  02 4.7 V8 Dakota - 2002 Dodge Dakota
  By DodgeDude - May 23 - 2:00 am

  For the money this is a great truck. Excellent power, rides great, comfortable, looks cool. That little 4.7 puts out some good ponies for that mid-size truck. Had 2 minor problems in the first couple of weeks, but the dealer fixed for free. Engine made a squealing sound like a loose belt, and air bag light came on. I find that most new cars go to the shop for minor fixes within the first couple of weeks anyway.

  Dakotas a hit - 2002 Dodge Dakota
  By dakotavol - May 14 - 2:00 am

  Second Dakota Ive owned, and Ill do it again, more than likely. This truck has the new 4.7 V-8, and although I hated to see the venerable 318 go away, the 4.7 is POWERFUL. Its got plenty of power to react quickly, even when pulling a boat, trailer, or other heavy load. Comfort is on a par with with most luxury cars, the ride is smoother than any truck Ive ever ridden.

  My Dream Truck - 2002 Dodge Dakota
  By ptarmagan - April 24 - 2:00 am

  I love everything about My Quad Cab except one thing, gas mileage. I average about 17 mpg but mostly city driving. I guess thats the reality of having a 4x4 truck. I have the 4.7 liter V8 and its sure fun to drive. Passing a slow moving vehicle on the road is quick and effortless. This is the only compact quad cab on the market that can sit four adults and one young one comfortably. The gas mileage is a small sacrifice for all the comfort and performance built in.

  The perfect truck has arrived... - 2002 Dodge Dakota
  By dakotadon - April 24 - 2:00 am

  Ive had this truck for 16 months and have enjoyed every one of my 22000+ miles. The 4.7L V8 gives it a sports- car feel when merging/passing at high MPH. The ride on pavement is smooth, yet it performs admirably off-road. I especially like those roomy flip-up rear seats. Im 64", and the only thing that makes me uncomfortable while riding in the back seat is the fact that Im not actually driving!

  4 DR Quad Cab 4WDR - 2002 Dodge Dakota
  By brandy66 - December 3 - 2:00 am

  I bought this truck in june of 2002 with the 4.7 engine and tow pakage. I have taken it hunting fishing and camping. Ive pulled my boat with it and have had no problems at all. It is grate for the family plenty of room in the back seat for two kids and room left over.The 4.7 is awsom chevy and ford dont make a small truck that can compare.I drive a mix of highway and city and get about 15.3 miles to the gallon with 3400 miles on the truck now. Iam hopeing this will get alittle better as I get more miles on it. I chose the dodge truck for a few reasons.Looks, Price the price is better than the ford or chevy.style, interior room. power from the 4.7 is great.

  4.7L Automatic 4x4 - 2002 Dodge Dakota
  By CAM - September 30 - 2:00 am

  The Dodge Dakota is a fun and functional truck. It has been great for moving friends and making home improvements. The interior is simple and functional. A little more interior design would go along way.
