Small Crew Cab Pickup
Winner: Dodge Dakota
"A great blend of style, comfort and space."
Since it won our recent Compact Crew Cab Comparison
Test, it should come as no surprise that the Dakota
reigns as our editors' pick in this category. With
no-nonsense styling borrowed from its big brother, the
Dodge Ram, the Dakota looks as sharp as it drives. The
Dakota's appeal rests on more than just good looks.
Its standard V6 rated at 175 horsepower is enough to
compete with just about anything else in the class.
What made us fall in love with this truck, however, is
the available 4.7-liter 235-horsepower V8. Mated to a
four-speed automatic transmission, this engine
transforms the Dakota into a wickedly fun street
machine that had us stomping the gas pedal at every
opportunity. Interior accommodations are equally as
appealing, as the Dakota combines straightforward
simplicity with high-quality materials. Its midsize
dimensions give both front- and rear-seat passengers
ample room, along with more cargo room in the
5-foot-3-inch bed. The suspension soaks up uneven
roads with ease while still providing a sure-footed
grip in the corners. Available in both two- and
four-wheel-drive versions in either SLT or Sport trim,
the Dakota Quad Cab can be configured as a basic
street truck or an all-out off-road machine. No matter
what kind of compact crew cab you're looking for, we
think the Dakota Quad Cab can give you all the best of
what this category has to offer.
