Used Dodge Dakota for Sale

This is the third truck of this series we have bought and it has had the best handling of any vehicle. They are all well balanced. They feel more like an older sport car than a pickup truck. The 2004 Dakota was the last available V8 made into a manual transmission that we could find. That was very important when we bought this vehicle. It was available by special order from the dealership, but it was on a showroom floor in Indiana. This was one of the last of this series that was available with those particular features. We had to wait for the dealer to locate this item in a showroom in Indiana and have it brought down to us. It was a combination that was worth more to us but we did get it at a discount from the original price being a floor model. We have taken this truck across the country, on quick trips and long hauls. It has brought us through a litter of puppies and our young daughter's entire life so far.

I like the Dodge Dakota, it is a great truck. It is very comfortable and well as durable. I have pulled a trailer loaded with over 3,000 pounds and the truck didn't have a problem at all.

I truly love the look of the 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab with the XLT package. I particularly love the styling of the wheel well protrusions, particularly for the front wheels. I love the look of the front grill. The truck's profile is pleasing to the eye. The particular truck I have was bought used, and the previous owner had the vehicle stripped of all identifying markers except the symbol that says "V8 Magnum." The clean look, dark tinted windows, spray on bed liner, lowered suspension, and premium alloy wheels give this truck a high-end look. I also love the practicality of the truck. As a father of five, the quad cab is much needed and often used. I found the back seat floor board to be surprisingly spacious. While one sacrifices some bed space because of the four doors, the bed space is adequate for most of my needs. Of course, I find myself using the truck bed constantly, and I am not sure how I functioned without it. The truck has had some mechanical issues over the years, certainly more than I am pleased with. I have replaced both 02 sensors twice, tie rods (in the process ruining two tires that should have still had a year or more of tread on them), then the entire steering system. I have also had to replace the water pump and all the hoses in that system. The compressor went out in the ac system. A year later, the evaporator went out. I have since been without AC as I have not had the money to get it fixed. The truck only has 160,000 miles on it, and really I am not pleased with the number and nature of the needed repairs.
