Hello all:
I currently drive a 1998 Dodge Neon. I am interested
in buying a new Dakota for work and to tow my Neon to
autocross races. I have a few questions for you guys
with some experience with the Dakota's.

First of all, is the 4X4 worth the extra money, since
I live in Indiana a our winters are not too bad and I
do not plan on off-roading much other then the
occational job site visit?

Second, since I will probably get a 4X2, is there a
specific model that is better overall then others? I
mean is the sport better then another model.

Third, I really like the r/t's. Is there any downside
to getting one. Any problems that I need take in to
account? (Insurance?)

Fourth, with all things considered, with engine is the
best to get for the money? I prefer the V8, but is it
the best.

Lastly, Are there any across the board problems with
the Dakota? Example, most Neon's will need a new head
gasket sometime in there early life.

I really appricate your help. I plan on getting my new
truck this summer or fall and would like to have some
back ground before I go out and spend ~$20k on a new
truck.

Thanks in advance.

Andy
