Good all-around vehicle! by Lakehawk from Cheyenne WY on 05/09/2011. Trim: 2006 Dodge Dakota ST Quad Cab 4WD, Owned 5 years.

Pros: Overall, a good vehicle. This one has the towing package and 230 hp V8 which proves adequate. It does well off road (although at times I could use more ground clearance).

Cons: I had the computer module go out at 38,000 miles which was covered 100% by emmision warranty, but it took a week to get the part (during elk season).
