Reliable

The dodge I have was one tbst was sitting for years. The entire truck would run, lights would turn on, nothing broke except for expected rusting and some wear. Put a new exhaust and fuel pump on, has been running well!

Hezting/AC blower fan, resistor

I have had to change the a.c. Blower can and module resistor and siding twice within 2 years. Wired seem to keep melting my resistor wires. Looked on line seems a lot of ppl with the same truck/2004 dodge Dakota sport v6 4.7 has been having the same problem. Maybe dodge should have a recall on these parts.

Love my Dakota!

2004 SXT. Bought it used 4 years ago. It now has 140,000 miles.Runs great. I use it as my 2nd vehicle but I enjoy driving it around town more than my 2015 Kia Sorento.

Reliable mid-sized pickup

I bought it new as a work truck in 2004, and still love driving it. I haven't had any major issue all along. Maneuvering at 4-wheel in slow speed is not as smooth as Chevy I used to drive, but overall it's reliable and does its job.

Reliable truck

Purchased new in 2004. It has over 165,000 miles on it and the power train is as good as when I purchased it. Except for the brakelines that needed replacement since they used steel instead of Copper or an alloy, I have enjoyed this truck all these years and plan on keeping it for as long as it runs.

Is in poor condition, has a lot of issues

bought as a temporary truck, would have been a very nice truck in it's day. But has been neglected, and needs a lot of work. Will due for now, and will make a good frame truck later. The price was right

Pretty decent truck!

This truck has been a pretty solid truck! Only had an alternator break. The biggest complaint is the rust. A lot of rust for only 112k

Been a very good truck

This has been a good truck and handled everything I have thrown at it. It has been very reliable and never left me walking! It is comfortable to ride in I have a bad back and never had problems driving this truck.
