2000 Dodge Dakota SLT 4 door 4x4 review from North America

The paint job sucks, it is so bad I have asked for a new truck, not sure if I will get one or not but I'm hopeful. There is thin paint all over the place, tail gate, all the door jambs, on the driver's door, and along the bottom of the whole truck in almost every body line that is inboard.

I do have a noise in the tranny or rear end, not sure, haven't had it checked yet, been spending too much time in the body shop for paint problems.

Update 15/12/00:

Update to my previous whining. Dealer fixed 98 percent of the paint problems, I obtained a lifetime warranty on paint and paint issues. Very happy there were 2 recalls, one fixed the noise that I had in the rear end - turns out it was in the front wheel bearing whatever....

Truck is great in the snow being a 4x4, and all it should be.

Gas mileage is well mediocre, but what the hell.

If Chrysler does not come through with a new truck or fix it with some type of compensation for me, maybe a free extended warranty and some cash back or something, it will be the last vehicle I buy from Chrysler even though I work there.

Update 15/12/00:

Go buy one if you're looking for a 4x4, my kids love the 4 doors..... and I do too. Comfortable, powerful, just check the paint before you buy it...
