Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Great style, fast and quick
Cons: Brakes, radio layout
The new Dodge Dakota R/T's are one of the fastest production trucks on the market today. Almost as fast as the Ford Lightning, the Dodge Dakota sports big 5.9 liter engine that will scoot this truck 0-60 mph in just under 10 seconds. The quarter mile can...

Pros: Great motor, perfect size, timeless style.
Cons: Cheap bucket seats
Could lightning strike twice for me? As the past owner of a '92 Dodge Dakota Club Cab with 204,000 miles on it, I was hoping so. Had it not been for an untimely auto accident I would still be driving that truck. But, alas, it was time to replace that...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Not too big, not too small. Handles well. Stout 4cyl engine.
Cons: Cabin could be a bit more space efficient.
The Bottom Line: If you might move some stuff sometimes, don't like toy, or huge trucks, this is a nice truck!
Let me start by saying I don't like driving a tank around, but at the same time I don't want to be caught in a toy car or truck either. The Dakota is perfect in this respect! Plus it has nice wheels considering this is the factory standard, they seem to...

Pros: everything
Cons: back seat kinda small
My friend bought him a 2000 Dodge Dakota a few weeks ago and i think it is awesome. His is a v8. He has all the bells and wistles and so forth. He decided to go with a standard transmission.
The truck is the best looking truck on the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: power
Cons: seats, economy, Paint and finish, Build Quality, Customer Dis-service
The Bottom Line: I will never again purchase a Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler or Plymouth product because I know that if I have serious problems, the company will not stand behind their product.
*update 2 June 2003* DaimlerChrysler finally did honor it's word and repurchased the vehicle on the third of August. They would not send separate checks to my lawyer and I, so I had to send him the check to cash, and have him send me my money. ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, comfort, size, style
Cons: gas mileage, transmission function and soft brakes
The Bottom Line: A top pick among trucks.
While I've only had my 2000 Dakota ClubCab SLT 4x4 (with 4.7 V8 and auto) for about a week, I am very pleased so far. The other reviewers have already pointed out the downsides of this truck (i.e., poor gas mileage...I also get about 12-13 mpg in mostly...

Pros: Nice size
Cons: Cheaply made, poorly engineered, lots of plastic.
I bought this truck because it was the right size and price. Dakota is the only American made mid size truck. I also liked the "high output" V-6 because I thought it would be more economical to run. On a recent vacation of 2300 miles, I got...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Comfortable and quiet ride, very manuverable, styling
Cons: Paint fade, mediocre fuel economy
The Bottom Line: Recommended for those who need a truck, but are intimidated by bigger trucks. Easy to drive. Do not buy for economy though.
I was originally looking for a small truck, when I bought my Dodge Dakota. I was quite impressed how the Dakota rode compared to the smaller trucks such as the Chevy S-10 and Ford Ranger. The Dakota rode more like a full size truck or a large sedan than ...

Pros: easy to park, great seats
Cons: bed could be wider, and gas could be better
The Bottom Line: I love tis truck. Maybe I'll by this one off of Dad too
Like my title indicates, this is not my truck. I don't know all of the ins and outs of it (like what size the tires are). I know how it drives and how comfortable it is. My father got this truck after my car died and I offered to by his car off of ...

Pros: Great syling, good power, drives great, what's not to love?
Cons: Small backseat
The Bottom Line: Definitely buy the truck. It's comfortable, fun to drive, looks great and has been very reliable.
We ordered this truck new in August 1999. Promptly delivered with only 5 miles it has been a true joy to own ever since. Now with over 32,000 miles it's still my second love (next to my spouse of course).
The handling is great. With the sport...

Pros: affordability, reliability
Cons: could be a bit larger in the cab
As a certified GMC Mechanic and years of previous ownership I have found that Dodge makes the most reliable vehicles on the road. They are safe as well as presenting far less mechanical issues than any other vehicle.
I purchase a new Dodge...

Pros: A great mid-size truck.
Cons: The fan clutch
I've been an avid Ford fan for years, and traded a '98 Ford F150 on my 2000 Dodge Dakota SLT Club Cab V6. I should say that I was only unhappy with the Ford mainly for size and the fact that I had a manual transmission.
I wanted the Dakota...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great styling, good engine, comfortable
Cons: Gas mileage, long with club cab
The time had finally come to replace my '82 Dodge Ram 50. Let me say right off the top that I have no brand loyalty. I'll buy whatever is good, regardless of the manufacturer.
I really didn't want a full size truck, so I was looking at the...
