Top speed in that sucker was about 78 mph and it lost breath on the slightest incline. But nothing really ever went "bad" on it. Now THAT would be a perfect vehicle for a kid, no way they'd be able to race that.

Takes a little while to get used to the long shift throw and somewhat loose body structure (like all trucks have). You found a manual, V8 Dakota to test drive?! Damn, I thought those were pretty much factory order. And I'm thinking the gentleman considering one for his daughter isn't looking at the 5.9 R/T; he probably would've specified... --T.J. 2000 SVT Contour, Black, stock, no tickets yet... www.seismicradio.com

That thing had balls! I am actually considering one for myself (5.9 R/T that is). The exhaust tone is still ringing in my head! Dodge may be winning me over a bit with the power they are putting in their vehicles (putting flame suit on). Black '98 SVT The usual mods.

Big enough to tow a good load and haul stuff, but not quite as big as a full size. I have heard of the auto tranny's having problems (my parents Durango just got out of the shop for transmission trouble). Go to dodgedakotas.com for more info. Simon new- '04 Dodge Dakota 4x4.
