Jim McBride asked in my last post, after I mentioned that my '90 Dak
was about to be trade-in Bait:

Well - heres the poop regarding what Edmunds has to say about the '97
Dakota:
ChryCo really missed the Boat on this one. They had a chance to make the
BEST truck of the year, but they blew it in three ways:
1) They did not put a passenger side Airbag Cutoff switch in.
- I have a Baby girl and a Car Seat may or may not (I haven't checked)
fit in the back seat of the cab. If it doesn't - I cant buy it. *No
car seats in the front seat because of the Airbag*
2) The '97 Dakota still does not meet 1999 Side Impact Safety Stds.
- I realize they don't have to yet, but I do thinks safety counts for
something and most vehicles DO now meet this standard.
3) There is no third door on the extended Cabs.
- They definitely shoulda coulda woulda put the third door on the
cab. I mean After all ChyrCo did invent the 2nd Sliding door on the
back of Mini vans, How much trouble would it have been to put a 3rd
door on the Daks?
With these comments, I think I might just wait and see what the '98
model brings! Whatdoyouallthink?
