This type of information/history would be neat to have in the FAQ too!
(IMHO) I never really thought about it, but why DID Dodge create the
Dakota?
Were they competing with a specific truck? Trying to target a market?
I do know that they didn't go over very well in the beginning, but adding
the v8 helped a lot, and that once the Magnum engines were offered, the
Dakota growth just exploded... :)
