ProsAmerican steel-Dodge!!! Consjap mileage better but once a beer can for a few more miles per gallon.

Power To Spare-magnum V-8 — Big truck power-Sport truck handling-Luxury car ride. Was sister's truck and she passed on. Being a constant reminder, it needs to go to someone that needs reliable power and dependability in an American made truck. 18 mpg average for this one. It accelerates very quickly with power to spare. Primary Use: Family transportation

ProsGreat for moving, long trips are comfortable, transporting hockey equipment is easy. ConsFuel economy isn't the greatest

Smooth, Powerful Truck — For the first vehicle I bought myself, it was a great truck! I play a lot of hockey and travel all around the midwest, and having all that cargo room was very efficient. The ride is super smooth and it felt good to be a little bit bigger than all the rest of the cars on the road. Highly recommend this truck to anyone. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

2005 Dodge Dakota 4 Dr SLT Crew Cab SB Review
Prosfour doors, small enough to park almost anywhere you can park a car, V8 power and capable tower for open trailer hauling other cars. Consbrake issues started at about 57k miles. seems caliper mount flexes allowing front pads to stay engaged to rotor. still working on solving at 90k miles. Seems to reoccur every 10 to 15k miles. Write about negatives here...

Good Midsized Truck — Performs all duties I need as a truck (towing other cars, hauling dirty stuff) while performing ok as a daily driver in urban/suburban traffic. Small enough to park almost anywhere you can park a car, V8 power and capable tower for open trailer hauling other cars. Nice back seats even for adults. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||
