Thread: mid size truck

It should be a good platform. They have been around a good while. It should work fine for most of what I use a truck for

[QUOTE=Atimm693;4331902]Avoid the 3.7 like the plague. One of the worst motors ever made.[/QUOTEI

The Dakotas I've owned have always had the 6cyl, 3.9l motor. Never had issues with them if maintained well. Never had the 4.7l, 8cyl.....the reports on them and gas mileage turns my nose from them. I have a 5.3 8cyl Chevy for bigger pulls and for my whole family to fit in to go to the lake or wherever, but this Dakota is what I buzz around in everywhere!

Man I wanted one of those. The commercials were great. Then I saw one up close. They were designed for hauling a set of golf clubs or a potted plant. All the neat features got in the way of one another, especially if you wanted to use it like a truck.....course this was 15 years ago. They might be cool now

The Honda Ridgeline was NOT a pickup truck. It was and is a minivan with a semi-truck body. It is a Front Wheel van with a mini-truck body. It now has am all
with drive system that makes the rear wheels an assistant mode that accusement rear drive. Not bad if you are looking for a better than an awhile drive but not a true 4 wheel drive offered a four wheel drive offered by the Frontier.

im driving my 3rd gmc canyon at4 model 4x4 double cab. it pulls my boat a fast as i want to go. thats fast.300+ hp and tow button that raises the shift point rpm. at 87 it may be the last one i need.

Vehicles these days last so much longer than the ones of years ago.

I wouldn't take a Nissan if you gave it to me.

I've owned multiple nissan trucks & kept them all until they had a lot lof miles on them. I have only put one starter on one & one alternator on another. If i were shopping for a mid size truck it would be 1toyota, 2 nissan & ranger. Do they still make a dakota?

Dakota is no longer made, in the states anyway. Look for that to change in a few years. The question is, will stelantis/ram make it on a unibody? EV only?

Off topic - I saw a video that the IH Scout could be making a return, in EV form only though.
