Dodge Dakota Overview

As Goldilocks would say, the Dodge Dakota is just right. Dodge introduced it as a compromise between their compact trucks, which had limited hauling capacity, but were easy to handle, and it's full-size Ram, which had the powerful towing and hauling capacity, but could feel bulky and unwieldy behind the wheel.

Enter the Dodge Dakota in 1987, which fell somewhere in between. The first pickup to feature a V8 engine, and the first to offer rack and pinion steering, the Dakota's horsepower, 4WD option, and aggressive styling suited those who used it as a workhorse, but its durability appealed to families looking for an alternative to a minivan.

Over the years, the Dakota evolved into more of a family truck without giving up any of its engine power, available in a V6 or a V8. The cab had always been roomy for front seat passengers, with controls that were easy to read and operate and storage room between and under seats. The introduction of a four-door Dakota and a lengthened cab (achieved by shortening the bed length) to seat three people comfortably in back placed it firmly in the family car realm. The heavy-duty suspension, precise handling, and unpenetrable sturdiness of the Dakota made it comfortable for transporting family, while the V8 engine and the 6.5-foot bed made it ideal for transporting cargo.

Owners love their Dakotas for the combination of look, feel, reliability, and strength. The biggest gripe is with the poor gas mileage, but really, it is a truck after all.

The Dodge Dakota has built a strong reputation over the years for its power, reliability, and versatility, particularly with owners highlighting the robust performance of the V8 engines across various years. Many drivers appreciate the spacious interiors and towing capabilities, which make it suitable for both work and recreation.

Its a bit shabby but the price is right and its a very good pickup truck and V-6 are excellent and standard transmission will last longer than automatic transmission if you have experience with stick shift and clutch and I am looking for a mini truck that will fit in the garage.

Ive enjoyed the size and utility of this truck, BUT the power is weak, the tranny is lacking 1+ gears, it sucks more gas than a GM 6.0L (which generates way more power), the bearings in the rear end failed (constant whining sound) before 100K miles, and its been throwing trans temp light (in error) and engine codes randomly forever. Do not buy it. First and last Dodge Ill ever own.

Not too big, not too small, best in class towing and a powerful V8 are big pluses if you are looking to tow a trailer. It’s BIG compared to some of the other smaller V6 trucks and may not be what others are looking for.

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

Most features are minor ones, and I think the price is high for a 20+ year old vehicle. Its compatible with a Chevy S10 or Ford ranger although finding these in a 4 door is unusual.
