    Say bye to the Dudge Dakota, set to end production this month. I'm not a Dudge fan, but back in the day when I worked at Schneider Trucking, we had a Dakota that was a parts truck that had the Magnum V6 in it. I admit that was a tough little truck, we beat the hell out of it any chance we got. :jester:


    RIP Dudge Dakota :birgits_tiredcoffee

    Well the more efficient the halftons get the less we need the small trucks. But I hated those trucks. Lol

    I was never a huge fan of the Dakota, but it does suck to see it go.

    dakota's always looked the same as the Ram to me except it was lower to the ground with a smaller motor.

    They did stay right there with the Ram as far as looks. Chrysler uses so many parts that are the same on each of their vehicles they all start looking the same exterior and interior wise. You look in a PT Cruiser and you'll find Dakota and Neon parts all over the place. :jester:
