After you've driven a Gen-IV Dak...the HO 4.7L better be quicker than the
standard Gen-II 4.7L, they're slower than the Gen-III Dak's with the 4.7L
and not a big improvement (as claimed) witht eh interior.

Dakota engine choices and performance grows

You could have had a powerful V-8 in the old Dodge Dakota, but now you have
a choice of two in the new one.

Even before the all-new Dodge Dakota went on sale last month, it already was
the only pickup truck in its segment that came standard with a V-6 engine.
The Dakota also was the only pickup in its class to offer a V-8.

The 3.7-liter Magnum(r) V-6 will remain the standard power plant in the
all-new 2005 Dakota, and the 4.7-liter Magnum V-8 will be joined by a High
Output Magnum version. All three engine offerings will be quieter, more
powerful and more fuel efficient than the previous model year's engines.

The all-new 2005 Dodge Dakota stands alone as the largest, most powerful and
most capable mid-size pickup in the market. With best-in-class torque,
horsepower and maximum towing, the new Dakota delivers full-size pickup
styling, feel and power.
