Pros: Power, Nice Look
Cons: Comfort, Fuel Economy, Hard On Rotor and Brakes
The Bottom Line: Pretty truck, but it value, reliability, and resale do not warrant the sticker price.
I bought my Dakota new in 2001 and was initially satified with the vehicle, but then I began to notice many little problems that reduced my overall satisfaction. Comfort I am a big person and soon found that the Dakota becomes quite uncomfortable ...

I recently bought a brand new sporty Dodge Dakota. Driving home in the luxerious and large four-door cab was great! until I decided to hit the pumps.
Unsuspectingly I inserted the nozzle and watched the price go up...up...and up. It ended up...

Pros: Great power and acceleration. Lots of back seat space. Smooth and comfortable ride.
Cons: Pinging engine. Long wheelbase makes parking difficult. Questionable quality.
The Bottom Line: A well designed, stylish truck with fantastic features and perfect size, but flawed quality.
This review is for the 2001 Dakota Quad Cab 4x4. I purchased this new through CarsDirect.com. This vehicle was equipped with the 4.7l engine which has power to spare and propels this big truck quickly when the foot goes down. You'll pay for it,...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nice looking, powerfull V-8, comfortable, rebates, quad-cab
Cons: Fuel economy, Dodge dealers, reliability concerns, reg cab interior space, nicer versions get pricey
The Bottom Line: Blows the competition away in terms of size, power, and looks. A no-brainer choice for all but the most budget conscious truck users.
The Dodge Dakota is grouped with compact pickup trucks, and it is definitely smaller than full-sized pickups. But it really could be classified as a mid-size, since it falls somewhere in-between most trucks in either class. The Dakota has been around...

Pros: Fast, Great power with the V8, Roomy for a mid-size pickup, handles very well.
Cons: 16 - 18 MPG. Speakers are good, stereo is not.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Dodge Dakota, just buy it without the stereo and put your own in later.
Overall I like my Dodge Dakota. It had a lot of room for a mid-size pickup. It looks great (especially when its clean). My Dakota has a V8 4.7 Liter engine. It has all the power that I need. It also has a lot of room in the bed. The truck is just...

Pros: Great Price
Cons: Limited Leg room in extended cab
The Bottom Line: I would reccomend this ride to anyone. It has a great ride, comfortable seats, great storage room, and all for a price that cant be beat.
I purchased my 2001 Dodge Dakota extended cab for $176/month with $3000 down. I really am enjoying the ride in this truck. Its a great truck for working and throwing large items in the bed. It also serves as a great driving truck with the smooth ride and...

Pros: Solid, dependable, comfortable.
Cons: Back seat small for adults and rear facing car seats.
The Bottom Line: If you want a very dependable, and versatile truck, at a bargain price, make the 2001 Dodge Dakota your choice.
In December of 2000 I bought a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4X4 Pickup extended cab with a 5.4 magnum V-8. I couldn't be happier!! It has ample room in the front seats which are 60-40 split with room for a small third passenger up front(a child for instance). The...

Pros: Smoothest ride in a 4x4. Great looks and perfect size.
Cons: Dodge Dealer in my town is rather lacking.
The Bottom Line: The Dodge Dakota will surprise you with it's quality of fit and finish and the ride is smooth as silk.
I have had my Dakota for about a year now and really like it. My 16 year old son is always wanting to borrow it as he says it is a "Babe Magnet". Take that for whatever you want as I think he means the teenage girls really like it.
I have the...

Pros: Great lines, powerful engines, ample cab space. Accident Survivability.
Cons: Low gas mileage, visibility less than optimal.
The Bottom Line: Mid-size truck thinks it's full sized. Ample room, power and great looks. Great truck.
I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab SLT. I enjoy my truck, especially the gutsy 4.7 V8. (Would take most cars off the line, if I wanted to.) Cab is comfortable and functional. Drivers side seat is slightly narrower than I would like, but it's easy to ...

Pros: High powered engine on the V-8! good space inside and well built.
Cons: Sucks the fuel and it has a very long bed.
The Bottom Line: A good solidly built truck with no problems for the 4 days that I had it, except we made a few stops at the pumps.
I rented one of these little beauties for 4 days a few weeks ago and have to admit, I had never driven a pickup before. I had no idea what to expect. However, this little hummer really jammed. It was very powerful and made the mark in terms of...

The Bottom Line: I love this truck! I highly recommend you go buy one now and go 4 wheeling. All the cool kids are doing it.
The 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 Club Cab
Let me start by saying, in my opinion, the new Dodge trucks are by far the best looking pickups on the market today. I have not found too many people who deny that. So last September, when I decided the...
