This is a nice mid size truck. These mid size trucks are really changing so you get this big truck feeling without the big truck price or gas mileage.
I generally don’t go after Dodge or Chrysler products, but at the time I was shopping the price was right. I bought the Dakota Quad cab. This cab gives me lots of room. Because I do quite a bit of traveling this was a very practical choice. I can put my cooler back there, sales books, clothing, boots and sometimes I need to carry parts to and it all goes into the quad cab. It is also very easy to get my stuff out of the cab with its 4 doors without having to use a lot of physical exertion. Of course, there is a tradeoff for having the large cab. The truck bed is shorter and you don’t have a great amount of storage room
back there. For my purposes, this was good enough. I wanted a truck and would have rather had the storage in the cab as opposed to the bed of the pickup.
My pickup is a 4WD 6 cylinder SLT. It has power windows, keyless entry, electric mirrors and a security system. One thing that it gave, that I never new existed was the engine kill. I still don’t know why anyone would need that. It has enough power for my purpose and is cost effective as far as fuel is concerned. It is a 4 speed automatic and is very good on gas with miles per gallon in the vicinity of the mid 20’s. I tow my one snowmobile and occasionally garbage to the dump but that is about it. It has plenty of power for those 2 things.
I really like the power seat of this truck. It is easy ...
