I Love This Truck!!

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2000
Review: This is the first pickup truck I have ever bought. I have been very, very pleased with my truck. It has more head room than some of the trucks I've ridden in, and the ride is pretty smooth unless you hit some really big holes.
The engine seems...

SUPER SMALL TRUCK

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 1999
Review: Well Dodge pleased me a second time with my purchase of a 1996 Dodge Dakota. I purchased this vehicle as had had 10 years of good service from a Dodge Caravan. This truck actually rides like a car, not beat you to death. This truck handles with...

Electrical hell

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: This would be an outstanding product except for the dreaded ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Review: In March of '96 I was in desperate need of a bare bones pickup thats main purpose would be to shuttle me back and forth to work. Owning pickups most of my life I opted to once again tap the truck market and see what was out there. The Dakota offered...

Best truck ever

Date of Review:  Oct 29, 2006
Review: I've owned a 1996 Dodge Dakota for about the last 3 years. I have owned this truck longer that I have owned any other vehicle which, if you know me, means alot. This truck is the most comfortable riding truck I have ever seen. It has an incredible...

If you can't Dodge it, Ram it!!!

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you want a truck for whatever reason, but don't need the bulk of a fullsize, this is the truck you need.
Review: This is my second vehicle, but my first truck, and i have to say, it was a great deal! It has high kms, but it still runs like new. The 4x4 is flawless and i can't get over how nice the ride is. For a four wheel drive, the turning radius is much...

Review: I am the only owner of this vehicle and my biggest complaint is the NY state inspection, the truck has always had a problem passing the inspection due to a exaust /engine problem with it. No one seems to know what is wrong, I have been told it may...

..And I say to myself, What a wonderful ride...

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: All in all, this is a great buy, whether it's your 1st truck or your 10th. Safe for a family, tough for a job, and great gas mileage (25mpg)
Review: My parents bought a brand-new 1996 Dodge Dakota Club Cab Sport because we needed something to replace our veteran 1987 Nissan pickup, because it just couldn't carry 4 people anymore, now that my brother and I are older. The truck was a 5-speed, with...

He Can Have It

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2000
Review: This is actually my husband's truck but I do drive it every once in a while. We bought the truck because you just don't live in Texas and not have a truck. You never know when you will need to haul something. We went ahead and got the extended cab...

1996 Dakota cc Slt 4wd

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: Its is a poorly made truck with inherent flaws in design, ie: gas mileage, turning radius, front end components etc.
Review: I purchased this truck in 1997 as a leftover. At 30,000 miles the tranny went (under warranty) at 40,000 the rear end went, The driver seat covers tears on the recliner adjuster (replaced twice under warranty). Now with 72,000 the tranny went again...
