2005 Dodge Dakota consumer reviews

This truck meets all my needs ...all the comforts of a high class car and the versatility of a pick up truck...the best of both worlds

A lot of power for small v8 truck a lot fun. And. Soft. Ride. Own. For more than. 8 years 4 door very convenient perfect

I have had my '05 Dakota Crew Cab 4x4 V-6 for a bit over a year. I do construction and bought it from another contractor. What can I say? The truck has 265,000 miles on it and runs, hauls, and pulls like a full size truck. I have had to replace the serpentine belt, alternator, and a brake caliper on the truck. The pick-up isn't the quickest, but it isn't much slower with a piece of machinery behind it than it is empty. The truck drives and handles great. We had a mishap with a backhoe slamming into the truck and it did no damage. I can't figure out why they are not still making them. It is a great truck.

Mostly used this truck for trips to Home Depot and trips around town. Plenty of room in the extended cab and 6ft bed. Great utility truck.

I have had my truck for a year now 2 problems with it drivers side exhaust came of from the manifold. Also my power steering pump going. But other than the gas guzzling it's a tough truck.

I have never had any major problems with this truck. It has bee/8 a very dependable truck, and I would recommend it to anyone. I have the quad cab V/8 with a automatic transmission, and it runs great.

Styling is great, looks aren't everything dependability is #1 and a Dodge is all that and more. Keep it maintained and it will last forever!

This is almost the perfect sized truck. I do not have a need for those big monstrosities that inhibit the highways now. Wish they went back to making this size once again.

Happily owned a 2005 Dodge Dakota SLT Crew Cab V8 Magnum for the last 7+ years. Hauls whatever you throw at it and with the V8 it's just as fast and just as strong as it's big brother but smaller and lighter giving it great gas mileage.

This dodge runs very well. The only thing that bugs me is, the remote enter doesn't work and the key to open the doors doesn't disengage the alarm. So if the truck is locked the alarms goes off every time, Very annoying to me and my neighbors.
