Review

I have owned three 4x4 Crew Cab Dakotas and this is my first Laramie. I love the comfortable leather heated seats, but what I love the most is the ride. This 2009 model gives the best ride of the past three that I have owned. The 4.7L engine has excellent power. I purchased the Mopar aftermarket tonneau cover and believe it has helped with gas mileage. I get 22 MPG on highway and 18 MPG going back and forth to work which is a 50 mile journey round trip. This is the best gas mileage I have had in any of my past Dakotas and also the best ride. The ride is smooth and really compares to the plush ride of a good car. Topping it all off is the premium sound delivered by the Alpine system.

Favorite Features

I enjoy the crew cab, 4x4, premium Apline sound system, heated seats, plush ride, good gas mileage for a V8 4x4, and the stylish features of the Dakota.

Suggested Improvements

The only improvements I can think of would be driver and passenger temperature control.
