Reviving some reliable vehicles has been on many companies’ minds, and Ram is no different. As customers begin to rediscover the truly unique benefits of midsize trucks like the Ram Dakota, which was retired back in 2011, the revival of these vehicles seems even more essential in today’s market. The Ram Dakota gives the company a chance to allow consumers to feel the nostalgia of one of their most beloved vehicles while reaching a new audience and expanding its base with more relaxed marketing efforts. While feeling the happiness and nostalgia of the old Dakota days is something unique that Ram has given enthusiasts, there are plenty of reasons to look forward to the return of the Ram Dakota and the rest of the Ram pickup lineup.
Jeep Will Be Affordable
When it comes to vehicles on the market today, consumers are looking for something that will offer unique features while staying within a budget-friendly space. The Dakota will do just that, as various sources have estimated the cost for the 2024 Dakota to remain at a starting price of around $26,000 (Plus Destination Fee). It can be assumed that higher trims will more likely go over $32,000. However, even those trims will remain in a more affordable tier than other brands with higher and more luxurious trims. While both Ram and Stellantis have remained private with the actual price of this beautiful vehicle, once official information is received, updates will be made with the idea of an affordable truck in mind.
Off-Road Features
While some might believe that the 2024 Dakota will be a more lifestyle pickup truck, this might not be the case. With consumers seeing gas prices rise on a daily basis, those looking to purchase a truck would likely not want to purchase one just because of the style. This being the case, and Ram listening to consumer feedback, it can be forecasted that Ram may offer a Rebel trim on the 2024 Dakota similar to the Ram 1500. It may have some unique and superior off-road features, so buyers can expect to see a sports performance hood, off-road 33-inch tires, and a locking rear axel, all with the possibility of added camera view features like the 360-degree trailer surround view camera.
Potential Engine Types
When the 2011 Dakota was thriving, it boasted a 3.7-liter V6 engine that offered drivers 210 horsepower, and they could upgrade to the V8 engine to get the 302 horsepower version. In this day and age, with Ram being known for its incredible power, it can be assumed that the 2024 Dakota will sport a 3.6-liter V6 engine seen in other popular Stellantis vehicles. It may even be mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission! The 2024 Dakota may even sport a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel engine that can pump out 260 horsepower with 442 lb-ft of torque to showcase that power further.
Beloved Design
Modern consumers look forward to the incredible off-road features and strong capabilities offered in a lot of trucks, but they also enjoy a more upscale interior with modern touches. Industry experts believe that the 2024 Dakota will offer just that and may even surprise buyers with its interior design, tech and safety features, and infotainment system. It may resemble the Ram 1500’s interior, so some of those beloved features like a spacious cabin, sunroof, digital instrument cluster, and the Head-Up display may also be features. The exterior will likely take notes from the Ram 700 and the Ram 1500 to give a more unique yet nostalgic feel, and it can be expected to hear about color and customization options in the near future as the 2024 model year comes closer!
