They're supposedly putting out some nice HP numbers. I read an article about them and the only thing I thought was strange is that they have 16 spark plugs. Something like a hemi design. Except half of the plugs is one type and the other half is another. The bad thing is that they arent interchangeable.

Mom has the new 4.7 in a Grand Cherokee. I am impressed by it, motor is smoother, quiter, much better on the bottom end, and doesn't feel like it runs out of breath on the top end. Better fuel mileage too(though not much). Mom had a Grand Cherokee with the old 4.7 so it is a perfect comparison.

when i was at the chrysler training center they were showing us that new motor. it is made by pheonix, which is now our new motor builder. it is nicknamed the "semi-hemi" they produce alot of power and get better gas mielage than the older 4.7.

You are right, not quite 20 mpg, I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that. but the est. fuel econ. is 14/18...
There is a huge diff. between the ram and the tundra, and the tundra beats it in every catagory.

Any Dakota newer than 04 is just butt-ass ugly! IMO Dodge has now put the Caravan front clip on the Dakota.

I gotta agree. There's no excuse for making a truck look soooo ugly. I didn't think Dodge could make the Dakota look any worse than the '07. I WAS WRONG! Is Dodge purposely trying to kill off the Dakota line?

When the subject of current styling of the Dakota and Durango comes up I always remember a pix of the Damlier Deiter guy stroking the fender of the newly restyled Durango saying, "We've got to get this right".
