2001 Dodge Dakota Sport review from North America
"Great performance... poor ride quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I really have not experienced any problems as of yet.
Only minor problem was faulty clamp on radiator hose.
I also think Dodge could have found a better choice of tires to put on this truck. (16" Goodyear Eagle LS)
General comments?
This truck offers excellent performance. It's the 2 door, short-bed with the 4.7L, 3.92 tru-trac. I put the K&N kit on it and it made a substantial difference in mid-range power.
The main problem with this truck is the ride quality. It's like riding in a truck with no suspension. It's almost impossible to ride and try to drink something without spilling it everywhere.
