I love my truck the only thing wrong is I didn't get the tow package with it but oh well, I got the 4.7L V8 which is an awesome motor and it was under $20,000 for my truck, it is also a 4X4 which is what I like also. I also have a couple of dents from wheeling but no big deal.

Pros — good reliable truck
Cons — no tow package

I really like my truck.  Crew cab is the only way to go.  Fun to drive with manual trans.  I like the look of the 2nd Gen Dakotas alot more than the ugly new ones.  Really awesome truck.  The only thing I wish is that there were more aftermarket parts (like lift kits and performance chips) available.

Pros — Prefect size.  Gas milage not too bad
Cons — V6 isn't the most powerful.

I loved this truck.  Comfortable fabric bucket seats, plenty of leg room for taller people in front and back, V8 magnum definitely adds some get-up-and-go, rides higher which is good for flooding or high-snowfall areas, 4WD makes driving in snow easy, Linex spray-in bedliner is indestructible, taneau cover is a slide-on version, no snaps, which is much better.  Only draw back is the 14 mpg city/18 mpg highway.

Pros — Very durable, sits high, comfortable ride
Cons — Terrible gas mileage (about 14 mpg in city)

its the coolest blue truck that I know of.  It rides like a beauty and for a Dodge vehicle, it stands it's own.  It has good mpg and and off the highway.  Includes window tint and tilt wheel.  After Christmas, upgrades will appear.  Most likely a better air-intake, bigger wheels, shock absorbers and bedliner

Pros — good mpg, blue, rides smooth
Cons — V6, not as big as a Ram
