1987 Dodge Dakota review from North America
"This truck is GREAT!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had to replace the alternator, all 3 belts, 2 hoses, bed, master cylinder, idler pulley, and water pump.
General comments?
This truck has been a great first truck for me.
This truck is very easy to customize. I have put dual exhaust, K&N air filter, roll panel, headers, bed rails, and new 16 inch rims and low profile tires.
This truck gets horrible gas mileage.
This truck would be easy to switch to a big 318 or 340 V8.
