1998 Dodge Dakota R/T review from North America
"Power and style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong since I have owned it.
General comments?
Dakota R/Ts are fast for a truck. I have never had any problems in the 10,000 miles I put on it.
With the 5.9 V8 I get about 12.5 in the city or 250 miles on a 20 gallon tank.
Lots of torque, but not a truck for work.
Comfortable interior, and I am 6'3.
It sounds awesome with headers and exhaust.
It handles great.
I would buy another one.
