This truck has been a steady workhorse for several years. It gets better gas mileage than average for a truck and is pretty cheap to maintain. The more stuff you put in it, the better it handles as well, due to the mixed hydraulic/spring suspension - it handles really tightly.

Overall, the Dodge Dakota served me well for about five years. It was a solid piece of machinery that didn't let me down and made multiple cross-country road trips. One of the dislikes I had about it was its fuel consumption.
