Like the flat track racer, I could picture myself riding that.

It’s a nice thought, but it’ll never happen.
Both front fenders, the hood and the bumper have been replaced. The chrome bumper belongs on a Dakota LE or SE model, as the Sport Edition Convertibles had black painted front bumpers.
I love these kinds of builds. Guy has some awesome talent!
I’m a millenial as well, and own 6 vehicles and a plethora of motorcycles. However you and I are not the norm.
Most of their kids don’t know how to run a manual transmission, or deal with a carburetor. Hell, a lot of younger people won’t even know what a key is in the near future with all the push-button starts.
Neutral: 1st generation 3/4 ton, 4WD Cummins powered Ram with a manual transmission. Engine is simple, reliable, efficient and can be made to run on a variety of fuels. Dana axles and New Venture t-case are strong, Getrag 5-speed should be good with the occasional clutch replacement.
You gotta know when to Holden...
I also own a full-size truck, so I completely understand your logic. But sometimes people want something narrower, lower, etc. Between Tacoma and Colorado/Canyon last year they moved 400,000ish trucks, so there’s a market.
Rust belt does them in unfortunately.
There is ABSOLUTELY room for a new Dakota! If they can make a Dakota that is 3/4 the size of a Ram 1500 and include a quality interior (like the DT platform Ram currently), it will do well!
You should give a warning when you are going to show spiders.
The ZF 8-speed is an awesome transmission (have one in my truck), but I agree the Charger with a 6-speed manual would be great!
Here she is after ceramic coating.
Not that I could afford either, but even if I was wealthy I could imagine going broke from the insurance premiums!
I did my part last year!
Your statement of GM’s full-size trucks not offering ANY kind of adaptive cruise control is incorrect.
“Hellavan”? “Caracat”?
Or “True Youtuber”, or “True Blogger” or “True Vlogger”.
I always wanted a Dakota convertible too! Always keeping my eyes open for a 4x4 5-speed manual variant!
