Today I stopped for someone in a ditch, and if I had a chain I would have helped him get out, but then I got to thinking, would I have been any help anyways? This is my 2nd truck, but my first one was a full size silverado. What are these dakotas capable of? I mean, Ive got the V6, so I know its less than a V8, but what can I do?

 

You know the story of the little engine that could?


Thats our trucks... We think we can... WE CAN!


I have pulled Jimbo out of some SERIOUS ****, also my brothers jeep.

Seeing that your from NY if the ground was enough to get tracking you could have been more then capable to pull them out. when i live in chicago, you wwould need a tow truck, or a truck with a wenich, because you can stay planted and let the wenich do the work.

 

Dont underestimate the 3.7. It might not have the HP ratings but it is a torquey little motor. We towed a 93 Jeep GC through some hilly **** for 100 miles with a tow dolly and the bumper hitch, she did pretty good too.

 

anybdy on here have a winch on they're truck? Ive thought about it.

 

i tow my 4400 pound travel trailer with my v8 six speed with no trouble

He's asking for 6cyl.

 

i was actually meaning in general. cus obiously they're smaller than a ram. i was thinking of fullsized vs mid size

 

I often pull loads that before I start people ask what I drive and ask if it will pull it when I say dakota.

I pulled a full sized silverado with a jet ski and trailer out of the lake. The silverado was loading up the jet ski to go home and the truck died. (wouldnt start) i wanted to see what my dak could do do i towed them out. after investigating the silverado's battery cables were extremely loose. For some reason the dumb girl driving it turned the truck off when she went out to load the jet ski. oh and it was a manual and she for got to set the brake and the truck almost went in. I dont launch alot of boats but last time i checked you dont trun the truck off... but the dak pulled her out alright. Damn you pull some crazy loads ther Turbot!!

 

haha, the last pic only went around the pasture but it pulled it fine just for that
