2003 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 review from North America

":-) Bad-ass"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Check engine light came on (15k) for something with the emissions system... they replaced a cracked hose and it went away.

1k later it popped up again, and they changed something in the evap system and it has stayed off since!

All work has been covered under warranty without issue! No rattles, shakes, noises, or issues!

General comments?

Incredible sensation to turn on the 4x4 mode when you're on the highway and it begins to pour like you're in a tropical storm. The truck glides on rails.

The interior is a little cramped since it's the standard cab, but if you don't have kids or cargo that's not worthy of the bed, you should make do!

It's as quick as could be with the 5 speed auto, and 4.7l V8... it keeps up if not passes people taking off at a light... from personal experience it keeps up with the new Mustang V8 from a standstill till 60mph... after that it's all downhill, but it's a truck, what more could you want?

I know 6 people with this truck, and other than minor things wearing out over time, the trucks have had few mechanical issues to deal with! A great buy!
