1999 Dodge Dakota SLT review from North America
"If you want a performance truck at a cheap price buy this truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel system flush and clean at 75,000 miles.
Transmission rebuild at 77,596 miles, all though it was my fault.
General comments?
This truck is used mainly for racing in SCCA Solo2 and is prepared to Class E Street Prepared regulations and I regularly place within the top 5 in my class and within the top 25 over all. I love this truck and will definitely buy another on when the time comes to replace this one. Over all the acceleration was lacking when the vehicle was stock. The interior is very comfortable for a mid-size pickup.
