  • Old but strong - 1994 Dodge Dakota
    By -

    im 15 and this truck was my first car i bought it for 1500 on 11/12 with 156000 miles and counting. it has a pretty good sized rust hole in the passenger door and is kind of loud. the gas guage doesnt work and the paint is peeling on the roof but is no prob, this truck pulls like a fullsize truck and i average about 12 mpg in the city. it is faster than anything weve owned and is more roomy than our ranger or our old s10. i wouldnt get rid of it untill i die. if you are looking for a used truck for around 2500, this is what you should get! but dont get any of the second generation ones, there junk.

  • a very good all around truck - 1994 Dodge Dakota
    By -

    I bought this car cheap and its great. The interior design is good, with a large glovebox and wood panneling its very large and comfortable. The infinity sound system is ambient with nice base for stock. The V8 is powerfull but a bit slow on the takeoff. It has a lot of pulling power for the size of the truck. The 4WD is great.It got me out of a ditch in two feet of snow.The extended cab is larger than one would expect.Ive put 50,000 of its 143,000 miles on it and I havnt had any engine or transmission problems with it yet.(just ware and tare stuff like hood latches and brake callipers.) One of the most comfortable and reliable cars Ive ever owned for so low a price.

  • Extremely reliable! - 1994 Dodge Dakota
    By -

    I bought my 94 Dakota (w/3.9L V6) with 120,000 miles on it about 3 years ago, and have had absolutely no major problems. Im now up to 155,000 miles and still going great! Ive been very pleased with how reliable this vehicle has been. Im in Minnesota and have had it parked outside in well below zero temps and it always starts right up. Im no great car expert, but its been really solid for me. The paints been fine, too, unlike some reports Ive heard.

  • Surprised by high quality & performance - 1994 Dodge Dakota
    By -

    I bought this truck new in late 1993. It still just keeps going and going. Very few problems, quality higher than expected. Very good ride, more power than I need. Engine & transmission are still very smooth. I guess Ill have it another 10 years.

  • Great Truck! - 1994 Dodge Dakota
    By -

    I have owned this truck since I bought it new in 2/94. It originally cost around $15,000 and I have gotten so much value for that expense. Aside from replacing tires and the battery, this truck has been amazingly reliable. I have had NO major problems. I will continue to strongly endorse this truck and believe my recommendation has caused the purchase of at least 10 Dodge trucks among friends and family.
