Pros: smooth ride, excellent acceleration, sleek looks, plenty of leg room and passenger space

This review is on the 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab Plus not on the regular 2001 Dodge Dakota, this was as close as I could get under the Dodge truck category..my apologies.
My husband was looking for a truck big enough to take on hunting...

Pros: Great acceleration and handling, no silly jump seats, closest thing to a V8 compact truck.
Cons: Iffy Chrysler build quality, poor wet traction
The Bottom Line: An excellent value... a tight suspension, aggressive wheels and tires, a muscle-car engine, and even some real hauling capacity to boot.
Greetings, epinions readers, it’s my pleasure to be writing my first opinion under the ‘new system.’ Fittingly, in these times of great change, the subject of this latest review is a truck that revolutionized the compact pickup market with its redesign...

Why a Dodge Dakota?
For the past three years, I'd been ogling Dodge Dakota trucks, either on the TV commercials or on showroom floors, waiting for the day I could finally get one. I don't know exactly what the appeal is but something about...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nice looking, powerfull V-8, comfortable, rebates, quad-cab
Cons: Fuel economy, Dodge dealers, reliability concerns, reg cab interior space, nicer versions get pricey
The Bottom Line: Blows the competition away in terms of size, power, and looks. A no-brainer choice for all but the most budget conscious truck users.
The Dodge Dakota is grouped with compact pickup trucks, and it is definitely smaller than full-sized pickups. But it really could be classified as a mid-size, since it falls somewhere in-between most trucks in either class. The Dakota has been around...

The 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 Club Cab
Let me start by saying, in my opinion, the new Dodge trucks are by far the best looking pickups on the market today. I have not found too many people who deny that. So last September, when I decided the...

Pros: High powered engine on the V-8! good space inside and well built.
Cons: Sucks the fuel and it has a very long bed.
The Bottom Line: A good solidly built truck with no problems for the 4 days that I had it, except we made a few stops at the pumps.
I rented one of these little beauties for 4 days a few weeks ago and have to admit, I had never driven a pickup before. I had no idea what to expect. However, this little hummer really jammed. It was very powerful and made the mark in terms of...

Pros: Solid, dependable, comfortable.
Cons: Back seat small for adults and rear facing car seats.
The Bottom Line: If you want a very dependable, and versatile truck, at a bargain price, make the 2001 Dodge Dakota your choice.
In December of 2000 I bought a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4X4 Pickup extended cab with a 5.4 magnum V-8. I couldn't be happier!! It has ample room in the front seats which are 60-40 split with room for a small third passenger up front(a child for instance). The...

Pros: Best looking small or mid size truck. Inside or out.
Cons: gas mileage and tie downs in bed of truck
The Bottom Line: To date I would have no trouble recommending the Dakota to anyone. It is quiet,solid, nice handling and beautiful.
We bought the club cab with the V-6 and automatic transmission. A full size truck was bigger than my wife and I wanted to handle. Going from dealer to dealer looking at all the other small trucks. It left us with the opinion that for what we were looking...

Pros: Excellent power, good handling for a truck,nicely sized between huge and tiny
Cons: Stock open differential, not as smooth as it could be shifting
The Bottom Line: It's a good all around truck for everything from your average driver to a muscle car enthuasist!
I love my Dakota! The biggest beef I have is the lack of a standard positive traction rear end with the V8. A posi would have done more for the power of tha V8 than an open rear. Having come up with muscle cars, the V8 was a must, but it still lacked...

Pros: Great lines, powerful engines, ample cab space. Accident Survivability.
Cons: Low gas mileage, visibility less than optimal.
The Bottom Line: Mid-size truck thinks it's full sized. Ample room, power and great looks. Great truck.
I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab SLT. I enjoy my truck, especially the gutsy 4.7 V8. (Would take most cars off the line, if I wanted to.) Cab is comfortable and functional. Drivers side seat is slightly narrower than I would like, but it's easy to ...
