I would not purchase a 2500 model but opt for the 1500 in January when the
hemi will be an option for the RC or Quad version.
The Dakota and the Ram are almost the same length. Now with the onslaught
with Chevy and Ford to compete in the same arena, I can understand the
reasoning of Dodge to move down the product and to create a new market
again. Remember, there is a smaller truck that will compete in the compact
size from Dodge in 2005.

Honestly - I am in favor of Dakota becoming larger. At the very least
they need to keep it the same size. I know the reason Dakota has been
successful is because of its "in the middle" size. Bigger than the
compacts, smaller than a full size. But I need and want a bigger truck.
If Dakota is not redesigned right, I might get a Ram 2500. (Won't buy
another truck with an IFS) I may consider another brand of full size
truck. (A 2500 with a 5.7 Hemi is probably going to keep me in the
Dodge corner heh.)
I will wait and see...
