Overview & Reviews
For 2007, the Dodge Dakota adds some thoughtful new touches, like optional remote start and stain-resistant seat fabric. For added versatility, all Dakotas now have a standard dual-position tailgate. Mechanically, the truck is pretty much unchanged save for flex-fuel capability for the 4.7-liter V8 engine, which means it can run on gasoline or the E85 ethanol/gasoline blend.
- Strong engine lineup, available part-time or full-time four-wheel drive, impressive towing capacity, nimble handling.
- Uninspiring use of low-grade interior plastics, high price, no long-bed model.
