It’s an overpriced downsized F150. My1997 Mazda B4000 — a Ranger with a Mazda nameplate - runs circles around the new Ranger — more power, more payload, easy to work on.

Let’s hope Dodge really does revive the Dakota, not just slap the nameplate on a piece of overpriced commuter vehicle that is a truck in name only.
