The dakota is the perfect size for me. I'm not interested in tooling
around in a full size. And the compact trucks are too small. The only
reason I have the v8 in my truck and not the v6 is because it offered the
same mpg as the 3.9 did the year I bought it. I will really miss not
having the dakota as a choice when I go to replace my truck in a few
years. I think my second choice would be the tacoma, but it's so damn
small and so much more expensive.
