The M80 comes in two parts: R/C and quad. The Quad is called the M81.
The niche for midsize truck is diminishing with the next release GEN IV
model.

<snipped from Steven's post> If you compared the new Ram and 03 Dakota, tell
me the difference in the wheelbase? <unsnip>
That's what was provided... We all know the Durango is getting a stretch
job, and the Dak's future is kinda twisting in the wind. They aren't going
to run it on the Durango frame (too close to the Ram), and the M80 was green
lighted, so the future of the true mid-sized Dakota is uncertain from what I
can see...

The wheelbase of the new Durango is not based on the Dakota.
Yet, I do see the magical number of ten inches from the Dakota.
Duh.....shorten the bumper....an whalla - 10 inches.

Now add 10" to the Dako (since that's the amount they strestcheedd the
platform for the Durango). That difference just evaporated.
