Hey now... you'll all love this truck when you see it.
It'll be a couple month's until i sell my Ranger, because the Dakota has to come from California.
Then once it's here I'm gonna go check it out and most likely buy it.
Hopefully my Ranger will last until then, cause that things ready to blow.

I have a Dodge and I am still here. Albeit I am not as active as I once was, but I like it here.

I almost bought a similar truck when I got my current Ranger. I love those trucks, but I dint love the headaches that go with owning a Dodge. Definitely post pics. That generation Dakota lifted is a nice looking truck, at least.

I don't know why people leave a forum just because they don't have the vehicle anymore. If you like the community, no reason not to still stop by now and then.

I'd trade my Ranger in a half second for a Dakota...

When is Ford going to improve our trucks ? I'd kill to have a crew cab Ranger, I wanted an extended cab but my son is too big to ride comfortably in a rear sideways seat...

Then you obviously haven't been around one. I work around these things almost daily and why anyone would want to own a Chrysler product is beyond me.
