1987 Dodge Dakota LE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A lot of little things, but that's to be expected with as many miles as mine had.
General comments?
I purchased the truck with 128,500 miles on it, and for a truck with that many miles on it, it performed great. I felt the V-6 was a little small so I encourage a buyer to look for a V-8 if the decrease in economy will not matter. I would also get a 5-speed manual or at least the override automatic.
Also with a lift and 32" tires they make excellent 4x4's. Trust me.
