Had my 04 since 08 and the only major thing I had to replace was the 545rfe trans. Never a problem with the 4.7 after 165k miles. No rust anywhere and the paint held up great.

“ its basically a sports truck”😂😂😂 best part

That truck has rear ABS you can see it working in the video. The front locked up and the rear was still spinning.

I love my Dakota. Runs like a top. Never had a single issue with it. I will never get rid of my truck.

I’ve had a 5.2 1999 Dakota single cab(had kids), 4.7 2001 Dakota quad cab(A/C broke), now have 4.7 2005 Dakota quad cab with minor problems at 96,000miles….water pump, suspension, manifolds. Great trucks

Bought me a 3.7L 2WD 2004 extended cab Dakota for $100 CDN. Seller was convinced the head gasket was shot, it wasn't. It was a cracked thermo coupler. I felt so bad I gave him an extra $50 and kept the truck. After investing around $2000 I replaced the broken thermo coupler, put on new brakes, new rotors and tires, it seems Ive gotten myself a pretty decent little truck. It even came with a rhino coated box, a towing hitch, a nice lid style tonneau cover and a canopy!

Are you related to the boy from South Park that says, “shut up Mimsy”.

Funny video. I have a 5.9l Quad cab and I love it. These are getting hard to find now with no rust. Mine pulls my 21' camper pretty well. And well, for an old truck its never let me down.

I'm almost done with my frame off resto of my 96 5 speed, 4x4, 5.2, short bed short cab Dakota. Frame 'just' started to rust, like surface only, so its been sand blasted and repainted. Great truck, fast, reliable, simple to work on, I plow with it and its like a tank in the snow. I added a 8 3/4 for a rear end so I can swap out gearing easily for winter and summer driving, and I'm swapping a 360 Magnum in soon as I'm done rebuilding that.

I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4 x 4 with the 5.9/360 Magnum engine, 4 speed auto, 3.92 rear diff and towing package. It has nearly 200,000 miles and still going pretty good. I do use it occasionally to tow my 2 horse bumper pull trailer. It's gone through one transmission rebuilt, one transmission replacement of the broken rooster tail, one transmission torque converter and leaking seal replacement, one heater core replacement, two radiators, two water pumps, one fan belt, one fan belt idler, one fan belt tensioner, one set of shocks, 3 batteries, two sets of tires (just about to be 3), one set of brakes (about to be the second), one rear wheel ABS sensor replacement, one front wheel bearing and front CV shaft replacement. But it has never left me stranded. I do change the oil every 2,500 miles and have done all the work myself except for the transmission and heater core.

I’m buying a 04 v6 Dakota and I’ve been doing research on this truck. This is the best video so far 👍

I just recently picked up a 1999 2WD Dakota, with an extended cab, 6' bed (I think, but I haven't measured it), and the slow as hell 3.9L v6. Honestly, not much to say about the Dakotas other than they are trucks. Nothing more, nothing less. Just very basic trucks that will do exactly what you need them to do. And that's what I love about mine. It's simple.

I have a 97 4x4 with the 3.9. And you're right. It barely has enough power to get out of the way. But I don't mind that it's slow. I like that it's a basic, nothing fancy, reliable little truck. It's easy to work on, and I got it cheap. So it's perfect for work, and hauling dirt bikes around the desert. I don't intentionally beat on it, but it won't break my heart if it gets some dings and scratches.

I love my 04 Dakota. Run and drives great. Haven’t had s ingle problem.

Holy Alberta. Take 'er for a rip there bud.

310,000 miles on my 3.7 2wd auto. Uses 1 qt per 1000 miles. Valve lifters and timing chains are silent. Zero issues beyond normal stuff. No rust. Considering getting a reman engine, but it runs so well, it’s tough to justify it. I am curious about what oil consumption levels others get.

That rust probably got even worse sadly, hope the guy took care of it.

You have to replace your key ignition if you can pull it out of your ignition cuz mine doesn't do that unless it's broken I've had cars that have done that many of times before but you have to replace the ignition and the 4.7 l has more problems than anything

What happens when you put rack and pinion steering in a mid size truck.

