New Ford Ranger rival! 2024 Ram Dakota pickup/ute set for EV, petrol, diesel options - and Australia
The 2024 Ram Dakota is coming to rattle the Ford Ranger and hammer the Toyota HiLux, the two best-selling mid-size pick-ups in Australia. That's right, the American brand best known for the larger-than-life Ram 1500 ute, is cooking up an all-new model that it hopes will dominate the sales charts.
But just what does the new Dakota have up its proverbial sleeve? Well, it's looking good for potential buyers, as a battery-electric (EV) version is under study alongside internal-combustion (ICE) versions with either petrol or diesel power. Point being, there should be something for everyone.
That said, in this podcast special, CarsGuide's Managing Editor Tim Nicholson, News Editor Tung Nguyen and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton gather to discuss exactly what's in store for the new Dakota under the bonnet, plus everything else we know so far. Spoiler alert: There's plenty to be excited about!
