SRT Dakota?
I have always wanted a 2nd gen Dakota R/T, they are my favorite truck of all time. Although, now that the SRT division is doing cool stuff I was wondering if there is any rumor of a hemi powered dakota coming out the door? I figured you guys would know, and I did a search and didnt see any previous mention really.

RE: SRT Dakota?
I dont think they will make a srt 8 dak. so far they only have the r/t version wich is a 4.7. another thing that sucks is the hemi wont fit in the dakota belive me ive tried and asked to get one specially ordered but no luck. best you can get so far is the 4.7 wich isnt so bad but the r/t is crappy. its stock suspension the real main diffrence is its an xtended cab not quad cab. the 05's with a v8 only come in quad cab so far. a v6 is the xtended cab unless specially ordered, then u can get the v8 xtended cab.

RE: SRT Dakota?
your probably right but all the dodge dealerships i went to didnt have any of the 3.7 quadcabs. it seems to me that would not be a very good selling truck because its underpowerd for a larger truck.

I remember reading a rumor back a few months ago saying the Durango and Dakota were next for the SRT treatment once they were done with the Charger SRT-8, though that means even if it is true it's probably a good year before we would see one for sale.

I don't really think, they will drop a SRT Dakota.
I mean the 2gen R/T s where one of a kind !
But a nice try has been the "Dodge Dude" concept truck (even its a Durango Pick up, but it looks real hot !!)
............imagin a mid size truck (looks like a Dak) powered by a 5.7L Hemi [sm=gears.gif]
I would love it

If the hemi won't fit on the 3rd gen daks, the engine bay must have shrunked! If they can cram a 5.9 on the 2nd gen Daks, they should be able to fit a 5.7. The hemi has bigger, wider heads, but still it should fit. Dodge probably just do not make the parts to fit a hemi at this time.
I do remember from what redrider bob said that a SRT dak and/or durango is indeed in the works.
