I am new to dodgeforums, so im still getting used to all of this and im not sure how all of this is supposed to work but, i hope it comes with great help.

Im 19 yrs old and im looking for my 1st truck. I found a 2002 4x4 dakota SLT quad cab for $7,000. The truck has 140,000. I dont know anything about dodge trucks, i dont know how reliable/dependable they are. Since it is my first truck I want something thats going to last. Also, i wanted to know how they performed offroad, mainly in mud or sand.

Thanks in advance

 

well it looked like somebody took care of it and liked it i can see the lift and wheels and tires throttle body spacer, cai and clear corners and i have never hade mine brake down on me and when i lived in southern idaho playedin the sand and mud alot and it always got its self out but i was running 265/75-16 mountain cat radials on it but the price dont seem to bad for it and looks really clean

 

bad *** truck man i wish mine looked just like that! my clear coat is peeling and looking like **** so when i repaint it i think i may do the charcoal color. good find on the truck!

 

nice looking truck dude, anyone else notice that other white lifted dak in the background on the last pic?

 

deffently a nice truck and ive been looking for a set of the fold away mirrors

 

Nice!

 

Thanks for all the quick responses!

So I shouldnt worry about getting this truck?

It has the 4.7, is that a good engine?

 

i love my 4.7. mmmmm

 

for 140k miles and being an 02 7k seems high to me. My 2001 Durango only had 109k and I got it for 4200.

 

4200 seems like a steal to me. 7k may be a little high but i dont think its outrageous, especially considering its already lifted and has wheels and tires which by itself is about 1000
