Dodge Dakota for sale

The Dodge Dakota debuted in 1986 with the goal of providing a middle-ground between compact and full-size pickup trucks to give buyers more capability in a slightly larger package. Featuring a traditional body-on-frame construction and rear leaf springs, the first-generation Dodge Dakota was sold with inline-four, V6, and V8 engines, which were paired with a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. The first-generation Dodge Dakota featured squared-off, angular styling in line with Dodge's larger pickup trucks.

Better aerodynamics, better performance

The second-generation Dodge Dakota made its debut in 1996 and featured radically different rounded styling to match the larger Dodge Ram as well as Dodge's other vehicles. Available with two- and four-door cabs, the second-generation Dakota gained four- and five-speed automatic options, as well as an R/T version, which featured a powerful V8 engine. The third-generation Dodge Dakota arrived for the 2005 model year with stronger body lines and increased towing capability, as well as redesigned suspension front and rear. Longer and wider than the previous generation, this Dodge Dakota was available with a 3.7-litre V6 or 4.7-litre V8 engine.
