2003 Dodge Dakota Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The usual sloppy North American electrical work, not very good milage and poor brakes. It does get around the back country with high clearance and can haul a tonne of gear. Comfortable for long drives. Oil Filler & PC Valve System doe not work well @ -40 C in Saskatoon!

beautifull clean interior 3.9 litre v8 2wd off road tires and aluminum rims bedliner drives awesome, for a small v8 it has a lot of kick to it. I can usually get 365 kilometers on a 65 litre tank of gas the best vehicle i have ever driven before an overall great truck

I like the fact that it has a manual trans. And the bulletproof drivetrain!! It is awesome in the bush. it has a very good ride on the highway and in the city. reasonable gas mileage. It is red in colour and has big mud tires on it.It also has dragon seat covers and steringwheel cover.

never had a problem with not enough power. towed tons and done great

With 5 motor options, 3 cab options, 3 transmissions, 2 drive types, and 6 trim packages it's one of the most configurable vehicles built. Willing power plants, automatic transmissions that are rarely caught off guard and well-sorted suspensions make these trucks easy to live with, no matter what they're asked to do. On-road, the supple suspension swallows up bumps, yet doesn't have the truck wallowing through the turns. And off-road, the Dakota easily handles everything, even severely rutted and rock-strewn trails. All things considered, the Dakota offers the best combination of ride comfort and capability in the compact truck class.

The only problem I frequently see with vehicle is rust problems, the V8 Magnum is a good engine and the truck itself is small, but sturdy.

Love this Truck, it's a lot of fun. So far the only thing I don't like is how you change the oil. It's a really dumb place to be and hard to change. Luv driving it. It was in pretty good condition for being as old as it is. It does suck gas and it has an exhaust system on it and a K & N filter on it so it gets better gas mileage. It sounds awesome when you rev it. Go MOPARS!

THis is a great truck and I love driviing it. It has a lot of get up and go, about 40 dollars a week to fill the tank. Its really fun to drive and I love having this instead of a big gas hog and having a bigger truck than a little truck.

Performace is really good. Build Quality- does not make a noise. Appearance- Not a speck of rust. Cost of ownership- Nor too bad only if the paymentes were lower but other wise its all good. Truck is Fun to drive.

Performance -- Little Sluggish, Have manual trans and i need to break down and put in a new clutch. All torque. Build Quality -- Built right, easy to maintain, havent really had a problem with it, and that's with 130,000 miles on it. Does have crappy milage on it, i was getting 12.5 mpg on it, but i just recently checked the tires and was alarmed that they were 10 pounds under pressure! I'm the 2nd owner of the beastie and so far i am very happy with it. This sucker will haul anything, and that's with a V6! 4x4 also works well.

it has amazing acceleration and a powerfull motor and it is not bad at anything. It is a ton of fun to drive without the bed cap. It is also not that expensive. The gas mileage is really pretty good. with accelerating into big numbers. In the summer it is a blast.

This truck at this price was a great value. I am a Dodge uy though.

the best truck i've owned. for a v6 it accelerates ok braking is good handles ok. has in 18 1/2 gal. tank and gets about 20 miles to the gallon. yea its fun to drive i like it alot

Ive had this truck for two years and never had any problems. It runs great, all I do is change the oil. It needs a wash, but thats ok. It's definatly built to last. I put it through hell and it comes out smellin like roses(not really, but you know what I mean.)

It was exactly what we were looking for , EXCEPT STANDARD TRANSMISSION .
