Best truck I have owned to date.
The only problems I've had is a water pump and oil leak around seal at the cooling fan. I've heard this is common on the 4.7 liter after 100,000 miles. It has plenty of power and room for the kids. I have 157,000 miles right now and going strong. I would recommend this truck to anyone.

The Dakota is a great truck.
It is a pretty nice truck overall and for anyone that wants a truck but not the giant truck look then the Dakota is good. It is pretty strong in the winter and holds a lot in the bed. I rebuilt the tranny at 130 thousand miles but that is really for most cars or trucks.

Dakota lives on after a few dings.
Tough truck. It has had a few dings and I have had to make no major repairs. Received the truck in 2012 and it had already been put through a lot. I love the manual. Not to many people can drive them anymore and it is very easy to do. Looking for another vehicle but this one will be my favorite.

Safety comes first. It has a GPS tracking system in it - should we ever be carjacked - no problem! We and/or the vehicle can be located.
Haven't had it very long. Love the color! Love the fact that it has a 2nd set of seats that face forward. So far there are no complaints and nothing I don't like. It runs good; and not too bad on gas.

2011 Dodge Dakota Big Horn. Very Roomy and Comfortable
Terrible gas mileage, about 11-12 miles to the gallon, city driving. To be expected from a pick up through. Large and roomy. I have around 85 k miles on it, brakes need to be repaired every 2 years. It does fish tail a bit on rainy days with the rear wheel drive. No MAJOR issues so far, just the power steering pump and 1 ball joint replacement. The rest have been maintenance issues, ie brakes, tires and AC recharge.

It is reliable. It is a smooth ride and performs well for long trips.
It is roomy inside, drives well, does not need a lot of maintenance. A bit large for my preference though from front to back, making it hard to see when backing up.

Comfortable daily driver and light duty pickup.
My 2010 dodge Dakota St is a very plain model, yet I think it is a good truck. It is comfortable and rides like a car. The Dakota is mostly reliable except for a rather weak transmission. Avoid any heavy hauling or pulling because the transmission will not perform well and may suffer damage.

It gets me from place to place safely and dependably it runs well.
I like my vehicle because it is big enough 4 me 2 take everything I need to the places I need to go and it is roomy enough 4 large groups of people to ride in comfortably I dislike my vehicle because all the air conditioning vents do not work correctly and it does not have a working stereo.

That is a safe truck to own
It is safe. It is a nice truck. It runs well
accountCircle Stacy Q on January 18, 2021
It's safe on the road and insurance isn't an issue
It has been a good truck with no major problems. I've had to do basic maintenance and replace the air conditioning system but that's all

Reliable and priced right. Does everything you need a midsize truck to do.
I have not had any problems with my Dakota since I bought it last year. It drives fine but does lack a little power in the v6 model. The 6 foot bed is really nice too. The ride can be a little rough sometimes. The inside is very comfortably, and has storage for all your stuff.

Easy and comfortable to drive.
This truck belonged to my dad first, and I have had no problems with it. It is roomy, comfortable to drive, and easy to handle. I have driven it both in town (to and from work, appointments, and running various errands) as well as driving it out of town several times. It is a joy to drive, with good heat and a/c as well as charging ports and auxiliary port. My son also loves it, even though he has to use the step to climb up into it.

Big horn edition beautiful red.
Bought it from a private seller told us only one thing was wrong had to fix about seven other things. All in all it is a good truck it is a beautiful red and it is a big horn edition. It is a nice truck with cold ac and hot heat. New tires around. Oil was just changed.

Low maintenance as far as large expensive fixes have not happened in two years
Nice reliable truck drives good in dirt off road. Struggles a little in snow. Overall I would recommend

The new headlights feature that I added to my car is very nice!
I love the suspension on the vehicle. Great air support. Wonderful wheels on the car. Glistening chrome on the wheels. Love the tire rims. Very comfortable on the inside. Enjoy the performance of the vehicle. Like driving fast on the road. The vehicle is very reliable because it gets me home and to work. My only option of transportation. Added extra features on the car like added larger wheels on the car. Added a back tail to the car. Added different color bright blue lights on the car for when I drive at night.

