It is a safe car to put your children in.
Very dependable. Bought it used and still do not have any problems from it besides a computer piece that was easily replaceable. Only complaint is gas mileage but it is a truck.

Great utility truck for outdoor activities!
The dodge dakota drives like a car. Spacious in the front and back. The long bed in back is perfect for camping, shopping, and home projects. Overall great utility! . No problems with our truck, however we do keep it maintained. Impressed with the factory radio and speakers.

Dodge Dakota pickup truck.
This is a Dodge Dakota pickup truck. It is a good truck and has helped us with moving some stuff for family members. It has extra seats in the back cab that can be removed if you need it. The colors is white, with bluish/gray seats. It does well in traffic. It is comfortable for the most part. I like the sliding seat adjusters, either forward and back or the seat back support can recline.
