I agree...the 4 wheel is definitly helpful. With out a doubt up here in
Alaska...(I'm sure you could imagine.) There is quite a bit of ice and
snow up here in the winter...not too bad this year though, because of that
one guy...what's his name?? Oh, yea...El Nino. He warmed it up.
My truck was the first one here...bought it right off the showroom floor
before there was a single other Dakota within 500 miles. And believe
me...this one is FULLY LOADED. They send their Demos out with every option
available and highly Mopar Equipped. Adios...
