Ram "IS" Bringing Back The Dakota Mid Size | Jeep Patents In Vehicle Drone For Spotting

[@KevinEdge81]

I agree with you!! No unibody Ram please. The body on frame midsize market is huge and Ram could certainly jump in and make an impact with a cool Ram Dakota! It’d be neat to see them compete with the Tacoma TRD off-road and offer a Dakota Warlock! Or even offer a top of line Dakota Rebel!! And compete with GM too Dakota Warlock vs Colorado Trail boss Or Dakota Rebel vs Colorado ZR2

[@Jason-Samko]

@@KevinEdge81 i like the way you are thinking!!!

[@buzzboykin9982]

I wish they would bring back a modern version of the small W50 four wheel drive truck I had decades ago. Great little truck.

[@seanmcelroy4764]

I have a 2000 Dakota 3.9 v6 still going strong 206.000 miles California west Coast no rust

[@F85M]

Twinz! I don’t even drive our new cars. It’s the ultimate sleeper in the Bay. Bippers don’t bat an eye 👁️ for an old Dakota 😂

[@Jason-Samko]

Love it

[@marksullivan8200]

They had a version in Brazil I think badged as rampage it looked really cool

[@Jason-Samko]

Yep great little truck. I don't think that's what they want to bring here though

[@marksullivan8200]

@Jason-Samko I know I was hoping that was the surprise it has US flag embossed in the taillights which gave a lot of people hope & it'd sell like hotcakes here people would eat em up here in the states

[@tatecurfman7475]

i'll believe it when I see it

[@TREVORJB101]

Would love to see Dakota on a Gladiator platform to take on Ranger Raptor and Colorado ZR2!

[@Jason-Samko]

me too

[@grantandersen]

Update. This has changed, as It’s not going to be based on the STLA Large, and built in Belvedere. This has changed with Tim Kuniskis returning to Ram as CEO. It’s going to be based on the Gladiator chassis. As they are retooling the Toledo Ohio Jeep plant, and the Gladiator has temporarily been moved to the Wrangler Side of the Toledo Jeep factory. They’re retooling the Gladiator line to build the Ram Dakota based on the Gladiator chassis. When the Ram Rampage eventually comes to the states, that will be built in Belvedere.

[@Jason-Samko]

@grantandersen will look into this. I'm very excited if this is the plan! Thank you for the info.

[@grantandersen]

@@Jason-Samko This was originally the plan, for the Dakota before Kuniskis left.

[@Jason-Samko]

@grantandersen perfect

[@booster8497]

Man do I miss my 01 extended cab flame red Dakota R/T

[@Jason-Samko]

The rt was so sweet

[@scurjaldan5349]

An R/T two door Dakota would be sweet.

[@rickyarmstrong9267]

I would like to see something like the old ford rangers in the 2000s

[@ralphdromey8271]

It will be built on gadiator chassis may have v8 in it. Made in Toledo Oh.

[@Jason-Samko]

Amazing

[@BigCountry1976]

Just bring back the Strait Six Engines and NO Turbo.!! Best damn engine ever made the strait six.!!

[@brianmola711]

Hopefully it’s a body-on-frame midsize truck that’s underpinned by the same frame that underpins the Jeep Gladiator and it offers the Pentastar V6. I also hope they make a Dakota 392 with a HEMI.

[@Jason-Samko]

Would be amazing

[@Think1st-m9r]

They need a maverick competitor but they seem to be waiting for the market to be saturated and desire to be diminishing to show up😅

[@scottedwards402]

No unibody. It needs to be body on frame. More useable, durable to compete with the Tacoma, Ranger etc. Build it on the Gladiator platform. They can do a unibody in a smaller compact truck to compete with the Maverick & Sanra Cruz.

[@garysarratt1]

I bet it’s for the SantaCruz/Maverick market.

[@jedwin4816]

Jeep is serious about using drone tech in upcoming vehicles - theyre hard at work testing them up and down the east coast every night.

[@Jason-Samko]

😂😂

[@F85M]

Needs to be Dodge Dakota.name badge. It’ll ride on the Gladiator platform.

[@chrisfrieboes4841]

Wait you guys keep saying ram and Jeep are going out of business why the hell would they bring back another truck if they're going out of business

[@ramrider1453]

Media hype like anything else

[@Jason-Samko]

I have never said ram or jeep was going out of business. I actually make videos showing the exact opposite

[@antoniocognato5023]

V6??

[@Jason-Samko]

@@antoniocognato5023 would be great

[@marksullivan8200]

If it's unibody I'll get a pro 4x real trucks are body on frame if the surprise is it's not a unibody it'll be really cool

[@Jason-Samko]

Yep love bof trucks best myself

[@spartanj2957]

Oh so they must the one testing drones out east .

