2003 Dodge Dakota Base review

Glad I bought it

Bought new in 03. Has a club cab with 3.9L engine. Always started and got me home. No serious problems. Replaced water pump, serpentine belt, ball joints and wheel bearings at 100k. Best truck I've owned over 45 years of driving.

Great truck, not too big, tows and commutes

Plenty of room for 6 footers, takes a lot of rugged use by young men and dogs, dependable and solid, fold up seats in rear - dogs go right in or 2 people and groceries! Great truck.
