2001 Dodge Dakota

Researched the mid-size pickup market for months before I was able to find the right pickup for the right price - a 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport Quad Cab. I can honestly say that I have no regrets about purchasing this vehicle. It has been everything I have read, seen, heard, and then some.

Go with the 4.7L V-8...you'll be glad you did. I get 18-22 mpg on the highway and 14-16 mpg in town. Not too shabby if you ask me. If your worried about your gas mileage then go buy a Ford Focus (no endorsement), get your 35 mpg and trying hauling a couch or a lazy boy and then tell me what you think.

This truck drives as close to a car as a 4X4 pickup can...the cab is a little noisier then a car (due to larger engine) but it takes nothing away from the smooth ride. There is even enough room for 3 average sized adults in the back.

I could go on and on but bottom line is if you want the best of all 3 worlds (car, suv, pickup) choose a Dodge Dakota quad cab.
