Dodge Dakota

Dodge’s “Compact” pickup truck, the Dakota offers best-in-class interior space and the largest and longest standard cargo bed in its class at 6-feet 6-inches long (with extended cab). Anyone in the market for a truck larger than most compacts but not quite as large as a full size should give the Dakota a good look. Avoid the V6 though, as it’s underpowered and rather inefficient.

MSRP: $22,755-$27,880
Base Engine: 3.7-liter V6 with 210 horsepower
Base EPA mpg: 15 city/20 hwy/17 cmb
Competition: Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma

Model Highlights
Available V8 produces 302 horsepower, 329 foot-pounds of torque
Crew cab offers unique under-seat storage system
Towing capacity of 7,250 pounds when equipped with optional Class IV hitch
