Positive Review
This is a 1999 extended cab, two wheel drive, 860,000 miles and has been a great pickup for me. I used it for both hauling and personal transportation long distance and short in town. Hauls med loads, box size is big enough for everything I haul, 8ft motor cycle (with tail gate down), 4x8 sheets of plywood.The ride is good and comfortable interior. Drawbacks; I have the 3.9 motor which is good for most things but lacks power for pulling med and larger trailers through the hills in the Black Hills. The paint started to fade at about 10 years old. No rust until about 12 years old, and once it started it went fast to all areas. Which is sad that the bode is falling apart but runs great. Gas mileage is fair 15 most of the time but as good as 21.

I bought this truck brand new it was rigorously maintained oil changes every 3000 miles your standard services etc I had to replace the first transmission @ 40000 miles and the second at 80,000 miles all done by the dealership have put in two starters and a alternator my instrument cluster works when it wants to and the dealership can't find the problem and recently it has developed a bad idling problem and half the time won't even start sometimes when I go it will stutter and not even want to move and misfire I have replaced the idle air control valve throttle position sensor air filter spark plugs wires and coil pack as well as the crankshaft position sensor and the fuel pump all which the dealership thought would resolve my problems so far nothing has worked I wouldn't recommend this truck to anybody in the world

I factory ordered my 1999 Dodge Dakota in October of 1998 and received it January of 1999 in Solar Yellow. There wasnt a whole lot of options to choose from, but let me tell you I had that truck for 22 years. I managed to mess up the transmission at 80,000 miles and had it repaired at a Dodge dealership. One other problem was the catalytic converter got plugged up and it was covered under warranty at 49,000 and change. I put a Gaylord Lid on it right after I bought it. Then my next purchase was chroming the wheels and caps man that really looked nice. I always garaged It. I changed the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. I keep it looking new until I moved Las Vegas where all the drivers in this state suck. I was born and raised in California and went to school with Steven Seagal at Buena Park H. S. I don’t Own this truck anymore, because I went into a diabetic coloma and recked it, but not to bad. The problem is I live in a HOA. I really loved that truck and now I’m driving a 2019 Tacoma 4x4 offroad manual 6 speed so that’s my new build and it was made in the USA, San Antonio TX. As far as my Dakota that truck would Still light up the tires at 118,000 miles. My last set of tires was Michelins and they worked the best for all around tires. The Goodyears about 26,000 miles and a quite sticky tire for handling. I got a lot of Good comments on my Dakota. Never owned such a very good truck. If I still had it I would have probably have a new Hemi in it. That’s what you call the need for speed. The Magnum motor doesn’t even compare and the way I see it is it would have made a good candidate for the engine swap.
I purchased my 99 Dodge Dakota sport in 2003 with 52 k miles on it, so after 23 years and the thing has 270,425 Miles on it and is still running strong. Never really had any major problems with it. Just routine maintenance and I like to replace a part before it breaks. Prevents bigger problems. In my 43 years of driving I have never been more satisfied with a vehicle.
never gave me a price, filled out the form, entered the information, i did not want to open an account , so when i hit the button to get an estimated trade in value, the program gave me a bib blank, just more offers to request a cash offer, which i clicked on and gave me nothing and the asked about a donation and it gave me nothing, so thank you for the nothings

I bought this used Dodge Dakota truck in 2010 with 34k miles on it. Today it has 56k and it runs beautifully. I regularly maintain it. No dings and in perfect condition. I am wondering how much I can sell it for should I want to do that. Any ideas?
barely got this vehicle it haves over 216k miles and it runs pretty good, runs good in winter, first problem i had was the heat sensor but it’s no big deal if you know what your doing, other then that i love this car, once i save enough money im getting my hands on a 2011 dakota!

I owned my 2000 Dodge Dakota SLT for 22 years and put over 100,000 miles on it. The truck was bulletproof. Never had any major problems. I just traded it in for 1999 Dodge Dakota SLT with 81k. These trucks are awesome.
Reliable, parts are plentiful and easy to replace,
No frills, gas is much more expensive now
I've had this truck for twenty years. It is reliable. I've seen Toyotas needing something fixed or replaced six and eight times more often than this Dakota. Of course, it has fewer things that can go wrong like power windows, etc. Still, this truck is extremely reliable. And the resale value is just a little less than what I paid for it.
