1997 Dodge Dakota 4x4 Club Cab review from North America
"A four wheeler's dream and a chick magnet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only things that have gone wrong with my truck are the water pump after 60,000 miles and my constant velocity joint was tweaked due to off road activities.
One other thing happened. The adapter bracket on the brake system broke off, also due to playing in the dirt.
General comments?
All and all I can't say enough good things about my truck. I love it. The large engine provides more than enough power for any four wheeling adventure.
This truck turns a lot of heads due to about 7 inches of lift and 35 inch mud tires. Because of the tires and the lift the ride suffers and so does my gas mileage, but for what I do with it, it is well worth it. I would recommend this truck anyone.
