Prefer a V8, but wouldn't rule out a V6.
Best engine? Any to stay away from? What else should I look out for on these trucks?
A v6 in a quad cab will be a little on the underpowered side. The Gen II Dakota's are not light trucks and the extra doors add more weight.
What to watch out for?
Rust. Above the rear wheels on the box, rockers, around the wheels on the front fenders, both outer corners of the front bumper, the center of the rear bumper, and the frame around the transmission crossmember.
Abuse. If its been beat pretty hard, lots of stuff will need to be replaced, these are not the tough old beasts from the 70s & 80s. Gene
