yes i stated the NEXT! well if you get the 4x4 mag Petersen's 4Wheel Drive & Off-Road you should look at page 22. on that page (for those that don't get it) it states the following:
"The trade journal Automotive News recently lifted the veil on Daimler-Chrysler's product plans for 2003-2006. Here's what to expect from Jeep and Dodge Truck...... The Dakota is slated for a redo for 2004. It's styling will borrow from the M80 and Powerbox concept trucks, and it may be smaller than the current pickup. The 5.7L Hemi V-8 may be offered as an option alongside the 3.7L V-6 and 4.7 V-8......A year after the Dakota revision, the Durango will be reworked as well. It's platform will still be the Dakota."
that last part was for you guys that like the Durango to. for those that have no clue what the M80 or the Powerbox looks like here's the address to Dodge's concept page with it.
the M80's address:

the Powerbox's address:

Yeah, fear of what they were gonna do to the Dak in 2004 is one of the reasons I went with the 2003 model. It'd be hard to visualize a cross between the m80 and power box. It'll be interesting, I'll give em that.

The good news (in this case I think) is that things usually get toned down for production. Should be interesting.

Change is good, everybody boohoo'd when the rams first came out with the new freightliner front ends, but most have grown to love them.
And when more power is thrown into the equation, who can argue?
