That's not the new Ram Dakota.

The new Ram Dakota pickup just got revealed/released for the South American market in this design:

https://www.dakotaforums.com/forum/threads/2027-ram-dakota-pickup-revealed.24096/

The US and Canada are getting the new Ram Dakota too, but with different design. That's what was just revealed behind closed doors to dealers.
Agree to disagree
It's the same truck as the Changan Hunter, made in China, nothing new in the all new 2027 dodge Dakota for the American market

It’s undoubtedly a Ranger competitor.
Looks like they copied the Honda Ridgeline.
It’s pretty freakin obvious doncha think !

The Dakota (Hunter) south of the states sits along side Tacomas, D-Max, and Ranger. The one that comes closer in size is the Rampage (2024- version). I looked at all my choices and shipped a Mav on a boat because there was nothing like the Maverick. It’s very possible that Stellantis will invest into Making a small pickup for the US, but it will take more than just a good looking outer shell.
