Used truck, well used, well loved.
My truck is a 2000 Dodge Dakota, white, used. The interior is hard to clean, or worn. I have replaced the CD player, door panel, power steering pump, tail lights, spark plugs and wires, tires. It drives well but takes a few pushes on the gas pedal to start sometimes.

My Dodge Dakota is an extended cab pick up, 6 cylinder, 2 wheel drive truck.
It gets about 22 miles to the gallon on the highway, its a 6 cylinder motor. @ door extended cab, so it has a back set area but it is very small. The stereo isn't very high quality, but the a/c works great. Has been a dependable vehicle so far, it's pretty comfortable.

It is very old paint rusting off.
It is old I just really need another one. I have to get a boost start every morning and when I leave from work going home. People laughs at me when that happens. I be so embarrassed. Even though I have to go through all of that I still manage to get to work and back home safe.

Great and comfortable pickup truck.
It's a great vehicle, love driving it into distance. It's super comfortable. The seats are comfortable, there's plenty of room in the back seats. The trunk is big enough to fit appliances and or furniture if you're moving. Overall, my Dakota is a great pick up truck.

Oldie but goodie & runs like a champ
It has lasted a very long time, has never given me any serious issues other than maintenance. The engine runs well, no road noise from outside. I would definitely buy another one. Now they have nicer colors to choose from as mine is a little older but still drives very well.

Gotta love our old rusty truck
We bought this truck from a friend a couple months ago. This truck looks like hell on the outside (rusted out from fender flares) but it runs great and never lets us down. There is normal wear and tear and routine maintenance that we are working on but I love our old rusty truck
accountCircle Jon W on January 30, 2021
It has been extremely reliable from day 1 until now (18 years later, and over 150,000 miles). Very few repairs needed, unlike other cars my relatives have had.
It has an extended cab which can seat up to 6, which is really nice both for seating people and hauling stuff. Like the way it runs. Can't really say I dislike anything other than that is is getting old.

If you have a family the backseat isn't good for kids.
We really like the power our truck has. And the room in the bed. And the backseats don't have much room.

Amazing buy, great ride! I am in love!
I love having a Dodge Dakota. I have the sport model, and it is very comfortable. The v8 engine is extremely powerful, and almost acts like it has 4 wheel drive even though it does not. It is a great buy. It is efficient on gas, and is perfect for long trips. Out of all the vehicles I have owned, this is by far my favorite.

It is really a 2-seater you can haul 3 people but not comfortably.

2000 Dodge Dakota quad cab 4x4 truck.
I have a slight problem with the vehicle that it occasionally stalls, but there is no "check engine" light to be able to use a code reader or diagnostic machine to find the problem. Otherwise the vehicle is reliable 4x4 vehicle that I drive mostly in the winter but occasionally when I need to haul people around because it is a quad cab. Everything else (ac, heater, wiper/washer, etc. ) Readily function. Seats, windows, door locks are all manual. Automatic transmission. 4. 7 l engine.
accountCircle Tara M on December 23, 2020
This old gal may look a little rough around the Edges but she gets the job done.
It is very poor to drive in the winter because it is rear wheel drive. We have had to replace almost everything under the hood shy of the motor and the transmission. She is reliable and gets me from a to b, no matter how much she whines doing it. Perfect for a farm runner or a couple. Not very family friendly.

It is dependable and trustworthy. It is convenient for anybody because it is small but yet a truck.
I love how easy is it to handle. It is a small truck so it is very maneuverable but still able to haul things. I have had lots of trouble out of the transmission but still live the truck.

My vehicle is a small pickup that is too heavy in the front and too light in the back. It's gas mileage is horrendous and should only be used to tow small loads to nearby locations
Vehicle is rear wheel drive and really front heavy. Has caused quickening wear on the front control arms and brake system

Dodge Dakota Sport Punisher Edition
I have done a complete restore on this truck. It has low miles, but the body was rough. Now it's like a brand new truck. I primarily use it for work, hunting and fishing. I have always need a truck since I first started driving. This has been the best one I have ever owned. It could break down tomorrow and I could complain. I have definitely got my money's worth.
accountCircle Todd R on August 8, 2020
It is been very reliable and is built well.
Lots of power, goes fast! Plenty of room. Has 4 doors. Needs a little work. Mpg is a bit to be desired. Short bed; hard to fit 4 x 8 sheets in.

The fuel mileage isn't great for a V6 but the vehicle has been very reliable.
I bought my Dakota used. It was cheap and had a few issues in the engine but nothing that I didn't think I could fix myself. I did the repairs and the little truck has run amazingly since then. Well worth the money I spent.

