I've really have missed my 2001 Dakota...it really was the perfect size and power for all my needs two decades ago.

I have been very happy with the dimension comparison of the Maverick vs. Dakota and will add the comparison dimensions if there is additional interest.

Short version...

There is about 10" less bed length on Mav, and it is 20" shorter overall than the Dakota. Engine output similar, but MaV will be ~600 pounds LIGHTER!

You'll notice the Dakota looks tall, but has less ground clearance than the MAV. The visual difference equates to body on frame vs unibody.

Cheers.

The old Dakota was a great truck. Unfortunately it is up in the air if Ram cancelled the Dakota return for 2022-23 but it would go midsize. They could bring the Ram 700 up from South America to go against Maverick and Hyundai.

My first car was an 87 Dakota! Got terrible gas mileage and had a tiny fuel tank :ROFLMAO:

looking forward to the hybrid :)
