The one most important thing about my Dodge Dakota is it's arm extremely nice truck for the price and if you like trucks like I do than you'll love this truck.
I love my Dodge Dakota because I've always loved trucks. It's a nice, roomy truck and it gets me from point A to B. My favorite is the fact it's a truck, I feel they are more useful than other vehicles.

I do not like the way the truck handles. It is very light and all over the road. No good in the winter.
Very light and moves very easily just hitting a bump

Dodge Dakota Lamar, the perfect blend.
We love our truck for our current situation of renovating. It is a mid size truck so we are able haul whatever we might personally need in regards to complete our home improvements however not to large. Many friends, family, associates or neighbors all who know us well enough don't often come to us in immediate need of assistance in hauling items for them. Some of these trucks now a days are almost too much. Where appearance and keeping up with "the jones'" is a job within itself. Trucks were built to utilize maximum horsepower with limited rpg to aid in the "work" environment. I firmly believe that there is such a thing as excessive over compensation. This vehicle is just right, perfect where it counts. Even while smaller framed it can do most all big or giant trucks can do, just not in the grand scale. While still being strong enough to haul a small camper, or trailer, and all areas for any tailgating prior to games we go and see. It also blends well in traffic with its smaller framed build, either in city or on highway. The biggest downside to this particular vehicle, is perhaps its fuel efficiency. It really only sustains roughly 15-17 mpg in town, and about 20 mpg on highway. Its tank could be slightly larger also to help offset our constant fuel purchases in a given week. We also live in a seasonal climate with harsh winter, and its 4x4 over and under gear prove most beneficial on the days when you need to get out of the house. Its reliable.

The safety features that comes standard with the truck
This is my third Dakota in a row. Love this brand of trucks. My son totaled my second truck and the only injury was a broken nose. The safety features worked.

The motor and battery is in the trunk.
This car is not economic with gas. Also. It is spacious and it runs with power in the highway. It has a AUX cord to connect with your phone.

Reliable but
I have owned all 3 generations of Dakota's but my 2008 doesn't seem as well built as the first two. Transmission can sometimes shift hard and the truck only has 40,000 miles on it. Passenger window doesn't work because of computer bs under the hood and the unconnect has never worked right.

It wastes a lot of gas. Have problems with the radio running when turning off. Other than that it's pretty great.

Well built truck with plenty of power.
I own two Dodge Dakota's both 4x4 have not had any problems with either one. I have 152000 on an 2008. And the 2004 Dodge Dakota has 57000 miles on it no problems. I would and have recommended this truck to all that have inquired.

Dodge makes great vehicles.
I got my Dakota brand new in 2008 and it has been the best vehicle ever. I have never had any major mechanical problems with it and it is got almost 225, 000 miles! All around it is a great truck.

2008. No rust. Interior comfy cloth. Radio sounds like a system is installed
Small oil leak. Transmission issues. Changed twice. Rides rough. Feel every bump in the road. Shift hard. Leaks transmission fluid. Blows through gas extended cab not big enough for a little person. Good for a laboring work job. Has higher mileage and have changed every part imaginable on it. It's and old vehicle so these things are to be expected. Once parts were replaced now like a new truck but still rides rough. Not comfort for long distances

It seats six in the cab which is quite impressive especially for a truck.
This truck is very reliable it has very low miles and so far has had no problems. Occasionally it shifts a little hard when going up hill, but other than that the vehicle is flawless. The cosmetics are also in good condition. The vehicle does not chip easily maintains its shine as long as you occasionally wash it.

It's a small truck with a high punch.
The gas cap check engine light is on and won't go off. Truck runs fine. I love the truck. It is a blessing. Not sure what's wrong with the sensor. That's all I have to say. It gets good gas mileage and is completely comfortable. It is black and shiny had the windows tinted

It is a great truck if you do not want a full size truck!
I like how comfortable it is in the driver seat. It has been fairly reliable. Dislike it is not the smoothest ride.

I bought it used from a neighbor and it worked out great. I love being able to move things around easily. I haven't had much trouble with maintenance, or failing parts. Overall it's a great car.
The most important thing is that it is great for moving large items.

My dependable Dakota, I love it!!
Roomy for a midsize truck, gets over 20 mpg, adequate power, 4 door, nice uncluttered interior and dashboard. Minimum repairs in first 100, 000 miles (power steering pump, differential gasket) very dependable and economical vehicle. I would recommend to anyone seeking a used truck. I expect to get 200, 000 miles from this Dakota.

Easy drive Easy to get around in.
The only problems I have had is putting a new battery in and having the oil changed. It rides real nice and easy to get around. Vary reliable. I have never had any major problems. I like the electric seat on the drivers side and being able to adjust the mirrors from inside. Would like to get a little better gas mileage.

The handling of the vehicle is great for a truck. Meaning the suspension.
I enjoy the room. I enjoy the safety features. I do not like the gas mileage.

Has been very reliable with very few needed repairs.
Has a powerful engine for towing. Smaller than a large pickup allows for easier parking. Has been very dependable for the 9 years that I have owned it.

Four wheel drive and lots of cab space.
Truck used to move wood. Hay and farm materials. 4 wheel drive makes it easy to go into the fields to feed cattle. Very good in snow and rough terrain. Eight cylinder motor provides the power and torch to go through muddy fields, extra cab space helps to have all the extras needed when working.
