curious, any personal pros and cons for this truck ? purchasing one in april, 11-12 grand ish. thoughts ? mileage from 80-160,000.

the only thing I've come across is people say the front breaks give early, or thats where a con lies.

2006 Dakota reviews

cons- everyone in a real truck is having more fun

transmission in them is shit. terrible gas mileage. i would pass on a dodge truck.

its always fun driving a 1/4 truck having the same motor & power as a 1/2 or 3/4 ton.
plus with a leveling kit, some overloaders & 31's or 33's you sit pretty much just as high as a regular truck.

i loved my old dakota, but it was 12 years older then the one ur looking at lol

haha shit eh, well i plan to raise it and get bigger wheels and rims but probably not 30 + i dono yet xD

Please don't

Very susceptible to rust if you live up north. Like painfully so.

Used to have a 2005 dakota ,parents have it now.
its nearing 100k miles and still going strong with zero major issues, gas mileage sucks as with most trucks.


also if you live in the midwest you'll get looks from the white trash inbred retards that think if its not a diesel its not a real truck.
Like 90% of the guys raised here think that way.

if you gave them the choice between a 1995 rusted up diesel truck with liftkit and smokestack VS a 2013 m3 they would all take the diesel. I hate the midwest and their god awful taste.

They will clear 31s stock. Miiight have to gve the torsions a small turn. 33s with overloaders is a done deal
