2001 Dakota Review Summary & Specifications

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

The added interior room of the Quad Cab makes it extremely convenient on a day-to-day basis. Along with the hauling capability of the bed, it's almost like having two vehicles in one.

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