What Owners are Saying About the 2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab

"Clean, great engine & Drives great"

"Been always wanting a quad cab. Came across this beauty and fell in love. Bought the v6 3.7 which at 1st I thought would be a little less powerful but I was wrong. Strong truck thru and thru... 2nd if you take care of this truck, you can EASILY put over 200k miles on her. Typical trucks this old definitely rust on the frame. Not this one. When I purchased, there was still factory paint on the frame!!! Inside is beautiful and lots of room"

"Wish they still made dakota I would trade rust"

"Rust around rear panel about wheels. Drivers seat has some tears in it. Passenger seat is fine and rear seats were used one time. Tires are all good. Front tires have about 7000 miles back tire's have about17000 miles"

"The best truck, ever."

"I purchased this truck new from a dealer. After 1000 miles, I put synthetic oil in the engine. This truck has never broken anything, not the smallest part. Everything still works after 13 years of ownership. I changed the battery once. I replaced the tires twice. I routinely change the synthetic oil every 5000 miles. At 100,000 miles, I changed the transmission oil and the differential oil. That is it! It is extremely reliable and starts the first try every time. I will keep this truck until it drops."
