Key Takeaways:

- The release of the 2026 Dakota will likely be in early 2026 or late 2025 at the earliest.
When is the 2026 Ram Dakota expected to be available?
The 2026 Ram Dakota isn’t expected to be available until early 2026 but possibly late 2025 at the earliest. While we still have some time before that happens we can keep our eyes open as more updates come to light. And you can be sure that we will pass on any new details to you!
What type of truck will the 2026 Ram Dakota be?
The 2026 Ram Dakota is most likely going to be a relatively compact-sized or light-duty truck. Likely comparable to the Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado. It likely won’t be the biggest on the market, or as big as Ram’s 1500, but something to fit right in the middle and a good lifestyle truck.
What type of engine will the 2026 Ram Dakota have?
Exact details on the engine for the 2026 Ram Dakota have not been released yet. We can assume that it will shoot to outperform many other midsize trucks at least, so some possibilities could be a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder, as well as a hybrid option or even potentially a fully electric truck with the rising demand for electric vehicles. If Ram decides to take the Dakota in a different direction we could be seeing engines more equipped for a full-size truck.
What features will the 2026 Ram Dakota have?
While much info hasn’t been released about the 2026 Ram Dakota, Ram will likely commemorate the comeback of the Dakota with many of the latest bells and whistles. If Ram wants to be competitive, it will need to include many features and abilities being produced by other manufacturers. Some we consider necessary include wireless charging, smartphone integration and camera-viewing safety capabilities.
