Hi all,
I'm new to the list. I've been a Mopar fan for quite a while. Owned a 62
Fury w/318 and push button tranny for a long time and currently own a 66
Chrysler 300 w/383.
I'm considering purchasing my first new vehicle ever, a 2000 4wd ext cab
Dakota w/ 4.7 liter and auto. I must say though, that I'm a little gunshy
after having read some postings at Edmunds about Auto Transmission
troubles with the Dakotas. Also, Consumer Reports gives the Dakota a NOT
Recommended rating because of reliability problems.
Are these folks blowin smoke or is this years Dakota a questionable truck
to buy?
I'm also a little concerned when I hear about folks getting 13mpg in
their Dakotas. Hell, I get 13mgh in my 66 300 on the highway averaging
75-80 mph.
I appreciate any feedback and/or experiences with this truck.
SteveOH
