I really cant complain from my truck's acceleration when I stomp of the gas,
even in snow. I have done some mods, and my truck even has 130,000 miles on
it, plus it is a 4WD truck! I would never say my truck, even with the higher
miles, that it feels like a 4cyl truck. Especially since I have my tool box
full of gear, and a front grill brush guard, so the added weight doesnt even
hurt. I rarely do actually stomp on the gas, but I know it does get up and
go compared to many other trucks on the road. I cant even compare the power
difference of my truck to my brothers 97 Ranger ;2WD 4cyl. Maybe you guys
should start looking for a GenII Dakota :)
