My Best Friend - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By Beach Driver - March 31 - 3:31 pmI bought this truck a little over 2 years ago, and Ive put over 40K miles on here without a hiccup. Ive lifted it put 33/12.5 on here and have never got her stuck I call her my best friend for the fact it has never let me down, it doesnt matter if it is -40 or 110 degrees she still started. The only only thing Ive ever had to do is change a rear seal in the tranny no big deal seeing that it only cost me 6 bucks. Im gonna drive her till the wheels fall off and when that happens Ill probably just fix it. NUMBER ONE TRUCK

The best purchase Ive ever made - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By jp - May 19 - 1:52 pmBy far, very little will compare with my truck. Its got 177,000 of hard miles and its still going strong. Brakes last forever, same clutch. Other than a water pump, radiator and a belt, it all still original. Ironically, the biggest flaw I found with the truck is the gas gauge went at 95,000 miles and I have to use the trip odometer to know when to get gas (the gas light still works).

Old Faithful - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By Dave - March 4 - 12:39 pmI purchased this truck in march of 08. Its the best $900 ive ever spent. The 318 gives you power on demand but does get about 12-14 mph. The 4x4 gets you anywhere and out of anything. Interior styling does show it age but ive seen alot worse. Im six foot tall and having a regular cab does cramp me against the steering wheel. Having the tilt wheel option does offer some additional leg room. Exterior design is good. Typical truck style for the mid 90s. The ride quality is great. Very smooth over speed bumps and rail road tracks. This truck will make the ford 150 guys jealous.

Love It - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By AjL05_06 - September 30 - 12:14 amI fell in love with this truck when I first drove it. My dad bought it in 05 from a friend and he gave it to me in 08. Only had a few problems but those were just from constant break ins and worn cheap parts. Mine fortunately came with a 5.2L V8 but it is light in the back so all that horsepower is useless in winter. Ive done just about everything with this truck from racing to towing and even further and this truck has proven itself tough even for its age. even though mine is starting to fall apart for lack of body maintenance, Im gonna be sad when it dies or when I have to sell it. people off the street have actually offered me 15K for it but I turned them down, Im keeping this truck

Best vehicle Ive ever owned - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By rhapsodyfreak - June 5 - 11:58 amI was a truck driver for a while in the US Marines and despite all of the Humvees and other bog trucks I drove and performed maintinance for, no vehicle has ever been as reliable to me as this vehicle. It has never let me down in the few years Ive had it and believe you me has it endured many things since then, several wrecks and off-roading, and overall abuse it still runs magnificent. In spite of all of this, it is fast and comfortable. The only thing bad in my opinion is the fuel economy isnt the greatest and it contains only about a 10-12 gallon fuel tank. The stereo it comes with is loud and many other factory or stock items are very nice for such an old vehicle.

Needs some fixing - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By chad - March 8 - 2:03 pmMy vehicle has many miles and has gotten me through some deep mud. I live on a farm and I always have to drive through the mud. Even though I dont have four wheel drive it manages well in the mud and snow with sand bags in the back. She runs excellent.

Tough Tittle Dodge - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By tarfee - August 16 - 9:55 pmThis truck is just the right size for me. I drive my full size truck very little now. The Dakota is comfortable and drives well. It has a real seat in the extended cab a real plus to other smaller trucks. The body is rock solid and tough. Keep the touch up paint handy however or the paint will fly off. I have had no mechanical problems. The transmission is like most Dodges, it shifts down very often even will just a light load. One of my favorite trucks to own.

Great Old Truck - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By FourDakotas - March 14 - 8:24 pmI purchased it with 165K miles two years ago. Truck had been neglected and vandalized prior, but has never failed us in 14K miles. 3.9 L still uses no oil, drives fine, just a great, dependable truck. It has lived a hard life before I bought it, and has some rust. But here in Michigan, most of the 93 S-10s and Rangers are rusted away, and the 93 Japanese pickups were rusted away and worn out years ago. Where does JD Power get these "2 of 5" mechanical ratings? These trucks are bulletproof--at least all four of mine have been. One more reason to Buy American--or at least try something other than GM junk before you send your hard earned GDP to Asia.

The medium truck that could - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By Robert Dunbar - February 23 - 2:54 amI 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.

quality - 1993 Dodge Dakota
By LAWNMOWERMAN - September 15 - 2:00 amI 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.
