Positive Review

"Hasn't failed me in 20 years."

I bought this truck new. It has towed a 24 foot travel trailer and then a 18 foot fishing boat in the mountains of northeastern California. Taken me hunting in north central Arizona and plowed through feet of snow in the mountains north of Lake Tahoe. Have had Chevy and Ford trucks and this is the best I have owned.

Critical Review

"Overall good truck"

these trucks are great trucks. General mechanical issues over the years. Dokotas generally have some sort of transmission issue when in the high milage due to that Overdrive feature on the automatic transmission. Some are also known for minor electrical issues. But the engines are solid. Its the dodge 318 block essentially just missing 2cyl to make it the v6. So a very goo work truck

Best darn truck ever
Pros

Reliable

Cons

Interior stuff tends to break

I bought a 1994 Dakota with darn near 300 thousand miles from a friend of a friend in 2006 or so. It never let me down. Was a sport with a magnum v6 cost me 400 bucks. I beat it senseless…. Sold it still running strong Fast forward to 2017… after horse trading for a 71 suburban that cost me 750 bucks to a 94 ford e 350 cargo van to a 95 f150 that caught fire 🔥 I got insurance money and traveled from Oregon to Idaho to buy my 95 Dakota with a magnum v8 and five speed for 4000 bucks. Still roasting tires and hauling a camper at 175000 Miles in 2023…. Better than your overpriced Toyota. Nuff said ☮️

Love it
Pros

Fun to Drive

Cons

Does a weird thing where it will only start in N.

There small little pickups that pack more of a punch then a ranger with their V8. Very fast to drive.

Great small truck.
Pros

Handling is good, power, and the looks.

Cons

Very light, can be dangerous

Great truck for being a smaller 2wd truck. Has some power, v6 and looks good also. The only thing it's a light truck so it can be dangerous.