[@Jason-Samko]

@@spartanj2957 😂😂😂

[@patbromwell8701]

I thought Jason was checking out the rumors of large deer 🦌 and elk up that 🤔 way😅😅

[@Jason-Samko]

@patbromwell8701 😂😂. I owned a drone for 8 mins once. Bought it sent it up got it out a ways, hit a tree and never found it..lol

[@Gadfly2025]

Put MEGA CAB on 1500 and 3 row seating

[@traebishop3846]

If it's a unibody construction, wouldn't it be competing with the Maverick rather than the Tacoma.

[@tkboxer]

A Maverick competitor. snooze.

[@Jay-ns5ub]

We need maverick competition.

[@Scroll_Lock]

It is has an EV option, confirmed unibody of course. I would strongly advise them to NOT name it Dakota unless they want to irritate a lot of people. Until then I'm going to think of it as the Ramrick.

[@jedwin4816]

If it's not a full frame truck then call it the Rampage. There's history there.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@Scroll_Lock ramrick... 😂 I don't care if it comes on a military grade humvee frame, I'm always gonna think of it as a ramrick now😂😂

[@PrepperDawg]

If it is body on frame, I would take a look see.

[@D41Michigan]

Not having a frame will be a miss. It's sounding like a Ridgeline competitor and being unibody is gonna limit some of its capabilities. They could have it share the DT platform that underpins the full size ram. Like how Nissans F-Alpha platform underpinned both the Titan and Frontier, being shortened for the Frontier

[@andrewshenton6541]

Isn’t there or is there a ram 1300

[@Jason-Samko]

@andrewshenton6541 there is a ram 1200 and a ram rampage. We don't get wither here

[@andrewshenton6541]

@ thanks Jason new i heard of something

[@bigcrispy1005]

If they bring the diesel 2.0L Rampage to the US Market I wouldn’t mind snagging one just for the gas savings lol

[@samuelmottweiler3833]

If they bring the front wheel drive truck they sell around the world it will drag them down even more.

[@Troublemaker-g8r]

Not feeling the unibody. I'm sticking to the Frontier until further notice

[@SuperJbarrera]

If it looks like that it will not sell it needs to compete with the Colorado ranger and Tacoma

[@jc6618]

Oh thank goodness! With only currently having approximately 1 million choices of truck already in the US market, it’s a good job there’s another one on its way to REALLY mix things up 😒

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

Probably will be unibody. I hate to say it but I think BOF is going the way of the Dodo along with the manual transmission, the NA v6, the v8, the v10, the small displacement turbo diesel and so much more. We're seeing not just more unibody pickup-truck-like vehicles, but also SUVs that used to be BOF are no longer. People 8itched about it at first but if the auto cartel oligopoly all does it, then you can either buy one or you can ride the bus. And they know which one you're going to choose. Maverick, Santa Cruz, Ridgline, Cybertruck, GM truck EV platform vehicles . It's not going to happen quickly but it's the beginning of the end.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@TheKingOfInappropriateComments i feel you are correct.. sadly

[@dennisleggett4295]

I have had my zr2 science Jan. 2024 I am thinking of new truck. Ram- ford - chevy what do you think thanks

[@Jason-Samko]

Lots of amazing options out there. Test drive them all and find what you like best. Then work the dealers for best deals

[@dennisleggett4295]

I like some in put on dealing. I think I got a fairly good deal on My zr2. Only have 3,000 miles I know I'm old and just drive around Hixson Tn.

[@kjvav8755]

If it is not body on frame it will not be as big as they want it to be. The Ridgeline and Maverick are both a vehicle that needs a special market to of buyers to pick them up. If it is body on frame you will have a lot of workers picking them up as work trucks.

[@Jason-Samko]

Agree

[@floridaman7]

They need to bring back rhe dodge raider. A montero sport

[@mikejackson5057]

I wish they bring to australia v8 or diesel

[@mpas8684]

I have pictures of the prototype. It has been driving around Belvidere, Illinois. I can send them via an email address.

[@Jason-Samko]

@mpas8684 would love to see it. My email is on my website tbwpodcast.com. thank you. Greatly appreciated

[@mathewdistefano2489]

Every CDJR vehicle my family has ever owned has had something catastrophic go wrong with it. I have zero interest in ever owning or driving anything from them.

[@DrunkenChewbacca]

To bad drones are banned at state parks. Also, could you imagine how many drones will get stuck in trees.

[@garypower9024]

If it will be unibody i would never be interested. If they are putting out a mid size, make it a real truck. The stupid mistakes they keep making.

[@Jason-Samko]

Agree. There are already 3 amazing unibody trucks out there for people thst want them. Make this one a body on frame

[@appleztooranges]

The front of the Dakota looks like the new Tacoma

[@spartanj2957]

If its a body on frame great if not ,their loss.

[@DavidStewart-l7w]

Maybe Ram needs to worry more on sales of its Ram full size trucks. A possible mid size truck may finish off the Gladiator.

[@indycharlie]

Mavericks and the other Unibody vehicles are NOT trucks !! If they make this BS , it will just be ANOTHER mistake by Stellantis !! ... Fools !!

[@tacomafan5186]

Unibody not for me.
