Some people are just like that.

Therefore you should know what shortcommings they had like taking forever to quit
using throttle body injection which is not that effecient.

I have driven pickups for years. 69 Ford 390, 74 Chev LUV (Isuzu), 80 F100
4.9ltr, 89 Dodge Shelby Dakota 318, 91 GMC Syclone 4.3 turbo (worst truck I
ever owned. Blew 3 engines and lots of other problems in only 59k Miles), 1998
Dokata Sport 318 (wrecked) and now 1999 Dakota R/T reg cab 360. I will admit
thest trucks are not as fast (in stock form) as the current v8 cobras, trans-ams
and cameros but with a little massaging they can be serious competetion. I
believe they are the best built trucks I have found. They may weigh a little
more than their counterparts in the other makes because of thicker sheetmetal
etc. but that makes for a stronger veichle. You will see some complain about
this and that about their trucks but that happens in any forum that you find. I
am quite pleased with my R/T and I expect it to last a long time.
