1999 Dodge Dakota R/T review from North America
"A street light brawler!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump broke.
Recall for rear brake lines, dealer replaced.
Tires wear, quickly replaced at 24,000 miles.
General comments?
The regular cab R/T handles very well and accelerates even better, very fun to drive.
Gas mileage is a problem at 12mpg around town, but the extra money spent on gas is well worth it.
