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

Truck has 50k on it... new water pump, new front ball joints, fan clutch, water pump, power steering pump and rack. Now the transmission is having issues. This is the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned. It will be sold in the next month. I will never buy another Dodge.

Pros — None
Cons — Get ready for repair bills
