1998 Dodge Dakota Sport review from North America
"A smaller truck than most, but will out class most too!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front bumper is a little rusted.
Right now I currently need to fix the Ball Joints and the inner tie rod sockets.
A piece of molding that holds the electrical windows into the door broke, so I bought a new molding piece from the Dodge dealer here in town.
General comments?
I love the awesome power that this 5.2L puts out.
This truck is almost unsinkable if you have the big engine and the 4x4 like I have.
I have 32x11.50 All-Terrains on the stock rims right now, but I want to go to a 33x12.50. However I just found out that there are not many rims available to fit this truck without having to have the rims custom made to fit it. That sucks because that will cost me a lot more money to have this done on top of the lift kit that I will need to purchase.
If I ever found another one that I liked better i. e less miles, than I would buy it in a sec.
I love this truck!!!
