Jul 30 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...

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...

Little Ram with the Big Guns

by eharri3 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Jan 18 '01 - Updated Feb 11 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...

Love the Truck

by lovedisney
Dec 02 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...

A wicked ride if optioned properly

by themadman
Mar 08 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

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 ...

Quad cab 4-door

by steve8001
Nov 13 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...
