Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Dodge Dakota?
Truck has lots of room, for four people for longer trips. Has good gas mileage, handles like a sport car, great towing power, longer bed for golf clubs and other items.

This is my second one, I had a 2002 previously, put 115k miles and only spent 90.00 that wasn't routine maintenance.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Dakota?
I bought mine used and had been ordered special with heavy duty springs all the way around, 4 leaf's in rear.

Harsher ride than my 2002. I will change that eventually.

I did put the chip in it and a soft toneau cover. The gas mileage in hilly 100 plus temperatures in Calif is 22 highway and 16 city running hi air conditioning. I'm sure 24 mpg is possible in flatter Terrane.

2007 Dodge Dakota Review:
I've never understood the pricing by the dealers of Dakota's especially in California. You never see an add on one, never discounts, always low inventory. The big trucks get massive discounts off similar retail stickers. It seems you have to buy one used to get a deal. I can by the full size one any day for less than a Dakota, which won't fit in my garage. Nobody else has a truck that size with V/8 power, which I don't count the Ford Explorer track as real competition.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Dodge Dakota?
I the room in the '07 Dakota isn't that of a full size, but it's more than any other truck in its class. I went from an '05 ext cab to a '07 4 door when my daughter was born, and very happy with it. I can pack all my hunting or hiking gear in the cab easily, or a stroller and baby seat quite nicely. the power for the truck is well balanced. The four wheel drive is surprising, there have been several times where I knew I was stuck, but the truck just pulled right through it. And it doesn't even have all terrain tires. It's also easy for my wife to drive as well, seeing as how I hear most wives complain about their husbands truck being too big.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Dakota?
The only thing I would change is the bed construction. Seems to me like its a bit flimsy, and doesn't stand up too well to moderate abuse. However I guess that's nothing a spray in liner wouldn't help.

2007 Dodge Dakota Review:
If you're looking for a well rounded 4 door vehicle, that isn't "too much" in any area, the '07 Dakota is your vehicle.

Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Dodge Dakota?
Sturdy body and suspension.
Roomy and conveinent interior

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Dakota?
I would drastically improve the transmission and throttle response.
HP to wieght ratio and MPG at least to the advertised estimate.
I would also offer more straight drive manual shifts in this model as
the automatic does not perform that well .

2007 Dodge Dakota Review:
I purchased a V6 ST that was vastly under powered for hp to wieght ratio
with major transmission shifting problems . It was so bad I exchanged
the V6 with the cooperation of the Dodge rep. for an SLT V8 with fair performance.
Neither truck got any where near the advertised MPG ,city or highway.
Until I installed after market performance items that did not void warranty.
