1999 Dodge Dakota Sport review from North America
"The best midsize truck for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ball joints and tie rod ends needed replacing as with all Dakotas, but this was done by the dealer.
General comments?
This truck has incredible torque and resonable horsepower. Off the line it will smoke any other midsizer. The seats are great and interior appointments are nice also.
