Used 2001 Dodge Dakota for Sale near Tucson, AZ

Purchased truck with blown engine. Replaced 4.7l v8 3 years ago. No problems with this truck. Terrific ride and handling. Loads of power. Limited slip rear diff gives great traction in all conditions. With the four doors and the little topper I am able to handle lots of gear as well as pull my boat trailer. For an older truck, i really like this unit overall. It is a shame that no one builds a small to mid size pickup anymore, just huge trucks that wont fit in most peoples garages!

Purchased new 12-2000, Only problems , can't recall any in 7 yr. ownership. Only routine maintenance required Tires @ 46000 miles, battery at 6 yrs. Now have 48000 & average 16.8 mpg in local drivung wth 4.7 V8

The Dakota R/T's performance is awesome for the small truck with a large motor concept. Dodge uses the same 5.9l in the Ram and shoves it into this midsize truck. Being smaller and closer to the ground also gives it amazing handling for such a small truck. Mind you, the single cabs are more maneuverable with the handling and the braking system on these trucks is perfect. You will use some gas but as they also say "haul ass". I use this truck as a weekend driver and as a performance vehicle as I'm always adding something to it. These motors are forever on performance parts.

I love everything about my truck besides the gas mileage. However this is my first truck so I compare mileage to a car. And I wish it was a V8 instead of the V6. It performs well but could definatly do better with more power.

Overall pretty happy. The V6 is a bit weak and something with more HP would have really improved things. Would replace the tires and breaks since both were fast to wear out. The only real issue i've had so far was that the blower fan went out, however it was under warranty and fixed promptly.
