1986 Dodge Dakota review from North America
"Amazing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I had the truck I had to change regular things such as air filter, spark plugs, oil filter, and fuel filter which were all done at 115,0000 miles. I had the alternator replaced at 118,000 miles. The owner before me had the engine rebuilt at 100,000 miles. I had knew tires put on at 119,000 miles. Minor scrapes and dents on sides, but not noticeable about ten feet away. The carburetor is now just starting to act up. I get about 11 miles per gallon.
General comments?
The truck runs great. It clearly goes over 85 which is how high the odometer reads. It never gives me problems when I try to start it up. I have not broke down in it. I can load up the bed with lots of weight and the truck doesn't seem to notice. It has a towing capacity of 55000 pounds which is more than most new trucks in its class such as Tacoma, rangers, and canyon, and Ridge line.
