Remember the Dakota back in early 2000s with that 4.7 V8 ? I had one of those DOGS, ALSO they had the 5.9 V8

If a 392 Dakota SRT does happen, I will be watching that very carefully.

I love my Ranger Raptor, but if it does come with 392 and it's price comes in below what the combined price of the 7.3L swap and what I paid for my Raptor, I may take the plunge.

I've owned 2 V-8 Dakotas in the past, but both were retired early due to hit-n-runs totaling them.

I am keeping my eye on these new Ram trucks, if anyone is going to drop a v8 back into the mid-size segment it will be Ram.

It absolutly makes a lot more sense to buy a fully factory built truck with warranty then it does to go to the extreame measures involved in an engine swap.

Heck that 392 Ram Rumble bee that debuted this week is giving me some pause or least something to think about. Thinking , being only 8”s longer then a RR and having a factory bad ass 392 v8 under the hood still has 4 wheel drive too.

I await Ford's rebuttal to Ram's raise.

The Dakota and it's trims are currently 'scheduled' for 2028 M.Y, so if Ford plans to counter the SRT Dakota and the looming possibility of it having a V-8, they need to get their test mules built and into testing.

I would want to know what suspension they go with. Hard to beat the Fox LV's and Watts link and the RR geometry.

We likely won't hear anything until last minute because they'll want to avoid hurting 2027 sales if 2028 has a huge refresh.
