Pretty good truck overall. Average 19- 20 mpg with no load and city/hwy mix. With load drops to 17-18 mpg. Has a good ride but wind noise has picked up over time. Ignition module went out at 40000 just over warranty ($400). I really enjoy the truck overall. I was at the dealer and talked about trade for kicks. The V-8 is undesirable over the V-6 even though you only gain 1-2 mpg with the V-6. The V-8 has the power to haul and get you on the road as the V-6 was a dog to me.
Great truck

Handles great and is fun to drive. Not to mention I'm getting better fuel economy than what is on the sticker (just over 21)

Bought it with 133k on the odometer and it has rust blisters but nothing major. It is a good truck the 3.7 is under powered in my opinion but reliable workhorse and the automatic beefy transmission with 4 wheel drive is perfect. Two major complaints. Bed size is 6.5 feet and noisy at highway speeds. Other than that they are good trucks with or without a ton of mileage

I have a 06 club cab 3.7l v6 4speed automatic. I had to replace transmission, the main wiring harness from computer to engine has always been a weak link(connectors & grounds), and by all means it doesn't have much power at all. Transmissions are extremely weak, the engine is fairly dependable but valve seals are a defect begins smoking and burning oil at 75,000 miles. The truth about gas mileage, mine has NEVER been able to go over 10-12 mpg city, 14mpg highway, on its best days. If you're looking for a dakota, I highly recommend the 4.7v8. I know someone with one and it pulls like a champ. Same gas milage though (that's dodge for ya). Overall the 3.7l v6 engine itself is fairly dependable but not strong, while the transmissions are junk (4speed)

I've had my Dakota since it was new, and I love it. I've also customized it so that makes it more fun to drive. Subs, 20" wheels, cold air, flowmaster, you know the whole package. I go big, LOL. I always get compliments on the looks and it drives well. Power can be added though. Even with cold air intake and flowmaster, still have issues. Nonetheless, great truck!
