This truck has been amazing since I bought it. I have never had any major issues. I live in a cold climate and it has never let me down no matter how cold. It rides great and has good power for towing with the V6. The air conditioner is cold and I have had very little problems with it. Great heat and its insulated well. It pulls a heavy trailer, boat, or jet ski with no problem. I even filled the back with wood, helped people move and never had any power issues. There is plenty of storage under the seats and also plenty of leg room. The engine is easy to access and work on. I have replaced a few things over the years. I was easily able to do any work on my own with plenty of space. Maintenance cost was very low and parts are easy to come buy. I did my cap and rotor and all 6 plugs for under $30. The wires were only about $20 and didn't need replaced until much later. Overall this is a solid vehicle for people who are hard on vehicles like me. It will take anything you throw at it and then some. Give it a try. You'll love it.

The best thing about my Dodge Dakota is that I have the model with four doors so you get all the room of a car but the utility of a truck. I got the plush model so it is like a pleasure vehicle but yet it can be a workhorse as well. Really and all-use truck.
