Dodge Dakota Review

Dodge Dakota is a compact pickup, which offers almost full-size truck capability and power. It is designed with latest styling based on standard work trucks, but with a slimmer body, and sleek design. As a compact truck, the 2010 Dodge Dakota arrives in two exterior styles: crew and extended cab. For the new Dakota, Dodge provides a conventional cab pattern. It is also a perfect mid-size truck that is liked by many consumers. It is neither too large nor too small, and priced appropriately too, making it a hot choice.

The 2010 Dakota comes with option of either 4.7-liter V8 or 3.7-liter V6 engines, and five- or four-speed automatic transmissions respectively. Both body styled versions comes with a four-wheel drive, and four trims. The 3.7-liter V6 engine generates 210 horsepower, whereas the E85-compatible 4.7-liter V8 engine gives 302 horsepower. Rear-wheel anti-lock brakes and Front airbags are conventional, while four-wheel anti-lock brakes and side-curtain airbags are optional.

The entertainment features included in the new Dakota are Alpine speaker system for amazing audio playback, satellite radio, and an infotainment system along with navigation system and also 30-GB hard drive. Uconnect wireless connectivity and a remote start system are also on the offer too.

The 2010 Dodge Dakota carries the similar angular look with the bulkier appearance as that of the 2008. Humble on the exterior, the latest generation Dakota is persistently Spartan inside along with a bunch of black plastic items such as eighties’ vintage green-LCD audio display, white-face gauges, climate-control controls, and more.
