Pros: truck, leg-room, color (intense blue), quiet-ride
Cons: cost
The Bottom Line: As silent as they come, and as comfortable as you could ever be in a car.
My friend is in the market for a new truck, so we went for a test-ride in a new Dodge Dakota Quad-Cab. Now, I went into this experience just expecting this ride to be like any other test-drive, but I was pleasantly surprised at everything that this...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Fits five people comfortably and safely, with hauling capacity of a truck.
Cons: Lacks power, interior feels cramped.
The Bottom Line: A great concept that others might like, I just didn't. If you are looking into getting this, I recommend getting the V8 engine.
A few months ago, my life partner and I decided that we were going to have a baby, and that the truck I had at the time (a Chevy S10 extended cab) was too small for our newest edition. Sure, we had yet to even visit the sperm bank, but I was getting a...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Hauls 6, rides great, convenience, looks
Cons: Short bed, V8 gas mileage
The Bottom Line: AN SUV with true truck capabilities!
I owned a regular cab '87 Dodge Dakota until early 2002. Purchased a 2000 Dakota Quad cab for its convenience, looks, passenger room, and hauling capability. I have three friends that own V8 models, and all three report gas mileage of 12 mpg, in town, ...

Cons: One won't appear out of nowhere in your driveway. Darn!
People in today’s society are faced with a tough decision when it comes to choosing an efficient, but aesthetically pleasing, family vehicle. It used to be a choice between a mini-van, sedan, or luxury car. Those few options became tired and people...

Pros: Functionality, Looks, Handling, Interior room, Feel, Comfort, Stereo
Cons: Magnum 4.7 is a little thirsty, but well worth it!
Today's family lifestyles have become complex, and our family, with dogs and kids, is no exception. This is my first Dodge in 30 years of owning vehicles. I've always been a GM man, so I didn't just jump into this 'fat, dumb and happy'. After several...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great looks, great power, excellent ride and handling
Cons: sloppy 5 speed transmission (corrected), gas mileage
The Bottom Line: An excellent compromise between load and passenger carrying ability. Great handling and driving vehicle. Looks good too.
I bought my 2000 QC in May 2000. I compared it to a Ford Super Crew. The day I test drove there were very high crosswinds on the highway. The Ford (a 4-wheel drive) was pushed all over the lane. The Dodge however, was rock steady. This turns out to ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great head & leg room. Power in 4.7L Magnum V8. Multi tasking.
Cons: Those tires just keep wearing out. Gas hog.
The Bottom Line: I really love this truck, it has done everything we have wanted it to, we all fit in comfort, and it looks great.
In the summer of 2000, when my '85 Chrysler New Yorker was costing more to keep running than it was worth, I started the discouraging process of trying to find a car that fit my budget and also fit my family. As a 5'4" female I can ride in anything. The...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good power, spacious interior, reasonable height and length, good ride height.
Cons: Brake rotors warp easily, elevated level of engine maintenance required, no front access to frame.
The Bottom Line: Don't hesitate to buy it. It is as versatile as it seems and has relatively few problems.
I consider the Dakota Quad Cab 4X4 to be the ideal vehicle. It has the guts of a pick-up truck coupled with the comfort of a luxury car. I have had my truck for about 2 and a half years (42000 miles) and have never regretted my original decision to...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, Space, Comfort, Four full doors, and Handling
Cons: None
The Bottom Line: I think the 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab is the best mid-sized truck out there: it's versatile and dependable. Overall, this is the best truck I have ever owned.
I test drove a Ford Ranger and an Isuzu Hombre before I chose my 2000 Dakota Quad Cab. I found that their engines did not deliver as much as power as the Dakota, and the ride was not as smooth. The 3.9 Liter V6 gives you the right amount of power...

Pros: Power, Size, Handling
Cons: None that we have found - so far
We were searching for an extended cab pickup truck. I THOUGHT that the extended cab Dakota had a 3rd door (needed for kids here). I was about to head over to Chevy when I saw a Quad Cab that had JUST been taken off a truck. Went back the next day for a...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, looks, cost, & interior room.
Cons: Truck bed size for large loads
There is not a single truck currently out on the market that offers the power (4.7L V-8) or (5.9L V-8), the interior room, looks, or the value ($19,000 to 24,500 totally loaded) as the Dodge Dakota QuadCab. One test drive will give you the...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: Nice looking truck gets a lot of looks. Stronger than a standard mini truck.
Cons: Mileage/ Unresolved shifting problem
The Bottom Line: I'd avoid it unless they will acknowledge the shifting problem and have a solution for it.
I traded in my 97 Ford F350 Diesel for this new Quad cab and have gotten mixed results. I like the smaller size and since I don't need to haul or carry much weight - the truck makes lots of sense for my business and our family. It goes camping well with...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nice options, Large back doors, full rear window roll down, towing ease
Cons: None
I shopped long and hard for a new truck. The full sized trucks were too big to fit in my garage and be able to walk around it with the door closed. As I looked at smaller trucks, there were few to choose from. Most were imports and with the extra doors,...

Pros: Drives great, looks great
Cons: Mine didn't come with a CD player
I first started thinking about purchasing a new truck about 5 months ago. My dad first turned me onto the Dodge Dakota as a possible option. When I got serious about buying a new truck, I looked at Dakotas, Tundras, F150s, Frontiers, and Silverados. I...
