1996 Dodge Dakota Sport club cab review from North America
"Take care of it properly and it will never die"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter went out at around 90.000 miles.
General comments?
I have used this little v-6 to haul concrete statuary loaded to the max and at the same time a trailer loaded with concrete, it will pull any thing a 318 or 360 will I have previously owned dodges with the v-8's, also when not loaded with taller than stock tires, I have got over 20 miles to the gallon, this is the best truck I have ever driven and I plan to get at least 300.000 miles out of it, I change the oil every 3 to 5000 miles and change transmission fluid and filter every 20.000 the interior is perfect no rips or worn spots and the front end is still as tight as when I got it and it does not use any oil, enough said.
