It was my understanding that the 5.7 IS coming to the Dakota and
Durango platforms, but only after the platforms themselves change.
The Dakota is supposedly getting redesigned into a "compact" truck
instead of a midsize (guess I'm never going to be able to buy a 'new'
truck again... the size now is perfect) and the Durango is supposed to
be getting larger (just what the world needs). I guess the deal is
that the Durango is going to be built on the 1/2 ton Ram chassis and
the Dakota chassis will be shrinking.
