It is my understanding that Dodge will offer a 4 door Dakota in 1999
or 2000. I got some e-mail on the web page from someone who worked at the
Chrysler proving grounds:

Also, David Sterling posted the following to the DML a while ago:

I had the pleasure of having supper with a gentleman who works
on the Dakota line at Dodge City (Warren, Michigan) this evening.
He told me a couple of things I thought I would share with the list.
About mid 1999 they will start building a Dakota QuadCab
4-door. Possibly with 5.9l power without the R/T package. It
will be a 2000 model. I don't know if the wheelbase will be
extended. There is also the possibility of a new modular V8.
Couldn't get much more out of him. Either he doesn't know or is
not talking.
For those of you planning big families and love Dakota Trucks...
This is for you.

So, it looks like its gonna happen. :-)
