The Dakota is a very conservative truck,with clear
distinctions between it's masculine persona,and the
feminism of the Fords. The Dodge Dakota is
domestically produced,which keeps jobs here,and is not
made in China. If they ever put Hemis in them,one
could install an MDS "on" LED.
President Bush,with his tax cuts,helped the 4.7L
thrive in what would have otherwise been an economic
quagmire. But the policy may be in jeopardy if McCain
gets in. Although McCain is not that socially
conservative,he would prevent the earmarks and
overspending that would endanger the future of the
Dakota line.
Thanks!