I approve. I drive an 06’ 4.7l v8 slt, and the only issues I’ve found with it so far is the breaks wear as any other cars would. Though I literally get 8.2 MPG, it’s a thirsty ho, but she looks and feels good and reliable no matter where or when.

Of course it has ABS lol. It’s probably just harder for y’all to brake and get the truck to stop with all that snow in Canada lol

Going to have to say Dodge Dakota it's a small truck but it does quite a bit more than S10 or a Mazda pickup truck whatever do

Your ignition is broke, I have a 2004 Dakoda crew cab and the key does not come out when started.

Scott Kilmer gives a Doug score.

These kids are so young they are confused and expecting features that came out in the late 90’s.

mine would put in the seat mines a high output it fun to drive

Ya the driver only unlock door feature is fine with me. Live in the hood really don’t need all the doors unlocking with out my consent

They will never make these trucks the same, they will be these expensive luxury things. I hope if it comes back it is like this with the front split bench seating and column shifter. Very basic and not luxurious!

Lots of trucks do the lock thing i know my ford f350 2005 does that

Good truck but perhaps clean the damn thing before show casing.. Also it's good it had hazard lights wow and seeing the dirty cigarette lighter was a bonus knowing it's been heavily smoked in and y'all can't vacuums the thing.... Brilliant

I drive a 4.7 quad cab with 232k and it runs fine, has its wear but i think this is more of a parody. this truck isnt that slow if you actually bury your foot all the way. the door locks are iffy yes but the key in mine doesnt come out, that can be a bad tumbler. at the time it was the only mid sized truck witha v8, and even chevys famous 4.3 v6 (350 with 2 pistons chopped off) wouldnt take on the 4.7 witha factory power rating 40 horse more and about 80 more ft-lbs of torque, 6 bolt hubs and more ground clearance than the chevrolet s10 and the 2wd rangers, though 4x4 might have been taller. biggest issue with them in my opinion is the body, and the gear ratios dodge chose for the rear end and transmission. at 120 km/h im only sitting at 2000 rpm in 5th gear. i can do 110 at 2600 rpm in 3rd for gods sake, its not the engine. with optional overdrive in the auto its rare that i would use it even on the highway. where i live quite frequently you can find yourself on 30 degree inclines or more even on the highway, thats hellish on the transmission if you decide to use overdrive

Thats kinda dumb tho cause if you're scared of getting your truck stolen so you leave it running and take the keys out then someone could still steal it since you can drive it with out keys

nope if you have over 600 lbs in bed strapped down change lanes on highway gets squirrly also these have a problem with trans solinoid that p700 code..wheel hubs are costly and pain to change seats are not heavily padded

A couple of thousand? Maybe if beat to Hell, ridden hard, put away wet, rusted out, and mistreated, but Gen II Dakotas in decent shape cost US$5-7k. As for styling, this generation sold like gangbusters which is why Dodge left it unchanged for 8 years and sales halved when they introduced 2005 Gen III.The Dakota Gen II styling followed cues from 1994 Ram design which dramatically increased Dodge’s market share. By comparison, GM and Ford offerings in early/mid 90’s (both full size and compact trucks) were literally square boxes. Then Ford compounded their error by turning truck design over to minivan engineers, giving us the fugly late 90’s Fords. It helped Dakota was the only mid-sized truck, filling a unique niche GM and Ford later attacked with larger compacts, and Japanese companies squeezed with smaller “full-size” trucks. Of course, you probably never heard any of that since it all occurred before your time. History matters.

Amost everything said here is way off base. I have a 03 Dakota 4x4 quad cab and its same truck as 04. I would gladly own another one when mine finally dies but it still going strong at 230,000 miles. My truck was fully loaded and has towing package. I have had 6,000 pounds behind it and never was lacking in power. As for used ones m6 03 still has a resale of almost $5 grand 04's are going for up to $6 or $7 grand. So what this guy has against a Dakota i havnt a clue but from someone who is a owner i can say he is full of it.
