The kicker was manual windows, manual locks, no kinda infotainment, cloth seats - bare bones truck but a nice color and rims, maybe a stripe. A good looking truck not over run with tech and priced to move for like low $20s?.


This would be the only type of pickup I'd want. I have no use for the 4 door long beds that everyone thinks they need.


I wish they made a dakota sized truck still, extended cab long bed. I just picked up the nicest 92 dakota left and LOVE driving it, the bed is waaaaaaaaaay easier to use than the 5 foot bed on my 2011 1/2 ton, its way easier to park. Pretty quick with a 318 in a light truck, (not as fast as my SRT8 392 in my 2011 though). My 2011 4 door cab is too big, wish it had a quad cab instead of crew cab and the 6 foot box instead of the 5 foot worthless and a half bed. I will probably be selling the 2011 now.


Thought they were coming out with a new "Dakota"? It would cannibalize some 1500 sales but I'd be interested in one if they did. My V8 Dakota was a GREAT truck. Pulled a decent cargo trailer, parked and rode like a car, basically a GREAT "mid sized" truck! Think mine was a 2010 or 2011. Was kinda hard to find the exact one I wanted cause it was the last year. I actually flew from MI to NC to buy it and drove it home.
