I had a Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 pick-up for 11 years. Bought it new (1999) when I lived in Canada and shipped it back here in 2005. It was the only "compact" pick-up with a V8 available. 5.2 L 240 horses. Sold it and bought my first Porker in 2010.
Without doubt the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
In all the time I had it, I replaced the battery, 4 new tyres, both front hub assemblies, front discs and pads.
First service (oil change)...$28 cdn which in them days was about £10 !
In 1999 the 80 litre fuel tank cost $44 to fill :grin:
