Hmm!

First, it is not going to be heavier, Crit. Their goal, like the Viper is
to shave weight. You will find more Hydro foaming in the frame section and
allot more aluminum metal usage.

Second, take a look at the Power Wagon, it is going to be the next Dakota
look. Going from the main stream box style to retro look.

Third, I would opt for the bigger engine then find some one who wanted test
the new HEMI CHARGER unit.

Okay, so it's got the rims and most likely the 353 Hemi, but the thing is a
good bit larger, likely heavier, and FUGLY!! Whoever buys the first one on
the
list, make sure you take a BIG paper bag with you (you can cut out holes for
the cool, big wheels).

Rims scoop: I found that from an insider that the 2003 will come with 17
(standard), 19 (R/T), and maybe 20". I hoping for the bigger rims for
broader aggressive stance.
