Expert 1999 Dodge Dakota review

Full article
our expert's take

Dodge trucks are on a roll. First it was the Ram, with its Peterbilt-like front-end; then came a revised Dakota, playing on the same look that made the Ram such a hit.

Discarding the old slab-sided look helped Dakota sales pick up, and several additions made for 1998 continue for 1999.

The Dakota has the usual assortment of truck options. Trim levels include Base, Sport, Plus, SLT, SLT Plus and R/T. There’s rear-wheel drive or a part-time four-wheel-drive system. Next comes regular or club cab, short bed (6.5 feet) or long bed (8 feet).

Next are engines. Starting with a 120-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder which can only be anemic in a vehicle that weighs in at 3,557 pounds. Next comes the 175 horsepower 3.9-liter V-6. The text vehicle, a short-bed crew cab came with DaimlerChrysler’s tried-but-true 5.2 liter V8. Known in another lifetime as the 318, this mill churns out a respectable 230 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. Top of the heap is the 5.9-liter 250 horsepower V-8. Available only on the R/T model, it feeds its power exclusively through the rear wheels.

The 5.2-liter had quite enough juice to squirt its 3,705 pounds through traffic easily. There was good oomph as well as a decent 2,000 pound payload capacity. Like any old OHV V8, the noise is familiar upon acceleration, and for a truck that competes against other compact pickups, the V8 is a great option — one offered only by Dodge.

It’s fed through a four-speed automatic transmission, or a five-speed manual is available with all engines except the 5.9-liter V8. Towing capacity for the V8 is 5,400 pounds and 6,700 with the 3.92 axle ratio.

Power steering is improved this year on four-wheel drive models, with rack-and-pinion steering replacing the old recirculating ball steering. The result is the truck feels more responsive, with some road feel making it through to the driver. The ride was good, with decent bump absorption, although there’s enough rocking to remind you that this is no car. The rear end stayed fairly well planted, despite its empty bed.

The overall feel is almost sporting. This is especially true considering the interior was quiet — quieter than most of Dodge’s cars.

Braking was okay, but nothing special. A firm foot was need to activate the power front-disc/rear-drum brakes. The rear brakes have anti-lock standard. Four-wheel anti-lock is optional.

The four-wheel-drive system used on the Dakota is for use only for slippery or off-road conditions. It can be shifted on the fly. It proved its worth through the treacherous ice storms of early January.

The crew cab model proved roomy enough, although Dodge still doesn’t have rear doors on its crew cab, at least not yet. That makes the rear a challenge for anyone trying to reach it. A quick trip is all that can be expected of the large flat bench that Dodge calls a seat. Leg room is limited. It’s best used for storage or small children.

The front cloth bucket seats felt comfortable and supportive. The center console was convenient with plenty of storage and cupholders.

The dash is straightforward and functional, if less stylish than its exterior. The instrument panel had a full set of gauges including readouts for voltage and oil pressure, unusual for any vehicle in this era of cost-cutting. Vehicles at twice the price usually skimp in this area.

The rest of the dash seemed straight from the Chrysler parts bin, so interior pieces will seem familiar to those who have K-cars and their descendents. (WillChrysler ever get rid of their truely cheap ignition slot?)

As long as we’re mentioning annoyances, I’ll mention two. The rear window doesn’t slide open, so why not put a rear defroster in? Secondly, the only way to adjust the mirrors was to push them manually.

This in a truck with keyless entry, power windows and locks — at least install a manual adjustment inside the cabin. Otherwise, the cabin was nicely assembled, certainly bett er than some GM trucks.

But as far as compact pick-ups go, this one has the usual benefits that all Chrysler (now DaimlerChrylser) products have. Plenty of style, along with more room than competitors in its class. Certainly, this 5.2-liter V8 is a well-known motor, along with gobs of power. It’s certainly the engine to have in this truck, giving up only 20 horsepower and 45 pound-feet of torque over the R/T. Go for the short bed, and you have a pick-up that’s fairly maneuverable, yet brawny enough to get the job done. It’s a nice combination, which may be why there are so many Dakotas prowling the streets.

Dodge aimed correctly.

  • It’s a great truck.

    It’s a great truck. Very cheap to fix when it needs to be. It breaks down all the time because it’s had multiple owners in the past. But that’s MY truck. Yours may be great. Mine is okay. Very very worn out. But it still runs good when it decides it wants to work.

  • great workhorse truck

    the truck is a workhorse, it has been used for hauling a camper to hauling a load of firewood while pulling a trailer loaded with firewood. despite having 31/10.50/15 tires (tire chains don't fit) it doesn't get stuck much in the snow/mud out in the woods while gathering the firewood. it has been abused but still runs with over 250,000 miles.

  • The strongest truck ever.

    It all started one night i was just going so fast cause the Dakota is so fast then out of no where a deer appeared, and I smoked the xxxxing deer so god xxxx hard the deer was dead before impact. The deer obviously didn’t survive. The truck is so durable that there wasn’t a scratch on the best truck on the market. 110% recommend purchasing this truck. These trucks are deer proof. Peace out homies! Time to hit another deer.

  • great everyday small truck that holds up

    It was great in the spring and summer, come fall and winter the rear wheel drive wasn't the best thing. Overall a great little truck that is truly worth it.

    This truck met all my needs as a fresh 16 year old driver. It was poor on gas milage, but was reliable, and allowed me to haul things that I needed to.

  • Best truck and longest lasting truck I've ever own

    I bought this truck used in 2007 with 59,000 miles on it. Now, in 2018, it has 212,000 and still runs and drives like a dream. This truck is tough. I have swamped it, hit a moose at 60mph, severely overloaded it, towed with it, driven it all over the place, off road, on road, this truck does it all. I have done some maintenance over the years, and finally had to replace the original clutch at 195,000 miles. The 4wd is awesome, and very reliable. After hitting the moose, I walked away without a scratch, and still drove the truck for a week before putting it in the body shop. The moose didn't fare so well. It's starting to get rusty now, living in northern Maine, but that's everything around here. It gets 16-22mpg with the 3.9L V6. It's a work truck, run around truck, and is never empty. It tows very well, and is great for pulling cars and bigger trucks out of the ditch in the winter. Excellent snow handling. I love it and would own another in a heartbeat. Would recommend it to anyone.

  • Very reliable and great performance for its class

    This midsize truck does everything you would want. It handles like a dream for a pickup and accelerated much faster than other vehicles in its class. Plenty of bed space and winter driving capability.

  • My second Dakota

    My last two vehicles have been Dakota's. Both with the V6 and a manual transmission and 2wd. The biggest problem I have had with them is mileage. They both have an average of 15 mpg. That may be because I drive them like a race car! I can make the tires chirp going into third gear. I am not regular on the maintenance either. Yet I have only had to replace the alternator and starter. My 95 I sold with over 250k, and my 99 has 240k on it. As for winter driving in Michigan...it sucks!!! Even if I put weight on the back. Letting the clutch out slow without giving it any gas the tires still spin. I found that starting out in third is the best option. I have taught four people how to drive a stick with my 99, but the clutch is still going strong! Many times I find myself going from first to third then fifth. It has a lot of rust around the wheel wells, and the bumpers are almost gone. But I paid $1500 for it 8 years ago and will drive it till it is done for. Or until I find another one with less miles and rust! Who knows I might even go with a 4wd V8 next time. My only fear with that is Dodge's automatic tranny's!!