Continues to survive my abuse.
This truck has taken all my abuse over the years and still runs like a champ. Few mechanical problems that I didn't create myself (driving through 6 ft high pasture grass, dropping off ditches to need a wrecker). Tire replacement, oil changes, etc. I doubt if I'll ever buy anything else.

She's my must have in order to provide for my children, she's my beast!
My Dakota is my work and. Main vehicle. She's a champ with only suspension issues being a major problem due to previous owner collision. She's the 4. 7 v8, I believe smallest v8 Dodge made but I could b wrong. I've owned this truck for at least 8 years and a connecting rod has been bent the whole time but never anything more than an annoying tick. I love my beast.

accountCircle Brandon V on March 22, 2020
The seats are very comfortable in the front.
My truck runs at a okay type level. The A/C compressor has gone out on it. Which is horrible because I live in Arizona. The oil Pressure drops whenever it feels like it but it has never stalled. The passenger Window has gone out. Besides that it's pretty reliable. It has always gotten me where I need to go and gets pretty good gas. The paint is a little faded which is okay. It's actually quite comfortable in the inside. If this truck had been kept up to date. It would still be a very nice truck.
accountCircle Kristen R on March 16, 2020
It's a good truck just be careful going off-road and over lard bumps.
I got this car second hand and the previous owners didn't treat it that well and used it as an off-road truck, but it still works well enough on paved road. It rattles on the road if you go over 70 but it still works.
accountCircle Michelle A on March 4, 2020
My Dodge Dakota RT is truly a gem to own and a fun vehicle to drive.
This vehicle has consistently been safe and reliable. Although I have minor wear and tear improvements to perform it is overall a very affordable vehicle to maintain. It is also great on handling and day to day usage. For the age of the vehicle I greatly enjoy owning it.
accountCircle Rose M on February 8, 2020
Suspension is very notorious for issues. The design for alignments is extremely poor. Rust issues. Otherwise, one of the best vehicles I have ever owned coming from the 2000 era.
I love how reliable it is as a source of transportation. Offers everything I need between passenger space, cargo room, and hauling capability. Makes a single moms life a little easier to get everything done and offers me and my daughter to be self-sufficient in any move, project or crysis.

My Pretty Blue Dodge that the whole family can fit in.
I Love my Dodge except for the mechanical issues I've been having lately. However it is normal wear and tear for as many miles as it has on it. The transmission has been replaced, it has a full back seat, 4 doors and I do love my truck. Especially the color, it's a pretty blue to match my eyes. The worst thing is the gas mileage compared to my car but I still drive my truck everywhere!

Needs lots of repairs to stay on the road
Truck has constant minor problems, no get up and go and gets awful gas mileage no matter what I do. I spend an awful lot of time replacing small things to keep this truck on the road. I don't rely on this vehicle as a primary vehicle but use it as a farm truck.

Overall, the Dodge Dakota that we drive daily is a very reliable.
All the vehicles I own are pretty old and anything that is wrong with them has nothing to do with the brand just that they're old. Overall they still perform very well though and there are few problems with them even though they are very old. They are very reliable.

accountCircle Victoria C on October 25, 2019
Great vehicle to own and drive.
I love my truck. I have not had that many problems with my truck. You have the usual things. The oil pump went out. Drives great. Cruise control etc with my vehicle. If I could find another vehicle exactly like mine. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Interior is cloth which I prefer. You do not stick to the seat. With the V6 you still have the get up and go if you need too. I have had this truck for 19 years. My truck came with towing mirrors and bigger tires than normal. Gas mileage is great. The only major things that I had to replace are oil pump, power steering pump, brake cylinder, freeze plugs, water pump. Those have been replaced within the last five years.

Do not buy an older Dodge
It uses way too much fuel it did good for a while now we just use too much and we are looking for another vehicle. It is reliable for most part. Performance isn't very good. The window buttons do no not work. The air conditioning does not work. The wheel bearing keeps going out it's same one. Most of power stuff went out. It rides rough I am definitely looking for something way different than this vehicle.

Vehicle shopping made easy
Bought it at an auction, spent time painting it, interior is excellent, v6 motor has very few problems, very well taken care of in spite of the mileage, auction vehicles can be good just have to have a good knowledge of vehicles, do research on any vehicle you look at, I have personally never had a problem with Dodge vehicles, very dependable, if one keeps up the maintenance it could last as long as one wants.

My truck has been dependable transportation for a very long time.
I bought this truck used in 2001. It only had a few miles on it. I have been driving this same truck since then. If I didn't love it so much I probably would have replaced it a long time ago. I know all the repairs that have been done and where most of the dings have come from. I like it mostly because it is the right size truck for me...not too big, not too small.
