And the gen IV/V models are even bigger, which just makes THE problem even
worse. Combine the size overlap with the price overlap without the power
overlap, and do we really need to ask why the Daks are just sitting on
lots? I'm guessing that most people looking for smaller size trucks are
ending up with Rangers. Even Tacomas are too big to be called "compact."

It looks to me like Dodge is planning to have the Ram Express available at
the entry level to appeal to people who would have been looking at Dakotas
10 years ago. Too bad it only comes in a regular cab, short bed
configuration.
