This one showed up at a dealer down in Lima, OH Had a local dealer pull a carfax for me and it was legit. No rust, 47,000 original miles, 4.7 V8, runs like a top and drives like new! A few dings and scratches but it looks much better than other vehicles a 1/4 its age. The underside of the truck is super clean as well. Ok ok I'm bragging to much sorry but we are very excited we found and purchased this truck!

Good running and great driving little truck whose main job is to keep my wife from beating up my 04 Quad cab diesel...lol. Best advice I can give you on the new to you Dakota is to never let it overheat, and keep the oil changed at frequent intervals. I use a synthetic blend in ours, and change it every 3500 miles. Best of luck with your nice little truck.

I over maintain all my vehicles so I don't expect anything unusual with the Dakota that I haven't seen already with the Durango.
