2006 Dodge Dakota

Pros: Roomy, powerful, 20mpg+ on highway with a V8.

Cons: Not able to mount a snow plow.

The Bottom Line: The perfect truck for someone who works on their house and yard, hunts and fish with a need to tow a boat and enough room to bring their friends along.

Review: This is my first review, so be kind. I read the other review and felt another opinion was needed--isn't that the point of this site? I bought my '06 Dakota on March 31, 2005. I live on 5 acres of prairie/oak woods in a river valley of SW Wisconsin and ...

Pros: Roomy interior, runs and rides great, good looking

Cons: Electrical issues - see text

The Bottom Line: I recommend buying this truck if you do not want a full size model. It's plenty capable, lots of options, good looking, and solid. Very easy to live with.

Review: We bought our 2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab (flame red) on Memorial Day Weekend of 2006. At the time of this writing, we have owned the truck for almost a year. Specs: SLT Quad Cab 4X4 Magnum V-8, 230hp Tow Package (includes 3.92 rear end) Anti-spin ...

Pros: I love the power that this truck has.

Cons: There is not enough room in the back seat for an adult.

Review: The Dodge Dakota is my 1st truck. I am a 54 year old female, and was brought up to believe that nice girls don't drive trucks. Now I know how wrong everyone was. My only regret is that it took me this long to find out. I chose the Dakota because of its ...

Pros: Size, Cost (w/ incentives), Handling, Ride

Cons: Rear Seat Foot Room, Gas Mileage (but it's a truck after all)

The Bottom Line: Awesome Truck for the price - drives/handles GREAT! Love the V-8 Power!

Review: We purchased our 06 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab in Jan 07 and received 11,500 off of the sticker price. It was one of only a few left so it didn't have all of the features we originally wanted but had all of the major ones we needed. It's a 4.7L Magnum 2WD ...

Pros: Exterior/interior quality and construction, general size, Reliable for the most part.

Cons: Poorly treated seats, suspension, gas mileage, acceleration with v6

The Bottom Line: If you can get the right price as explained, then this truck is worth the investment.

Review: Let me start by saying that I have owned a 2006 Dodge Dakota, ST 4x2 6-speed manual for about 27 months now. I feel that at around the two year mark, you can write an accurate review for two reasons; 1. The writer's judgment is no longer slued by the ...

Pros: Styling of the full-size RAMs

Cons: Relatively poor overall value

The Bottom Line: There's folks who love Dodge Dakotas, but I don't know why. They do less than big pickups and cost almost as much...

Review: Every car or truck on the market can be viewed as either a leader or a follower. It either blazes its own trail, or it boldly goes where everyone and his granddad has gone before. In pickups, you usually divide up the market by the time-honored size ...

Pros: Good Looking Truck, Easy to Drive

Cons: Power, Road Noise

The Bottom Line: For some people, such as basic family types, this will be fine. If you want a truck for hauling, look at the V8 edition of this.

Review: Do you like the aggressive commercials presented by Dodge? They claim that their vehicles are all about "Grabbing life by the horns." I consider this a daily occurrence, as my boss is an apprentice to the devil himself. According to this ...

Pros: Hasn't fallen apart yet.

Cons: Mileage, Plastic parts, Uncomfortable seats, Transmission, trade-in value

Review: This is the worst vehicle we have ever owned. Cheap doesn't describe how this truck is made. Have had transmission problems, it's noisy, it's terrible on gas, and has virtually no trade in value at all so we're stuck with it. Run people. Wish we had ...
