Used Dodge Dakota trucks for sale near Ocala, FL

Great experience all the way around great sales guy ray to the awesome finance mgr will definitely be my new dealership goin forward!!!!

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!

I stopped in with my son, a first time buyer who was looking for something to tackle the snow with. As soon as we stepped out of our vehicle, Dominic approached us with a friendly aura and introduced himself with a smile. Ya know, most of the time when you’re greeted that fast as a auto shopper you’re thinkin’ uh-oh another pushy salesman, but that was far from the case. This dealership was helpful and willing to give us a car buying experience that was unmatched by previous lots around the region. The staff is friendly and treat you as one of their own. I will send all of my friends and family here first the next time they’re lookin’ to buy a car.

Best used truck I've owned. Makes the 3 rd Dakota I've owned. 1st pre-owned. Daily driver still today. Has plenty of power and rides great. And handles on the road awesome. And with the 4.7 I pull several different types of trailers.

Great customer service from the beginning. Acted fast and always puts the customer first. Great communication! Thanks Mitch.

This truck meet all my needs but a car or suv is better since I have grand kids to take to school events.

Was looking for a midsize SUV, Bryan had a great condition Nissan Xterra at a price i couldnt refuse, the right deal, the right price, the right ammount of communication.. and a polite easy going demenor in the office… definately my current favorate used car dealership!

It has met all my needs so far. I had Dakota before and I am quite happy. Glad I looked on cars.com to find it!

As soon as we walked in the door, McKee greeted us and made an easy and enjoyable experience for me, my wife and a new baby to get in a new car more suited for our needs. We bounced around on different vehicles and even took one home for the night and he was happy to juggle it around for us. Couldn’t be more happy with the company, the car and our salesman McKee!

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.

Good people with good selection. Walked out happy and got a better payment than expected.

This truck was my friend for four years until I traded it in om a fullsize RAM. It was a true workhorse. I used it as a daily commuter, family vehicle, cargo hauler, and as a tow vehicle and it did it all well. Ride could be better but, let's face it it's a truck. I truly love the design, I feel it's an attractive looking truck. Interior design looks a little cheap, but it's thought out well and I was always using the fold-flat crates under the back seats. I traded it in because I needed a larger back seat as kids are getting bigger, and because it's one flaw is the power (or lack there of) of the V6 engine. Hot day with the A/C cranked up and a full load of passengers and you can feel a big drop in performance.

I'm one very satisfied customer that just bought my 3rd car from this car dealer. They are all very professional and helpful. Great customer service and I always recommend this car dealer to my friends and families. Keep it up!

Bought my Dakota from the original owner with around 180,000 already on it, it now has over 250,000 and my son still drives it to college daily. The doors still sound solid when shut and still rides well for a 4X4. This is a great vehicle for the winter as the four wheel drive works extremely well, even through a couple feet of snow. Still has the original transmission and engine, although it smokes and uses quite a bit oil, but still runs well. Since it is American made parts are cheap and finding a mechanic to work on it is easy. Have replaced many parts that usually go out such as starters, brakes, belts etc. Also have had to replace the computer several times, which I thought was unusual. the engine is the 5.2 liter which seems to be prone to oil and fluid leaks. If you can find one of these older Dakotas with low miles in good shape I would suggest buying one.

Chase was so amazing and helpful throughout the entire process. He was awesome and let us look at the car without being pushy. Easy to talk to and got the process done quickly and efficiently. Nice clean place with amazing cars. Loved the matchbox cars on display too. Highly recommend shopping here

Bought this Dakota Quad 4x4 new. It has the 4.7 V8. The absolute Best Truck I’ve ever owned. It’s still lookin and running like new with 250.000 miles on it. Never had any problems with it. It’s sitting in the drive way right now.

Great experience with success auto sales. I recommend everyone to buy a vehicle here. Thanks

We have a 2001 Dodge, 2001 Dodge Dakota, 2007 Dodge Dakota & 2008. Dakotas were made good & 2 Run A Long Time! We Had A Friend That had a Dodge That had At least 300,000 the truck is here but he isnt anymore.

Bought it brand new, good use of space in center console, everything logically placed. Very few issues. Seat seam wore out from entry and exit on regular basis.

I had an overall terrific experience buying my Silverado from Howard's! Friendly staff, great cars, and great prices have made me a lifetime customer. I highly recommend buying here!

This truck meet all my needs at the time. Now I have grand kids to take to different School functions and there is not enough room in the truck.

I had such a fantastic experience at Dante Auto! I was buying a car for my sweet Grandson who is graduating in May! Never thought this day would come, I remember when he was a little tot running around. I was amazed by the customer service, especially with Mark Dante (give him a raise LOL) he was so very helpful and seemed to really care about his customers. I will be recommending Dante Auto to family and friends. Thanks again!

Engine choices suck.Bring back the 5.2(318),so its actually a reliable working truck.Having to avoid the V/8 and getting the V/6 is not nice at all.

Just bought it. Used w/ 38,000 mi. It is what I was looking for. Seems to be fully capable for my needs. Size was a BIG consideration. Full size pickups are simply TOO big. Trade off between used Dakota and new (other) mid-size pickups is cost. If the Dakota was still being made -- essential the same as it was in 2011 which was last year for the Dakota -- I would have been looking at a new Dakota. Good all-around multi-purpose vehicle.

I highly recommend buying your next car here. My family and I have purchased our last two vehicles here and just got our third. Once again, every staff member’s kind and welcoming attitude makes it easy to come back. For us, the most important part about getting a car is the longevity. This is something Pioneer Motors has ensured every time. We purchased our first vehicle in 2012, and it’s still running strong over 10 years later. Best dealership in town!

The Dakota has exceeded my expectations in more ways than one. This is the reason I'm in search of my next Dakota I aware that this truck is discontinue but I don't want to give up just yet!!! Please help me find another Dakota.

I purchased a Jeep from Red Cedar 9 September 25!! Best car-buying experience EVER!!

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.

The best customer service I have ever received at a car dealership. Absolutely no pressure and gave us plenty of time to look at it!! Found car online and drove 2 1/2 hours from Ohio and would definitely do it again. Well worth the trip!!

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+

I saw a great looking Jeep on their lot and I'm glad I stopped to check it out! Joe and Robin were great to work with throughout the buying process. They also helped my by installing a few accessories I wanted and that was much appreciated. I recommend doing business buying or selling your car with them without reservation.

I bought mine used and I believe it had a rough life before I bought it. It took some getting used to after owning a 1500. My truck has a softer life now and it is a good quality truck.
