2007 Dodge Dakota review
I've owned my dakota for abou 2 years and considering that at this point it's 15 years old it's held up very well. i've obviously had problems with it, like the exhaust manifold heating up and bending causing an exhaust leak called the hemi tick. It's definitely not fast with the 3.7l v6 but it gets the job done when you need it. it will tow a good amount of stuff as well, just don't expect to have a car hauler 5th wheel. i bought mine as my first truck for 3k and considering how cheap i got it for it really is a beast. the front seats are comfortable and as a tall person (6'5") i fit surprisingly well. the back seats are... restrictive but if you have kids or people willing to have a fight ride it's perfect. the gas mileage is not great, i drive with a lead foot so i get about 9 mpg but the truck is rated for 16/20 so if you drive reasonably it's great. the bed is small at 5'4" but i've taken it camping and have no problems laying in the bed, moving around drywall and other oversized items is a breeze if you strap it down in the bed. maintenance is also incredibly easy as long as you know how to work on a vehicle. the truck looks pretty good too, mine is metallic red pearl coat and it's a stunner, it's got full sized attitude in a midsize truck and considering what it was given, it's pretty good.

Deery Brothers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Iowa City review
While I did not end up purchasing anything from this dealership, I did look into a car and take it for a test drive. The sales rep who helped was named Anthony and he was super polite and professional and made me and my parents feel at ease while we looked into the car. He was also great at following up with text and email to see his my decision process was going and he alerted me to price changes on the vehicle I looked at as well as keeping an eye out for other vehicles that were in my price range.
2005 Dodge Dakota review
Its a great truck, good sound system, simple interior design, a lot of room. Great for commuting or for hauling items, the only issue that I can think of is that its a bit short.

2005 Dodge Dakota review
I have a 2005 dakota that I purchased new. I love it. 18 years of owning it. I have had very few issues. I use for hauling and recently I have been using it for highway driving. It just works. It's nothing fancy in fact it's kind of utilitarian. But I does everything I need it to do. I do maintain it well. but I have only had minor issues. The fuel mileage is not great but it's a truck.

I bought this truck in 98. Had 8000 miles on it. Has 160,000 now. I just love this truck. Has only let me down once. Runs great. Still go from oil change to oil change without adding any oil. I've kept up on all service recommendation. Still looks & runs like new.

2006 Dodge Dakota review
This my 2nd Dodge Dakota, I would recommend another one to anyone who wants manual truck. My 1st was 1997 Dodge Dakota, I actually prefer the 97 style to the 2006 model, this year would make my truck 26 yrs old. Still on the road, just has a few maintenance issues, still planning on keeping my 97, gonna put it in the shop for some TLC. I guess what I am trying to say is that the Dodge corporation made one xxxx of a truck, I believe that if the 2006 last as long as my 97, then this will be my last truck. Nothing better than shifting gears with the windows rolled down, going 60 mph.

2004 Dodge Dakota review
November 12th 2024, I bought my Dodge Dakota SXT 3.7 L, automatic 2x4 from the original owner, it was a commuter truck from Fredericksburg Virginia to DC I picked it up with 258,000 / Now 290k , It's been a great truck for what I need. I'd like to find a machinist and get the heads redone. The bottom end should be pretty good but I'll give it a good look through when I have the funds. Just keep up with simple maintenance especially with suspension and steering parts don't let things go too long cost more money. That has been my experience with many vehicles. NO doubt, I do like this DAK!

2004 Dodge Dakota review
I bought my 2004 Dodge Dakota brand new. I have over 230k miles on it. My biggest issue with it is the transmission. I was just over 100k when it went out. I've since gone through another, that one being a "rebuilt", but I suspect it was just taken from the junk yard. My current one was rebuilt by a true old-school transmission specialist that has more miles on it than the original. I've had some engine issues of late. But overall I've been pretty satisfied with my truck. Paint is coming off the hood, but that's minor to me with respect to it's age. Back to the transmission. The guy who did my good rebuild said the tranny in the '04 isn't really good for pulling and that it's the same one they use in the Caravan. I believe him. Oh, and gas milage could be better. I average 17 MPG which isn't bad for a 20 year old truck. Wishing though it go closer to 20+

2002 Dodge Dakota review
Bought my SXT model new in 2002, Traded my 1994 Dakota. Still driving the 2002 daily. It has been an excellent truck. The only problem I had was when I was a mobile technician and drove a company van so my Dakota was mostly parked for about 4 years, the rubber hose on the evaporator canister deteriorated and the check engine light came on. since replacing that, no problems. 156,000 miles and still going strong.

2005 Dodge Dakota review
I have owned my 2005 Dodge Dakota 4.7 Laramie since 2012 as of writing this is in the middle of August 2025. I have had no issues with my truck. The truck runs perfect I’ve towed heavy loads many times over 500 miles. This is the best vehicle I’ve ever had. I had a 1986 Toyota pick up with a 22 R engine that blew the head gaskets twice back in 1992. I’ve had a 2016 Toyota Highlander that one was OK but the interior started cracking. I have a 2020 Kia Telluride had to replace the transmission. I’ve had a 1985 GMC blazer had to replace the engine in 1992 with less then 100,00 miles on it. Right now my truck sits on 18 inch rims 31 inch tires no suspension lift. The 2005 dakota has KO 3 all terrain 31 inch tires and has a bunch of overland equipment on it with a Ikamper tent In the interior it has no cracks or blemishes. I can tell you that this is probably the best truck I will own for the rest of my life I don’t plan to ever get rid of it like I said this is a solid truck. I love it. The truck also has over 170,000 miles on it. No transmission issues no engine issues no issues at all. i’ve also taken it out trailing in a mountains, terrain where you see Toyota Trd pros jjeeps, and everything and I get a lot of compliments on it.

My experience with these trucks are good because I had one in the family since it was new and it has been trough xxxx and back! They are very reliable. But they suck in the winter with snow due to no weight in the rear. Id recommend it it's fun to drive but in snow id recommend it to a more experienced driver.

1997 Dodge Dakota review
Purchased used for $1500 to using as a fishing truck about a decade ago, but we can’t kill it! About to roll 200,000 miles and haven’t spent a dime on anything more than routine maintenance. Heater is weak, A/C is strong, and the seats are as comfortable as any truck. The V-6 isn’t strong but gets respectable fuel mileage. Best served with a manual transmission.

Muy buena trato profesional muy buena atención cervical todo es excelente de muy buen trato
2000 Dodge Dakota review
I love my Dakota! They can pull more than what they are rated for, the 3.9L V6 sounds great, they are tough, and it's never left me stranded, the interior is simple and comfortable, it has some cool fetures for its age like a built in engine light decoder, and Cruze control that adapts to hills, and it has never needed major engine work. The one drawback is it has poor fuel economy around 16MPG, notorious for rust, and the automatic are reportedly very flaky (idk how bad I got the 5 speed NV3500). Overall Its a great truck and can make a great first vehicle!
