I Won't Ever Get Rid Of It.....ever — Performance in this truck is amazing to start with, add on top Mopars excellent assortment of performance modifications and you can get all you want. Build wise it is still a dodge, which isn't exactly lexus quality. The look is bar non the best looking truck ever made. This truck is not very costly unless you want it to be ;) This truck is a blast to drive and I would never give it up, even for something faster, which I've already bought something much faster.

Great Truck, Not For Everyone — Its a great truck, but its not for everybody. Some parts wear out quickly, such as ball joints. The truck itself is pretty reliable and has some good power. However, some have had reliability issues with the transmission, I for one have never, and it seems kind of rare to me.

Great Off Road Truck — I bought this truck to hunt out of and drive to work it does both very well and has plenty of power. I wish it had extended cab doors like the bigger trucks do but It serves its purpose thanks.

99 Dakota — I've owned this truck for about six months, while I've had to fix numerous little things mostly because the former owners let things go on it, I'm very happy with it considering what I paid for it. Just a very comfortable, great running truck.

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Pretty Good — This truck is only a 3.9L V6 but at night before it warms up it can take in a pretty good amount of cool air and turn it in to power. Ya, its yellow but yellow is awesome. It doesn't suck to much gas and is fun to drive around. And its rollin on twenties:)

Little Bout My Bumble Bee — Hello everyone, I love my truck for the most part. The power is nice, Interior is comfortable, and has a fair amount of room. However It has a few draw backs. The transfer case went out and the truck sputters. I believe the fuel pump can be an issue on most of these trucks, and has no external fuel filter. Over all I love my truck

Awesome Truck — great truck for hauling or back roads even though its only a 2wd V6 goes places ive seen 4x4 get stuck in great power and a sure-grip rear end which can sure lay down the rubber but looking for a 383 engine and a 727 manual transmission so i can really have fun

Not A Bad Average Truck — its a nice truck with backseats, a must for those with more than 2 people in their family, decent bed size for cargo and such, not too horrible on gas and they dont look all that bad either in my opinion

Badass — Really fast truck would be super if could get traction, never had any problems with it and very reliable. looking for another one to buy. it is very fun and exhilerating. i recommend an exhaust and shaker hood to put on it.
