Short answer: there isn’t a 2023 RAM Dakota, at least not one you can actually buy in Australia—or anywhere, really.
The mid-size Dakota name died years ago, and RAM’s current local lineup is the full-size 1500 (plus HDs), not a Ranger/HiLux rival.
If you want that mid-size ute vibe, look at a Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, Isuzu D‑MAX, Mazda BT‑50, Nissan Navara, or the new Mitsubishi Triton.
If you’ve seen “Dakota” badges online, they’re usually rumours, concept chatter, or creative rebadging—fun at parties, useless at dealerships.
For now, think big RAM 1500, or pick a proven mid-sizer and get on with your weekend.
