I would advise them to make it the Gen 1 size, not the bloated 2010 version.

I would make the body light,
perhaps make it aluminum
now that Ford spent a fortune on learning aluminum construction details in the “school of hard knocks” that Chrysler probably knows for free through the grapevine.

I would offer powertrains of 3.6 V6
and 5.7 with a high enough diff ratio that the 5.7 rpms would only be 1300 at 60 mph in the top gear.

Chrysler ought to create a battery electric Dakota and lease it to customers.
