2000 Dodge Dakota SLT review from North America
"A fast truck, great off road and a step up from a small truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Cruise control didn't function when I left the dealer. I had to have it fixed three times before they got it right. The Front brake piece jammed up, and was replaced by dealer. The tires that came with the truck worn down quickly just purchased 4 more recently, what an improvement.
General comments?
A nice truck, quick and reliable so far for me. The V8 engine was a good option and the skid plates and pois rear end help off road. A stiff ride like an off road only truck on any of the cities' street pot holes. I would not purchase any thing, but the V8 version of this truck. Check the options of the truck you purchase and make sure they match your driving needs.
