Well, my mileage sucks. I have a '00 4x4 4.7L 3.55 CC Dak. I use Amoco
Regular gas. I have a QuickD intake. Also, it has 2914 miles on it.
Valvoline 10w-30 oil. I get about 13mpg in town (Denver) and have got as
high as 17 on the highway. I know it will get better with more mileage, and
when I begin using 5w-30 oil as well.

Subject: Re: DML: Opinions on the Dakota Quad Cab
Tom,
This is a great truck. So far I've only had one
problem - one of the weather strips wasn't glued on
fully. The only other change I would like to see is
adjustable rear head rests - unless you're a child
your head is going to hit the rear window glass in an
accident. A larger storage area under the rear seats.
What I should have added was a moon roof.
Good low end torque.
comfort great - I like the bench seats - it's a truck!
Mileage - City (Atlanta) 18
Highway 21 - 22 @ 65
I'm also courious what the actual milage for the 4.7
is.
