Great 4 cyl pickup
Bought new in '99, this truck has been great to me so far. It gets up to 26 mpg on the hiway and yet hauls anything I put in the back. I'm easy on vehicles and at 118K I'm still using the original brakes and am on the second set of tires. I went this year to buy another and discovered Dodge doesnt make the 4 cyl in the Dakota anymore. Such a shame! I just have to baby this one some more!

Don't Drive it in the Rain!!
As I titled it, no traction in the rain. As I approach 25K miles with the original Goodyear tires, what will help my traction in wet weather? Probably nothing. Even with weight in the back, still cuts loose with light pedal. Zero problems except the catalytic converter quit 2K ago. Replaced for free and a cheap glove compartment latch that broke the first week I had it.
Overall, an Excellent Pickup
I purchased my Dakota in November of 1998, and will be selling it just short of 70,000 miles. I do so not because I've been disappointed with the pickup, but because returning to college makes it necessary. I've averaged just short of 16mpg, at 15.9, with a short list of modifications. They of course helped with the power, also, so, they're a great investment. Intake, headers, new exhaust. Do it, you'll like the results.
Best Truck I ever owned
I loved the truck from the day I drove off the lot. Now 117K miles later I still feel the same. The catalyic converter went at 80K(warranty). A/C went at 115K ($875) which I paid because I still want to keep the truck. My brother works for GM, and I have a GM Card, but I still prefer my Dodge. I take care of my truck and my truck takes care of me.
