Such a nice looking truck but to many issues.

Great looking truck. Gas mileage sucked. Front end was junk. No after market support. Very few sold in western states making it harder to find used parts. The computer in these trucks is a nightmare. You better have a good dodge mechanic.

Great truck in a small package

This truck is going to be great for me in my renovation business. It also drives easy like a car, so it will be easy to adapt too.

Great truck with lots of horse power/

Great vehicle for those who do not want a full size but want the power. Great off road vehicle with lots of interior space.

I love this car!

This car is one of the best cars I have owned! I bought it in 2014 and it is a 2006 truck and it still runs like I just bought it from the dealership yesterday! Very reliable and has been everything I have needed in a car!

Very dependable.

Needs more leg room for tall drivers, but it works for me. Back seats not really meant for adults although it works for smaller children, which was a problem at times. The MPG is not good at all. Since my children are all grown I really don't have a problem with this truck and mechanically I have had few problems. It was a good buy for me.

Very reliable never any issues

Obviously as the original owner I purchased it because of style and value. I previously owned two other Dakotas and I was impressed . I didn't want a full size truck and the Dakota was bigger than the competition
