What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2005 Dodge Dakota appreciate its reliable performance and comfort, highlighting its 4WD capability and good towing capacity. Many like the truck's rugged looks and power, especially its V8 engine. However, some drivers express concerns about fuel economy and the body condition, particularly rust issues and general wear. Despite these drawbacks, the Dakota remains favored for its efficiency and space."
Great size truck, not quite full size, it's got a very comfortable leather interior, seats 4 (quad cab) with 4 wheel drive. Handles well, gets good gas mileage. Roomy, handles well in all kinds of weather and terraine. Would recommend to a friend. Fun factor is a 10.
January 16, 2009Great mid-sized truck. The Durango is a little bigger than the GM, Ford,Toyota & Nissan models of smaller trucks. The 4-door cab makes traveling easier and more comfortable. The factory-installed towing package is great for our little camper. It is nice having a truck bed for around the house projects - And hauling my cousin's motorcycle that seems to break down every now and again.
August 23, 2008Performance: could have a little more guts for take off Build quality: so far so good Appearance: personal choice really, I like it. Cost of Ownership: It's a dodge lol, depends how you drive for the gas part. Fun factor: It's fun to drive for a 2wd...needs 4x4 lol.

March 30, 2010I have owned a Dodge Dakota and I love it. This truck has done just about everything I asked it to do. I only wish I had another one.
October 19, 2023Perfect small pickup, much better than a chevy or a ford. Bigger engine, cab, bed, bigger all around.
April 30, 2008Its a bit shabby but the price is right and its a very good pickup truck and V-6 are excellent and standard transmission will last longer than automatic transmission if you have experience with stick shift and clutch and I am looking for a mini truck that will fit in the garage.
October 22, 2024One thing that I liked about this truck is that it looks great. Another thing that I like is that this midtruck feels like I was driving a much larger truck. The truck has a strong engine and is reliable. The interior is very comfortable and nice looking.
April 30, 2015For the first vehicle I bought myself, it was a great truck! I play a lot of hockey and travel all around the midwest, and having all that cargo room was very efficient. The ride is super smooth and it felt good to be a little bit bigger than all the rest of the cars on the road. Highly recommend this truck to anyone.
September 6, 2012Performs all duties I need as a truck (towing other cars, hauling dirty stuff) while performing ok as a daily driver in urban/suburban traffic. Small enough to park almost anywhere you can park a car, V8 power and capable tower for open trailer hauling other cars. Nice back seats even for adults.
