4.7 Overall rating
(6 reviews)I've owned my Dakota for a couple years now. Its been a great little truck for me. Tons of torque from the 4.7 v8. The truck is small and close to the ground which gives it very nice handling however being a small truck means that leg room in the back of the extended cab is non existent. I use the back seats for storage and as a place to put my speakers. Interior cargo space is fantastic. Large cubbie holes under the back bench seat is great for storing tie down straps, trailer hitches and stuff like that. The truck only has a 6.5 foot bed so cargo space in the back is a little limited. However the 4.7 with the auto tranny can tow anything you hook onto it. The only downside I can think of is the electronics. The truck has just over 170,000 miles on it and the wiring just started to go on the fritz. Interior lights under the dash are out, power window motor on the passenger side needs replacing and when i turn the headlights on the drivers side light needs to be smacked a few times to get it to come on. Then again it is a Chrysler product and i'll tell ya, I drive Mopar vehicles for the reliability, durability and power. I just put up with the quirky electronics. Overall Dakotas are great little trucks. I always have and always will drive Dodge trucks. Mopar or No Car!
fast 2wd, lifted, 4.7l, solid 45rfe with shiftkit, great on gas for an eight banger
Lets see, what I like is that it has been very dependable. Looks sharp. I get about 18 to 20 mpg. Not bad for a truck...the V-6 is a little under powered. The crew cab has a full bench back seat. Ford and Chevy's small trucks didn't have.
I can't complain about the performance. There are a few squeaks, and the black coating on the A-pillar trim strips wore off from airflow. But with a V8, rear wheel drive, and a manual transmission, it's great to drive. Snow tires are a must in the winter. Bigger than compact pickups, it has all the utility I need without being as cumbersome as a full-size.
love the truck so much when i traded it in on a new car i tracked it down and bought it back truck halls any thing i damand of it with now problems or complants towingthe toys or hauling load of scrap
