welcome, I also have the 3.7. It has 210 hp, and is great for a city driver like me who goes ice fishing and camping once in a while. despite what others might say

Are we talking Dodge? The 2010 Dakota 3.7l is still 210 hp? If the 2011 Dakota has the Pentastar V6 that will be 265 hp. Same as the 4.7L HO.

The Dakota is near the bottom of the page ....

And it appears Dodge still hasnt figured out how to get better mileage from a V6 vs a V8
