2008 Dodge Dakota SXT Extended Cab pickup 4-door manual

Advertisements

The Dodge Dakota looks big. It looks nearly as big and tough as the full-size Dodge Ram. In addition, in fact, it is big. It is the biggest pickup in the midsize class. It is also available with a V8. In addition, 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.

The Dodge Dakota, a mainstay of the mid-size pickup class, and the only truck in its class to offer a V8 engine, provides nearly full-size truck power and capability, without the all the extra size.

The Dakota is available with the choice of two engines (3.7-liter V6 or 4.7-liter V8), three transmissions, two body styles, (extended cab or crew cab) two drive types (2WD or 4WD) and six trim levels. A coil-over-shock independent front suspension is utilized on all models, with conventional leaf springs at the rear. Front airbags and rear-wheel anti-lock brakes are standard, while side-curtain airbags and four-wheel anti-lock brakes are optional. Available sound system features include satellite radio, Alpine speaker system and the My GIG infotainment system.
