Of less-than-full-size pickups the 2008 Dodge Dakota offers the most power and the largest interior. Its optional V8 makes 302 horsepower and gets better fuel mileage than last year’s V8. Real truck folks will love the new removable storage bins that stow under the Crew Cab’s rear seat.
The Dakota is not a "little" pickup. It’s about as big as some full-sized pickups once were. Unlike some other smaller pickups, the Dakota does not offer a budget version with a four-cylinder engine and a single-row cab.