Dodge Dakota are great trucks.
This is my 4th Dakota, it is very comfortable, runs great, will work for me, as I hope this is my last, I found this one with 70.000 on it, work out some things, v6, they only get about 17mpg, Dakota's are fun trucks to drive, have good power, great 4_ wheels.

It's fast and it is dependable I haven't had any problems with engine
I love it. But it does not get good gas mileage.I do like the fact that I can use flex gas.
accountCircle Dana S on September 22, 2020
Amazing dodge to own, don't miss out buy a dodge!!
So far no problems. Performance is amazing, picks up speed extremely fast!! Has 4 doors absolutely love. Get ok gas mileage. Heat & air conditioner work amazingly. Very comfortable to ride in, even on long trips. If needed back seat is big enough to lay down on & sleep.
accountCircle Trinity P on September 4, 2020
Huge helpful truck, I highly recommend.
I really like the big wheels and how huge it is. If you are in a environment with mountains, it'll work really well. It is definitely not a truck for everyone. It is definitely comfortable to an extent. I recommend only if you live in the environment for it.
accountCircle William P on August 21, 2020
This truck has been one of the toughest trucks I have ever had. Big enough to take the family, but not too big to cause problems while driving iit.
It's totally dependable and will never let you down.
accountCircle Leslie D on August 19, 2020
Tough truck, great pickup truck.
It is a great pick up. Only minor issues, such as recall for airbags, it was easily fixed. Blown fuse for radio which is the only fuse we've blown and it was easily replaced. It is a tough truck, I just wish I bought the fully loaded version. I highly recommend this vehicle.

Built in foldable boxes under back seat for extra storage.
Good comfortable vehicle with built in storage and good towing capabilities! This is a very good truck if you are looking for a all in one package I for recommend the 4x4 package over a two wheel drive! Very good little truck for drivers of all ages! Yes!
accountCircle Steph R on July 13, 2020
I have a pretty good vehicle.
I haven't had much to happen to my vehicle except the normal things. Battery change tire change things like that. The only out of the norm is I am going to have to get a paint job soon, my vehicle has started to rust a little in spots. I like my vehicle pretty much.

2010 dodge Dakota!! No real problems!!
This is an alright vehicle. It just has the regular things that need replaced so far. We have had pretty good luck with this so far. No major complaints or problems from it. Other than the driver seat got moved forward and got stuck. Something broke underneath of it.
accountCircle Florencio B on May 27, 2020
Falling apart because it was bit well taken care of.
I have many problems Edith the direction, steering wheel, suspension and oil leaks. Driving is uncomfortable especially during the summer when the head does something to my car that names or behave in a very rare way. Steering wheel is hard and direction but stable. I definitely have to look for a new car since this one is giving me too many problems.

2010 Dodge Dakota is not worth the money.
We bought the truck in 2012 from a used vehicle dealership. After driving it for only two months the transmission became stuck in second gear. We paid eighteen thousand dollars for this truck and the dealership would do nothing to help us. The driver's seat was very uncomfortable and caused my back to hurt. The stereo system is the only good thing about this truck.
accountCircle Eric Z on April 16, 2020
This vehicle has the power to pull a trailer that is maxed out to capacity and still provide a nice drive that keeps up with the flow of traffic.
This vehicle looks great. It has a V8 engine, AWD, over 100K miles. It has a roomy interior with a captains chair style seating and with 2 back fold down seats. It is a short bed that has a retractable bed cover that is a hard top. Recently I have been having issues with the radiator fill cap coming off for no reason. I have also had the steering wheel lock up and has made it quite difficult to get the truck started.

