4.7L V8 MPI and 4WD. Oh yeah! Yes! Yes! Yes! Creampuff! This charming 2005 Dodge Dakota is not going to disappoint. There you have it, short and sweet! It's the combination of advanced design and precision engineering that gives the Dakota the pinned-to-your-seat acceleration. New Car Test Drive called it ...smooth and quiet...steering is light for easy maneuverability in crowded parking lots and the Dakota responds quickly on mountain roads and tracks nice and straight on the highway...
