Pros: Power, Nice Look
Cons: Comfort, Fuel Economy, Hard On Rotor and Brakes
The Bottom Line: Pretty truck, but it value, reliability, and resale do not warrant the sticker price.
I bought my Dakota new in 2001 and was initially satified with the vehicle, but then I began to notice many little problems that reduced my overall satisfaction. Comfort I am a big person and soon found that the Dakota becomes quite uncomfortable ...

Pros: Smooth ride, great price, V6 has plenty of power, quad cab is great!
Cons: Wind noise at freeway speeds. Rear seats not comfortable for long trips
The Bottom Line: For the price this is an excellent buy. The truck is solid, comfortable, and versatile. Perfect truck if you have kids! Seating in the back for 3.
We have only had the truck a couple months but really love it. Its larger than the Rangers, yet not a huge truck. Easy to park and it has NO blind spots. Great truck! The rear windows roll all the way down, which is nice. The front passengers have plenty...

Pros: Extra cargo area, streamlined design (destined to be a classic) and descent budget features
Cons: Low Gas mileage, sluggish 3.9 V6, and needs more creature
comfort options
The Bottom Line: Compare this vehicle to all others you were considering, before deciding which one to buy; I think you'll return to your dealership to get another view
The overall truck is a nice package for the dollar. 4 doors is a great addittion whether you have a family or not. I use practically every inch of this vehicle for all my crap. I opted for the Infinity sound system, I probably would have saved about ...

Pros: It's the perfect size with great handling
Cons: Gas mileage
The Bottom Line: I would definitely consider this truck if you have a second family car to shuttle everyone around in. It's an all-around great truck.
In April of 2001 I ordered a 2001 Dodge Dakota SLT Club Cab 2WD V8. I absolutely love this vehicle. A few years prior I worked at Warren Truck Assembly in Michigan (temp hire) where the Dakotas and Rams are made and was fascinated by the truck (I had ne ...

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 ...

Pros: Nice looking, good handling, fast acceleration for a truck, plenty of options
Cons: gas mileage, passenger leg room
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a truck but not heavy-duty, the Dakota is the truck for you. It's a beautiful truck that drives like a car (except for gas mileage).
I'm a very proud owner of a 2001 Dodge Dakota. I've owned the truck for a year now, and it has been great. It rides very nicely. Handling on the truck is great too. When the truck is all cleaned up, it looks beautiful! The sport package that I...

Pros: Fast, Great power with the V8, Roomy for a mid-size pickup, handles very well.
Cons: 16 - 18 MPG. Speakers are good, stereo is not.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Dodge Dakota, just buy it without the stereo and put your own in later.
Overall I like my Dodge Dakota. It had a lot of room for a mid-size pickup. It looks great (especially when its clean). My Dakota has a V8 4.7 Liter engine. It has all the power that I need. It also has a lot of room in the bed. The truck is just...

Pros: Smoothest ride in a 4x4. Great looks and perfect size.
Cons: Dodge Dealer in my town is rather lacking.
The Bottom Line: The Dodge Dakota will surprise you with it's quality of fit and finish and the ride is smooth as silk.
I have had my Dakota for about a year now and really like it. My 16 year old son is always wanting to borrow it as he says it is a "Babe Magnet". Take that for whatever you want as I think he means the teenage girls really like it.
I have the...

Pros: Excellent handling, great acceleration, roomy interior.
Cons: Short bed
The Bottom Line: If you want extra seating, great ride, great performance and drop dead good looks, this is the truck for you.
I traded in a 2 year old Ram 1500 Quad cab with a 5.2L V8 for the Dakota and have never regretted it. The Dakota rides better, handles better and with it's 4.7L V8 produces more horse power and out performs its big brother. With the full size 60-40 rear...
