I have an 03 Dakota sxt that I just purchased from a buddy. It's white in color but I have thrown a few updates on it such as wire mesh grill and bed coating. Looks a lot newer than it is and it's just over 104,000 miles.
right now (2) club cabs a 92 2wd and a 96 4X4 both 318/auto.
in the past a 93 318 club cab (miss that one especially since I put the stick trans into it, badly wrecked)
before that a 94 reg cab short bed V6/auto 2wd, a 90 2wd longbed and an 89 2wd longbed both of these, v6/auto. the 90 I had for 5+ years, had to go back full size for a while (Dakota wasn't a big enough cab for car seat, diaper bag, etc) the 89 I bought as a flip that I was lucky to get out of it a whole $50 more than I put in.... back in 2001.
I have a 1996 Dakota Sport 318 rwd regular cab ,that is my daily driver. I bought it new in 1996.It still runs like new and I keep it looking like new.I see it as a lot cheaper than buying a new one.
When you consider paying the state sales tax. (in KCMO it is 7%) and then paying personal property tax, You are absolutely correct. I bought a new 2005 Dakota 4 dr Laramie. It has 159000 miles on it and it runs like it did when it was new. I'd be a fool to get rid of it. The ONLY shortfall rust on the rear wheel openings---Chrysler products should be ashamed of themselves.

My Dakota is a 2003 Quad-cab SLT+ w/4.7 V8 and auto trans. Has 70K original miles, runs and drives like new - everything on it works. Bought it new. I plan on being buried in it.
ext. cab 2002 Dakota 4x4 with 4.7 v8 and standard 5 spd tranny, limited slip rear end, leer fiberglass bed cover. nice truck with a lot of traction. hope to keep nit going for many more years.
It would be nice to break down the membership numbers by generation, as well as cab / bed type....
There are a few oddities in the Dakota stable, like 2nd-gen regular cab long beds
Let's revive an 11 year old thread shall we?
I recently bought a 2000 Dakota Quad cab. That has more rust than original paint. I removed that little jump seat behind the driver's seat and it was perfect for a sub. So I can play my hick music with real bass.
