Dodge Dakota Laramie

The Dodge Dakota Laramie is more manageable, fuel economic, and socially accepted in comparison with the F-150, Sierra, and Ram monster trucks. With enough room for five, four doors for easy access, a 64-inch-long bed, the Dodge Dakota is the perfect suburban support vehicle. The Dakota Dodge is practical and efficient alternative to trucks that take up too much space and guzzle too much gas. For an old timer the aging 3.7-liter V-6 in the Dakota is full of surprises. The Dodge Dakota’s size is just right for camping purposes and urban driving.

The biggest upgrade Ram could make to the Dakota is a more affordable price. The mid-size pickup segment is down in the dumps right now because a full-size truck costs less and can carry more baggage.

Apart from a mild improvement two years ago, the Dakota is almost the same as the DaimlerChrysler launched it in 2005. At best-the V-6 is powerful enough for hard terrain drives but the four-speed is not quite up to par and the steering clumsy in a highway.

The Dodge Dakota is a seasoned veteran in the market of trucks to date. The interior materials and designs are the same as its predecessors showing a clear lack of contemporary design sensibilities.

Although the Dodge Dakota is old it still provides a quality drive especially for such a large truck. Acceleration isn’t all that but for a V-6 in a 4400-pound body it is not bad. Maneuvers around corners and curves should be planned and well thought of because of the car’s weight. The Dodge Dakota still handled intermediate-strength hauling despite its age.

A machine like the Dakota has several benefits compared to a full-size pickup unless your towing or hauling heavy stuff. The Dodge Dakota can dodge traffic around town and can get into tight parking spots. The Dodge is fuel economic, easier to ride in and out of, and can carry four adult passengers. The Dakota has many practical advantages and it doesn’t feel like a $30,000 vehicle because the design lacks style and is part of an older era of cars.

The Dodge Dakota Laramie Crew Cab 4×2 is sold for the base price $30,920. It comes with standard equipment such as 3.7-liter V-6 engine, 4-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes; rear drum brakes, rear sliding window, cruise control, power locks/windows/mirrors, remote start system, tire pressure monitoring system, audio jack input, Sirius satellite radio, 6 Alpine speakers, and many others. It has a 3.7L V-6 engine and 210 hp @ 5200 rpm.
