2006 Dodge Dakota SLT 4dr Quad Cab SB Review
ProsEverything ConsNothing
65
Love My Truck! — I absolutely love my '06 Dakota. It has been very reliable (knock on wood)...and very fun. I've only owned it for about a year. I replaced the stock air filter with a K&N cold air intake. I also had the stock exhaust replaced with Flowmaster Delta 40 dual exhaust. The only complaint that I have is that I have an exhaust leak coming from the exhaust manifold. One of the bolts sheered off in the manifold, so its no longer a simple fix. Besides that, I have no complaints. Primary Use: Commuting to work

06' Dodge Dakota Slt 4wd Quad Cab — Not as comfortable as the earlier generation but the motor is about the same and the suspension is easier to work with then the previous. I also wish it sounded a little deeper like the 04 we have but I guess I'll have to get a magna flow. Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) | ||

Best Small Size Pickup — comfy,fuel efficent. has lots of power for a v8. like the driverside adjustable seat. freat stock stero. lots of room in the vehicle providing the size of it. carries big loads and holds back on crusie control and tow/haul switch very well. 4wheel drive works exceptionly good, and climes up steep hills very well in 2wheel drive. handles very nicely | ||

ProsNice size for taking the kids to gymnastics and having to navigate the parking lots, but still enough truck to get the job done. Decent torque with the V8. Dodge always has a great sounding V8!! ConsFuel economy is the same as a full size with the 4.7L V8, and the ride is a little "floaty" when you hit a couple of humps in the road.

The Perfect Size Truck For What I Need. — I bought the truck to go to and from work, out to the job site and carry upto 4 adults. It is a nice driving truck that has comfortable seats, and is decently equipped. I didn't buy it expecting Corvette performance, I bought it for taking the family camping and for doing yard work. I also needed to have a reliable vehicle that didn't break the bank. I am quite satisfied with the overall performance and driving experience of the truck. Would I like more power....silly question, but do I need it? No. | ||

ProsLove love love the look and style of this truck ConsI hate that the one problem a Dodge will present is transmission issues.

Nice Truck Wish It Didn't Have The Transmission Problems — great performance, build could be better been in the shop twice for the transmission love the appearance of both the exterior and interior gas guzzles like no ones business. It is fun to drive through gullywashers and lots and lots of puddles. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||
