Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / November 2006Diesel Dakota
Yes, that rumor has arisen again. According to recent rumor, Diesel Power Magazine has the inside scoop on a diesel powered Dakota/Durango for '07 or '08. Cummins, 3.9L, V6, somewhere around 450 ft/lbs, mid20's mpg. I've also heard of a light duty F150 offering from Ford. Anybody read that magazine? Any insight? Can't seem to find a copy of it around here.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Looks promising. They should be hitting the market just about the time my Dakota is wearing out.

I agree. I think that's the only thing that will bring me back to the dealership for a new truck. I was just looking at the new Dakotas - just for fun. Nice truck, but doesn't make me want to spend $35K. I can rebuild my current truck for a lot less money, and I like it more than the new ones. Now, a medium to light duty turbo diesel would really change my mind. I would have to go and take a serious look at one of those. DC? Are you listening?

I'll never get used to the new Dakota/Durango. I saw a photo recently of a Dakota with a 5.9L Cummins diesel. Can't even begin to imagine how they got it in there. -rev '02 Dakota QC > Yes, that rumor has arisen again. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver > 1965 FFR Cobra - 427W EFI, Damn Fast. >I've also heard of a light duty F150 offering from Ford. A diesel Dakota has been on my Christmas list for years.
