Dodge Dakota By heatherwells on Feb 16, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

As an independent contractor my husband bought this truck for his work purposes. It performs wonderfully. He's never had any problems with that really. It's able to accomodate all his needs for storage. As he has a lot of tools he needs for work. I'm not sure I would call this truck reliable. He's had many problems needing repair. Even though this vehicle is older, it's well taken care of. Even though we have managed to keep it running, it seems like every month we have one or two problems to take care of. When we go out as a family in his truck we are able to fit two car seats, plus ourselves into this truck. It's got a lot of dents now, but when we bought it- it had a nice paint job and looked wonderful. The gas mileage could be better, but we can live with it for now.
