Overview & Reviews

The biggest change this year is design oriented -- the 2000 Dodge Dakota is now available with four full-size doors, and with that comes a family name: Quad Cab. A 4.7-liter V8 has been added, but the 8-foot bed is gone. You can select from five more colors as well.

• Four full-size doors, tons of interior room, great-looking pickup.

  Dont buy one of these(Unless its mine) - 2000 Dodge Dakota
  By GasHog - January 21 - 2:00 am

  The best fuel economy I ever saw was 11mpg on the highway on a several state road trip. The EPA claims 17mpg on the highway and a few less for the city. I could expect 7 to _maybe_ 8mpg on an average tank of mixed city/highway driving. This truck is supposed to be performance oriented. It is not very quick considering it has a 360cid engine and gets such lousy fuel economy. If you are in the market for a high performance truck, spend the extra money and buy a Ford Lightning (I dont even like Ford and am suggesting it over my Dodge).

  R/T = Real Fast - 2000 Dodge Dakota
  By kwood69 - January 10 - 2:00 am

  I had been waiting for a peformance trunk to come out for a few years, then when Dodge introduced the Dakota RT and it was featured on MotorTrends TV show I just fell for it. After driving one I finally broke down and bought one in 2000. Since then Ive modified the engine and the interior but this truck has been great since day one. I drag race in it, road race in it, and even place it in auto shows.

  Great truck after modifications. - 2000 Dodge Dakota
  By Stoney - January 8 - 2:00 am

  I bought this used with 32,000 miles on it. Its the 2000 Dakota SLT V8 4.7, all time 4x4 w/locking diffs. I like the all-time 4x4 because it grabs around corners, but you loose acceleration when starting from stopped position. This is a good truck as stock. OK power, and looks great. It will get you anywhere. A little costly on the gas. This truck with modifications is great. I changed air intake,put in headers, cat-backs, and a mod-chip, and its STRONG! Also get 1-2 miles per gallon more, when Im not flooring it. Theres a new magnum V8 HO engine in the Dakotas that puts out more power. I would look into a Dakota with this engine if I was looking to buy.

  By FRobyne - December 31 - 2:00 am

  I have very good luck with this vehicle. It is reliable and fun to drive. It is actually more comfortable to drive than my car. I have not experienced any mechanical, electrical or structural integrity problems. The only faults of this vehicle are the lack of power and the bad fuel economy of the 3.9 ltr V6 engine.

  Nice Truck.....Terrible Gas Guzzzler - 2000 Dodge Dakota
  By DAKOTA - December 21 - 2:00 am

  Bought me truck 1 year ago. Except for a few warranty claims for wiper switch and both sway arms in the back going it has been a great truck to drive. I have put 30,000 kms on it (canadian eh) and have had fun doing it. Down fall however has been the gas mileage. I dont drive hard and still get terrible gas mileage????????? I drive a lot of highway now and am seriously considering getting rid of it for better gas mileage...too bad i like the truck.

  Unique and Hard To beat - 2000 Dodge Dakota
  By BestinNaperville - October 29 - 2:00 am

  Have had for 3 years. Love this vehicle. There isnt anything much faster on the road for both passing and off the line car or truck. A Viper beat me once. Engine is just now breaking in, so it is even smoother after 3 years. Gas mileage could be better, but SUVs are much worse. Intense Blue will make this a collectors vehicle some day. Was hard to find and very few built this way. Quality is better than I expected. Dealer has taken care of any problems, and is very courteous. Could use a better left foot rest for long drives. 4WD is awesome in snow ! And great in rain.

  Best PICK UP around! - 2000 Dodge Dakota
  By Bobby Mac - September 25 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle is the absolute most funnest vehicle to drive. It is fast, looks great and performs well in any situation. The insurance is relatively cheap and I dont even mind paying $45- $50 for a tank of gas (Canadian Dollars).

  Excellent Truck - 2000 Dodge Dakota
  By skitch - September 23 - 2:00 am

  Great truck from day one. Ive had no problems and have had the truck off- road on several occasions. Like most reviewers, the gas mileage is not the greatest but the 4.7L V8 engine will get up and get you going when it needs to. Creaks in the front suspension on occasion but thats the norm for 4WD vehicles. Highly recommended truck.

  My New truck - 2000 Dodge Dakota
  By francyfree2 - September 13 - 2:00 am

  This is a very good looking truck and feels good to drive. It also is very comfortable. But so far there are two drawbacks. Highway gas milage is averaging out to at the most 16 mpg. We were told by the salesman that it had a towing package and could pull our lightweight 22ft. prowler travel trailer. But when we come back from the oregon coast which are small hills it over heats on us. Now we are afraid to take a trip where there are real mountains. So that is our delima.
