Despite the last Ram Dakota rolling off the production line this week, Chrysler is already pondering over a smaller light-pick-up to replace the 24 year old Dakota.
The marque may consider a lifestyle pick-up that will fit in under the Ram 1500 that could underpin the same platform as its MPV, which would allow for a front-wheel-drive, unibody chassis.
“As the truck phases out of its planned lifecycle, we’re exploring plans for an affordable replacement that meets the work-hard, play-hard needs of our customers,” Nick Cappa, a Chrysler spokesman, told
Inside Line. “Although the Dakota is a great truck, there just isn’t a big enough gap between it and the (full-size) Ram 1500.”
Although a launch date is yet to be set, the newcomer will be produced in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
