1991 Dodge Dakota LE review from North America
"Best truck I have owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced oil sending unit in 1995 15,000 miles (approximate)
Had a Vacuum sensor replaced in 1995.
When it rains heavy, the passenger floorboard looks like a swimming pool.
Paint is finally starting to go (blue in color), Can't believe it lasted this long.
Transmission "bumps" a little when you first pull off.
General comments?
Mileage is actual (I don't drive it that much). Has been a very good truck. After 12 years, I expect things to go bad even though mileage is low. I have pulled a 6,000 lb boat and trailer up a boat ramp and about a mile up the road without a problem.
Overall, this truck has paid for itself and I hope to continue to drive it for 12 more years.
