they beefed up the motor a bit tho.

it looks good all around except the front end. the rest of the truck only has minor, if any changes, that i can notice, but the front end looks too much like a honda ridgeline front end in my opinion. it still looks ok, and it will probably grow on me, but i prefer the style they are making right now.

what if they sized down and tweaked a little bit and put the ram front end on it, i think it would look cooler, but tweaked to say hey i aint a ram im a freaking dakota lol

pretty good read and the engine sounds good. only thing that could make me happier is if they had done this sooner so my ram would have had this power. if they offer this in the rams i think it will finally make the 4.7 a reasonable choice for towing, hauling, and just general work use, where the hemi isnt needed or just for people that didnt get a hemi or couldnt afford a hemi. i mean , sure its not a hemi, but 290 hp and 320 ft-lbs of torque aint too shabby either. makes me wonder what kind of power they could make out of the hemi with just small changes like this. yall think the hemi engine would hold up to compression ratiosof like 12:1 or 13:1? if it could, i think itd make a good bit more power, maybe closer to what the new tundras are making, and put dodge back on top of the hp wars.
