The Dodge Dakota dealt in firsts. It was the first pickup with rack and pinion steering. The first mid-size pickup with a V8 engine. And in 1993, the first pickup of any size to get four-wheel anti-lock brakes.
Other than the optional ABS and resdesigned front seats, the 1993 Dodge Dakota didn't mess with the success it had with its 1992 models. Available in both regular cab (6.5-foot and 8-foot beds), extended Club Cab (6.5-foot bed), and Sport models, characterized by a roof-bar with lights and body-colored fenders and grille, all models came standard 2WD and 5-speed manual transmission, with optional 4WD and 4-speed automatic.
Engine choices ranged from the 2.5-liter, 99-horsepower, to the 3.9-liter, 180-horsepower, to the mopar-like V8, which rated at 230-horsepower, guaranteeing drivers to be first off the line not only against any full-size pickup, but, with a little tuning, many a street racer out there today.
Owners love the handling and sturdiness of the Dakota pickup, as well as the power of the V8. The 3.9-liter gets some complaints of sluggishness. And while they praise the comfort of the roomy cab, most feel the rear back seat (a generous term) is cramped and not made for human use.
4 Overall rating
(25 reviews)The truck is in great shape. That said, it failed inspection on 5 points: * horn doesnt work * motor mounts need changed * rear bumper rusted through * parking brake out of adjustment * missing 2 bed bolts A couple of those are nits, a couple arent. Cost to repair will be over $1k, bringing the price closer to ~$4.5k, when its all said & done. Additional nits: * gas gauge doesnt work * cruise control broken (buttons broken off steering wheel) All that said, the truck is in great shape for a 30-year-old vehicle and runs pretty good. Overall happy with the purchase
Handles great,13 yrs and rattle free,225,000miles & sounds like it just came off the assembly line,except for tire noise (road tread is quieter)
Paid too much, got a beater/woods truck. For all that, it performed very well overall, gas mileage aside. Never got stuck or lost confidence while driving it; took a good beating in my hands and came out ok. Numerous mechanical issues with it when I bought it, but nothing out of the ordinary for a roughly handled decade old truck. Heating and turning circle were both below average, but overall performance was good---only vehicle I wish I still owned.
The first one I owned was a 92 had over 250,000 on it and when I had to sell it it was up over 300,000 miles and I still see it running around town.I just bought a 93 Dakota with only 125,000 but as expected with any used vehicles it needs some TLC.
It's a solid truck, ours has a 5.2 V8 and has more then enough power to move it where it has to go. the one bad thing is it sits too low and can get hung up in snow alittle too easy
