Hi - I'm also a newbie to this list.-
However I am not a newbie to the dakota. I have a 1988 Dakota that I
bought new. It has a 3.9 Liter V6. I have hauled boats, vans, 30 ft sail
boats, and many pieces of my friends furniture, tree stumps, and I have yet
to find anything that this little (big) truck will not dig down and pull
out.
