you know you own a dakota when your friends call you to pull them out of the mud or ditch and are to embarrased to say a half size pulled them out

 

when you pull up somewhere and you, your wife, your daughter, your oldest son, your middle son, and your youngest son all get out of the 2 doors without having to climb over anything or pull any levers to move the seats.

 

When your cup holder pops out every time you accelerate.

When you go to the dealership to order parts and they say "Sorry, that's been discontinued."

or they say..."i'm surprized to see they still have that part"

(for those with a rear sliding window)
you take a turn and the rear window slides open
