I bought this truck June of 2002

I am the second owner of this truck and have drove it almost every day. I had two before this one but this was the best. It drove like a car, rode like a car but hauled stuff like a truck. I hate getting rid of it but I am 68 and would like to get one more truck before I quit. I just do not believe they can make a better truck. It is the exact right size. It is easy to park, easy to drive and has plenty of power on the road. I tend to drive on the fast side but this truck still gets 18 mpg or better on the road. I can not think of one thing I would change about the Dakota.

Perfect Sized Truck

I love my truck. I know it was not the best. But it was perfect in size. There are not much selection in the mid-sized truck category but I think this one blows the others out of the water. It has a lot more style and comfort than the other mid-sized trucks out there. It does have a lot of electrical problems. I have replaced the electrical window regulators and electric door lock actuators several times on my vehicle. I also had to replace the water pump 3 times over 18 years and 160k miles.

Much better than expected

I'm not much of a Chrysler guy. Never cared for Dodge, Chrysler, or Plymouth vehicles. But when I was searching for an inexpensive work pick-up, this particular Dakota piqued my interest. The miles were low for the year (125k), and the price was right. So I bought it despite my perceptions of Dodge quality. I gotta say, it was far batter than expected. Completely trouble free. It towed a small car for me across three states without problems. I can't say that all Dakotas will be this reliable, but this particular one was an incredible value for the money.
