If the next gen dak (2005?) is supposed to look like the
next gen Durango, go and let your imagination work.

That really look bad in my opinion. I agree with you though, the concept looks much better than the actual product. I'm sure most owners of the current style Durango will be glad they got theirs when they did!

I have been occasionally following the spy photos and officially released DC pics of where the Dakota/Durango platform is heading and find myself just as dissapointed now as I was when the Rango RT pics first came out.
FRONT-Dodge Caravan, SIDE-Mitsu Montero, REAR-Chevy Trail Blazer.
The R/T concept is almost bearable, but not really. I am still hoping the new Daks don't share the same front clip like years past and they go a little different direction with it since it is still a truck and not a sporty minivan/station wagon like the new Durango will be.
Too many station wagons are crossing over to the SUV'ish market and the trend is catching on with the real SUV's in both design and appearance with low slung rockers for ease of entry for grandma and the kids along with cab forward design for that nice big Aerostar winshield and dash, LOL.
Flowmaster cat back, Volant Intake, Poweraid TB Spacer, Splitfire Plugs, full synthetic fluids
4 inch Rancho/3 inch body Lift, 315 70-17 on AE 219's, Rancho 9000x's
Grizzly double/single rollbar with (6)Hella's, Manik Nerfs/Tailight Guards, Line-X, Hard Work & $$$$$$$$$$

At least it looks better than the M-80 concept. That thing was horrible. Besides the new durango/dakota's are supposed to have hydroformed frames making them something like 500lbs lighter. I think I read that on allpar.com.

Well, to be honest, I wouldnt wont that front end on my dak but I think it would be a big improvement on the Durango. Never really thought the Durango looked right as it is now!
Just my 2cents!
