Default New to Dodge

I just recently (well last Thursday) bought my first Dodge. I have always been a Chevy guy but could not pass up the deal I got on a 07 Dakota SLT. I must say I am very impressed with the truck. It is a V6 (wanted V8), Ext. Cab. 2wd, Pearl Blue. I will post pics later this week once I get it cleaned up.

I am going to do some things to it but just not sure just yet. I know I want to level it up and put some different exhaust for now. I also want to change the radio to the factory one that shows the radio station and song that is playing but will not pay the $700 price tag the dealership wants.

The last truck I had wasa 99 S10 ext. Cab with 4.3. Fast little truck.

Welcome, good place to be and be heard. The Dak is a niche truck. Heavy and strong with a love hate history. Still they’re no other truck quite like it. Enjoy.

Honestly you're far better off going with a good quality aftermarket radio.

My best friend used to have an S10 ZR2 with the 4.3, good little truck. I myself had a 95 Z71 Xcab w/ the 350 in the past, loved that truck but I'm a Dodge guy at heart. I'm sure you won't regret getting a Dakota.
