from Case & Watson, Benzo Year / Model Reviewed: 2004 Dakota SLT Club Cab 4x4, 4.7L V8 Summary: My first *new* vehicle ever and I love it. This has been a great truck so far. 12,000 miles and no warranty repairs yet. Sporty and fun to drive. If I had to do it over again I'd probably get the 4-door model. I got most of the bells and whistles: towing pkg, trip computer, 4 wheel anti-lock breaks, optional front bucket seats, etc, enjoy them all. Added a bed-line and fiberglass tonneau and it looks great. Sure do like the looks of the '05 though! This truck replaced a 97 GMC Sierra 1500, no regrets! Strengths: Plenty of power, tows our huge, ancient tent camper with ease. Sporty and tough-looking. Great size, easy to park and maneuver, fits nicely in the garage. Weaknesses: Gas mileage: but I knew that! Averages about 16, have gotten up to 20-21. Back seat: not made for humans, even my dogs aren't thrilled with it. Like I said, I'd get the 4-door next time and sacrifice the bed space. Maybe the kayaks would fit on top? Vehicle Graphics: For such a sporty truck the graphics are BORING. Maybe I can take those 4x4 stickers off, it'd look better without. Similar Products Used: '97 GMC Sierra Z-71
'96 Jeep Cherokee Sport (it keeps going and going.....)
