Advertisements

The Dodge Dakota looks big. It looks nearly as big and tough as the full-size Dodge Ram. Moreover, in fact, it is big. It is the biggest pickup in the midsize class. It is also available with a V8. Moreover, its 7,050-pound maximum towing capacity is the best in the class. You might say Dakota is the midsize pickup with a full-size attitude with muscle to back it up.

It is also an easy to live with. Getting in is easy and the interior is comfortable and convenient, with controls that are easy to reach and operate. The rear doors on Crew Cabs open wide and it can accommodate six people. A new under-seat storage system for Crew Cabs provides useful cargo carrying capacity.
