  • The medium truck that could - 1993 Dodge Dakota
    By -

    I bought this truck about a year ago. I am very pleased with the truck overall, it really can haul with the Magnum V8. The only problems Ive had was a wire that wore through to the transmission, but I fixed that no prob, and a transmission oil leak. The factory sound system was pretty much shot, so I replaced it. It has a silly slide out cupholder on the passengers side of the dash, and the center console is poorly made. If you have one, put at least 30 inch tires on it, it looks like its been lifted two inches for a few bucks.

    I bought this truck to haul my lawn mower and to do cleanouts for my business. I wanted some thing that had enough power to haul a fully loaded trailer with the bed full as well. This truck has not let me down. Its big enough not to be to small and small enough not to be to big. With a V-8 and 4wd there is little this truck will not handel. The only negitave aspect is the gas mileage but I guess you cant have it all. I now have 207k miles on it and have only had to preform general mantinence. I will buy another when, I mean if this one ever wears out.

    Bought car used, had 2 initial, under warenty problems that were corrected satisfactorly. At 125K miles had engine replaced due to bad oil consumtion, rear oil rings and cam pitted. New long block ok, but bad MPGs. Truck has been really great none the less. Have fun on the 4x trails, and she keeps ticking.

  • Midsize Truck......Large Size Usefulness - 1993 Dodge Dakota
    By -

    This vehicle used by me and family members as a nice work truck. Bed is large enough for all our needs, including carrying a 42" riding mower. Paint still shiny after 10 years. Love the pep of the V8...dislike the gas mileage! Cant have it all! Trim and power functions make it a comfortable, if rougher, ride than desired. The truck has done its job and more.

    My Dakota is a 4x4 extended cab with a locking shell over the bed. It is the 3.9L V6 and 5 Spd manual tranny. I have used it as a work truck for my Handyman business and as a 4x4 to explore reasonably tough 12 to 13000 Rocky Mountain 4 wheel drive passes. We have also used it to pull a 1500 lb poptop camping trailer over 7000 miles. That was a breeze! It has also been used in the business to pull heavily laden utility trailers. I once pulled our 3600 lb travel trailer for about a hundred miles to get it repaired. That was about 120% of what it could do well. that means that we were down to 2nd gear on a 3 mile 7% grade at about 25 MPH... Not fun...

  • IRON HORSE - 1993 Dodge Dakota
    By -

    I bought this truck NEW in 1993 and have owned it ever since. This Dakota is powerful, fun to drive and comfortable. The drivers seat is without a doubt the most comfortable seat(or chair) I own. I once drove this truck virtually non-stop from Taos New Mexico to my home in north Texas and I was pain-free & comfortable all the way (I have back problems). The Dakota has a deep throaty sound and has always had all the POWER I ever needed. About a year and a half into ownership, the rear end went out. The dealership replaced the rear end and U-joints---no charge. This is a GREAT TRUCK!

    Ive had dakota all up and down the west coast. On the road and off. I have "c" class 6ply all-seasons on factory mags. Other than a glass "Century" canopy,bed liner,$900.00 Aspen Stereo, my baby is factory stock. Maybe 2000 miles of my driving has been off road. I love to camp, hike and fish. Especially fly. Ive never been stuck. Ive never broken down. Ive plowed through snow deep enough I couldnt open my door to get out.

    Quality is good. Repair is moderate. But it runs good and has power and a smooth ride.
