According to the information we have got, the fourth generation of the 2019 Dodge Dakota is coming back to the market of pickup trucks and it has been keenly anticipated among the fans ever since it was discontinued in 2011.

Exterior

The 2019 Dodge Dakota is about to show some quite fresh exterior design. It will definitely look bolder and more aggressive than its predecessor and the fans will have the chance to notice some serious changes and improvements. First of all, this truck should enhance its suspension system that enables some great off-road performance and a real adventure through the most challenging terrains. On the other hand, the new Dakota will also represent an excellent choice for your everyday tasks and traffic jams. This midsize pickup truck is also expected to improve its aerodynamics and increase the towing capacity. All in all, you should hope for better handling, stability, efficiency and overall performance. When it comes to exterior features, most of the updates will probably be noticed in the front fascia where this truck is going to wear its distinctive grille, massive bumper as well as its HID headlamps with daytime running lights. You will find sportier and more modern styling, that’s for sure. The new Dakota will probably stand on standard 18-inch metal wheels.

Interior

Inside the 2019 Dodge Dakota, the fans will be able to get a spacious and modern cabin that will be better-equipped and significantly upgraded compared to its predecessor. This functional interior will provide lots of space for up to five adult passengers. The company will use some high-quality materials for its wide and supportive seats and the rest of the cabin. In higher trim levels, you can hope to get power-adjustable seats that offer a heating option. Other updates can be expected in terms of technology as it has been the case with most of the next-generation truck. The driver will probably get a smaller information display in the instrument cluster and a larger touch-screen display in the center console with the latest infotainment and entertainment system. The new Dakota should also include lots of advanced safety systems and driver assist features.

Engine

The base model of the 2019 Dodge Dakota will probably use a 3.7-liter V6 engine that is expected to deliver the output of 210 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque. It will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The other and more powerful engine choice should come with a 4.7-liter V8 that provides 265 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque. A rumor has it that besides a six-speed automatic transmission, Dodge might introduce a brand-new nine-speed.
