2000 Dakota Review Summary & Specifications

Dodge Dakota is a solid, well-built truck I found fun to drive. The new 4.7-liter V8 in our Quad Cab offers great performance and works seamlessly with a specially designed automatic transmission.

If you don't want a full-size truck and compacts seem too small, then the Dodge Dakota may be just right.
