2003 Dodge Dakota SLT Plus review from North America
"Overall, I am very satisfied with trucks performance, abilities, and options"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had one of the fog lamp bulbs replaced, the dealer replaced it since it was still under warranty.
Other than that I have not had any problems with this vehicle.
General comments?
This truck has all of the bells and whistles - Leather seats, power seats, Auto-dimming rear view mirror, power mirrors, 6 speaker performance series stereo, Radio controls on the steering column, mileage computer, digital compass and outside temperature, Towing package, transmission cooler, and heavy duty battery.
Everything works great!
The 4.7 engine is very responsive and strong. The body of the quad-cab truck is very solid and quiet.
The road feel is very nimble like riding in a luxury car. The only hard feel is when I go over a speed bump, but I do not feel every little bump in the road.
I like the level of the truck, even my grandmother can ingress and egress the cab with little effort.
The gas mileage is good on the Highway (Approx. 19), city driving suffers at about 14-15 miles per gallon.
