Since 1987, the Dodge Dakota has always been a “just right” sized truck, slotting in between full-size and compact pickup trucks. The Dakota offers one of the few V8 engines in its class and continues to carry on the tough, rugged tradition of the larger Ram 1500. Available in either extended or crew cab, the Dakota provides a rugged and comfortable cabin with seating for up to six passengers. The Dodge Dakota comes with a lifetime powertrain warranty and gets an estimated 18-20 mpg on the highway.
