If you really want to lay a smackdown on him disconnect the swaybars and air down the tires a little......... otherwise the drivetrains on your two trucks are remarkably similar... NV3550 trannys,NVG231 t cases and even Dana30 front axles (albeit the Dakota has the Crapola IFS)
his advantage is in Wheelbase
Let flex and traction be your advantage and have fun..............
