Pros: Good handling, maneuvering, speed, and decent MPG for a truck.
Cons: Lots of maintenance required, some of it can be costly.
The Bottom Line: The price is very attractive, but I would research the odds of transmission failures and other problems first.

Pros: Looks, Solid build, great classic truck feel without abusing the driver day to day.
Cons: Previous owner, radiator hoses, reverse gear on 5-speed manual, accident survival
The Bottom Line: Great looking reliable, solid driving truck. If you are going to use this truck everyday step up to the ext. cab or the 4-door.

The Bottom Line: If you don't have a family, and you need something to haul you and your stuff to the Great Outdoors, this does great.

My father recently purchased a Dodge Dakota Sport regular cab with the 318 cid motor. He opted for the new-for-this-year paint job of Solar Yellow. It's affectionately known as "The Bee", and let me tell you, it packs quite a sting!
