I recently bought a Dakota. My father owns one and a few people I work with own
them. They have had little problems with theirs. I seem to have made up for
their lack of problems, unfortunately. However, I still wouldn't give my truck
up.
Sitting in the back seat: my 5'7" skinny as a rail finace puts the best: "I
will only ride 60 miles back there and that is IT!!!" The back seat is not
comfortable. Dodge could make it comfortable if they would extend the fabric up
a little higher. The hard plastic seat back doesn't do a whole lot for me.
I have a V6 Dakota which is adequate power for a 2WD truck, adequate. The V8
would be the only choice for a 4WD truck. I believe the MPG on the V6 has gone
down in the past few years.
Buy a Dakota you won't be disappointed.