My vehicle is a four wheel drive dodge Dakota.
I love my dodge Dakota it has not ever given me any problems besides normal maintenance I have only had to replace brake pads and I replaced the battery. Other than that I haven't had to do any major repairs and don't foresee any in the upcoming future.
accountCircle Jimmie B on January 25, 2020
A lot of inside room - even in the back section where there are additional seats.
I have only owned it for 2 days and so far I love everything about it. A lot of legroom, smooth ride, good on gas, lots of compliments on the color and the looks of my truck.

Dodge Dakota Pickup Truck
I have been very pleased with my vehicle. It continues to perform well and we have not had any significant issues. Would definitely purchase again.
accountCircle Abigail H on December 30, 2019
It is easy to use and can fit 4 for the most part.
It is an older truck so, like any older car, it needs work on it every now, and then other than that though, it drives great and is easy to use. It only has two full seats and two half back seats so sometimes it is hard to rid 4 people if the people are bigger. It also has a bad blonde spot but you can get used to it very easily. It is really not a hard truck to drive. I personally love it.

It's a decent truck for the price, the gas mileage for isn't bad, but it only a 6 cylinder.
It's a 2 door, extended cab, pick up. The back seat area is very small, my grandkids can barely sit back there at the same time.
accountCircle Beth B on October 28, 2019
It is old but it works. It is a blue minivan.
It is very reliable it has a good break. The engine never fails. The air conditioning is strong. They did a very good job making the car. The car is about eight years old yet it has kept up over the years. The seats are still very comfortable to sit on although would be better if they had seat warmers.
accountCircle Jim K on October 16, 2019
Rims and engine are amazing.
Usually have to replace a few things monthly which is harsh but love the vehicle runs amazing wouldn't trade it for anything. I love the sound of it and the v8 engine inside of it. I wish it had a better radio. The body is still in great condition no rust.

All in all a good truck, but need something larger and more comfortable
Pretty good on gas. Runs well, but seats are not comfortable and very little room for passengers especially if you need a carseat

To summarize my vehicle it is great in rough areas.
I really enjoy my car, it is huge and it gives me an advantage. I think it is a great car. Especially if you like to travel to rough areas. The car can definitely handle the roughness. When I was living in Alabama, it was really great. I think it is the best car for rough areas and not so even roads.

My truck has been wonderful for the projects on my house. It rides wonderfully and is a dependable vehicle. The only downfall is the gas mileage.
It's a great, mid size truck. And has a great V8. The truck can be a great truck for all.
accountCircle Ashley E on March 12, 2019
It's definitely not a family vehicle. It needs more room up front and bucket seats.
It needs more room in the cab. I also wish it got better gas mileage. I like the bed of the truck for hauling stuff and the camper we have on it. It handles well.
accountCircle Mary T on February 21, 2019
Small truck with a lot of power.
We love the truck, the extended cab is great for shopping or when we have our grandchildren. The bed is perfect for picking up lumber, sheetrock etc. We do not like the fact that whenever we want to work on it we have such difficulty due to its design.

2010 dodge Dakota bighorn. White 2wd 4 door.
I love my 2010 dodge. I think the back seats needs to be bigger. But the truck is not to bad on gas. I drive about 200 mil to and from work and the gas would last me about 3 days. Not bad for a dodge truck. I wish the parts did not cost a lot like they do.

2010 Dodge Dakota let me tell you how I love my truck!
Roomy cab with adequate leg room. Easy to clean interior and looks good. We bought our truck a year ago from the original owner who had loved this truck-we continued to do the maintenance of the truck and have had no mechanical issues at all! I would recommend this make and model to anyone who is looking for a mid size trick.

accountCircle Crystal F on December 14, 2018
Love my truck but as the same time has many problems.
Has had more than one problem that had led to the front ball joints to have to be change. With that I have also had to buy tires more than twice as fast as I would have had to normally. Which in the long run has cost me more money. At least once a year the front end will start making a knocking noise.
