The four-door SXT Crew Cab offers a roomy cabin, with seating for up to six passengers and 37 cubic feet of space, so no one will feel cramped inside.

The 2008 Dodge Dakota SXT Crew Cab sports an updated, more-aerodynamic front end, with a new hood, grille, headlights, and front fascia. Other exterior features include a dual-position tailgate, which enables the Dakota SXT Crew Cab to carry extra-long cargo.

A 210-horsepower, 3.7-liter Magnum V6 engine, designed for improved fuel efficiency, powers the Dakota SXT Crew Cab. The engine comes equipped with Electronic Throttle Control, which provides improved throttle response for better acceleration and lower emissions. A six-speed manual transmission comes standard, while a four-speed automatic can be added as an option. Antilock brakes and traction control are among the other standard features.
