Default need some dimensions

ok, so i was asked by my dad to get the dimensions of the new dakota for him (i THINK he is going to be looking at one if it will fit in the garage), so here is what i need, any of the info from some of you guys would be appreciated

1. HEIGHT (from the ground to the highest point of the roof) i need for both cab sizes in the 4x4 trim as i KNOW he will be getting that option based on where we live

2. LENGTH (from the farthest front part, to the farthest back part (trailer hitch reciever or bumper which ever sticks out more on this truck) (need reg cab short bed, quad cab short bed ect)

3. WIDTH (from outside of one mirror to outside of other mirror) one with tow mirrors and one without would suffice just fine for now.




any features that you suggest looking at on this truck

thanks in advance guys

Now is the time to buy for sure! With all these dealerships closing down by June 9th (i believe it's the 9th) he should find an AMAZING deal somewhere!

As a matter of fact I'm going to try and trade in the wifes 01 Montero Sport for an 09 Patriot. Much better gas mileage, and she actually wants a manual (what a turn on). They're asking $14,200, hard to beat with 0 miles and a full warranty like that. I'm gonna offer 13,500, and my grandpa worked for Chrysler installing transmissions for 20+ years, so when we use his employee code we get 3% any Chrysler product that we buy brand new. I'm not gonna mention that until I get my asking price.

From what I understand whatever isn't off the lot by June 9th, they pretty much lost their money on. I believe that chrysler will take them back because those dealerships won't be able to sell them.

Do you think the government will screw people over on the warranty?

yea there are 2 near home that are going out, i THINK that btwn that and the fact that my dads current dak is pushing 100k atm and the body is starting to show some rust (bottom of the doors and tailgate) my mom is pushing him to jump if they can find a good enough deal, but the dimensions WILL be a major factor, if it doesnt fit in the garage he will NOT be getting it, (he is wimpy about getting into a cold truck in the winter)
