Local Trade, SLT Quad Cab 4x4 Pickup, 4.7L V8 Engine, Trailer Tow, Rear Sliding Window, CD Radio, Power Seat, Keyless Entry! The Dodge Dakota is the perfect size for many pickup truck consumers; it's not too small or too big. Formerly a modest midsize pickup, the Dodge Dakota has grown into a pretty formidable truck. The Dakota sports aggressive big-rig styling lifted from the full-size Ram. The Dakota has a crisp, attractive interior design with simple, easy-to-reach controls and ample storage and cup holders. The 4.7-liter V8 Engine makes 302 hp and 329 lb-ft of torque. The Dakota is aimed at pickup truck drivers who want to use their truck for work and as a daily driver, but do not want to spend the extra money for a full-size pickup's towing capability or the accompanying pricey optional features. For this purpose, it works well, and those smitten with its muscular style will no doubt be happy with a purchase.
