What Owners are Saying About the 2002 Dodge Dakota Regular Cab
"All-Around Best Truck Ever"
"I absolutely love this truck. I've owned it from 20,000 miles to just over 110,000. It never lets me down and can fit a load of people comfortably, or a load of lumber. You can find other trucks with features and aminities that are better, but dollar for dollar this is the best out there. Only problems I've had is the paint fading on the hood/roof and gas mileage in the city."
"16 years - zero problems"
"I purchased my 2004 Dakota new in 2004. Other than routine maintenance, it has been a super reliable truck. Works great off road and capable at towing with tow package and 3.92 rear end. Average fuel economy is 13/17. Had the original battery for 10 years!!"
"Dodge Dakota Club Cab pick up truck."
"This Pickup truck has the perfect combination of size (for work), comfort (for every day use) and fuel economy. The larger trucks take more gas and the smaller ones can't do the job. Too bad that they do not make this midsize pickup truck anymore!!"
