Yeah, but I sure wouldn't want to live with a Jeep as an only vehicle. Or
try to go camping for a week with two adults and the dog. Or tow a
medium-size trailer. Or move across the continent. I know quite a bit
about Jeeps, I was practically raised in my dad's 1971 CJ5. My dad has to
drag it to the camp site behind a truck, which has wrecked the steering over
time.
The Dakota might not be the ultimate special-purpose vehicle, but it's the
ultimate all-purpose vehicle, IMHO.
