I too have never owned a 4x4, mostly because of the nightmares I've heard.
When I was looking at buying my Dakota, I noticed the Consumer Reports
ranked the Dodge RAM 4x4 as having the worst reliability rating in it's
class. (And it was way down there...) So I avoided the 4x4 Dakota under
the premise that if they can't do the RAM right...they may not be able to
do the Dakota right either, but that could be way off.
