Well almost. I have been test driving a 2006 QC Dakota for the last 4 days. I decided I wanted it so I am to sign the papers today at Noon! YEEEHAAAA!

I love this truck. It is a great truck, easy/fun to drive. Easy on the eyes too!

I owned a 94 model (bought new) and loved that truck too! But I totaled it.

I just hope I am not cursed with Dakota's. I wrecked my 94 model. My brother bought a 96 model and totaled it. Then a couple years later he bought one sometime around 2000 (give or take a year) and totaled it. So we have wrecked 3 Dakota's between us in the last 10 or so years.

I love DODGE! They make great quality products. The craftmanship on the interior looks great! I love the bold look of the exterior! I like everything about the Dakota I bought. Well, almost everything! Every vehicle needs a little personalization! I look forward to participating in these forums and driving/owning my Dak!!!!!!

Just wanted to share my excitement! Glad to be here!

 

Congratulations!![sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Be sure to post some pics when you get it home.

I have it under my carport now (along with my old truck) but I don't have a decent camera to take any "real" pics with. I might snap some pics but the cam I have is really crappy.

 

congats and welcome to the forum. what engine model did you get? i am curious to find out if you have any symptoms that some other gen3 people are having.

 

Congrats on the new truck. Did you go with the V8?

 

The only crappy camera is the one that's pointing at a Chevrolet.

 

Don't hound me too bad guys, but I went with the V6.

I really really like this truck! The V6 has enough power for me. It is a great truck!

 

V6 is is the way to go. My first test ride was in a v8, salesman says to hit it. Sorry guys, didn't do much for me. Then I rode in the v6, yep, slower, but not that much. I put on some flowmasters and VERY happy with the sound and MPG. I would post mpg but dint want to start anything. I'm just very happy with the V6. YOU DID GOOD! Great Color!! I was really surprised at all the flake they put in a stock paint job. I had two ford owners even comment on it. ENJOY!!

Thanks,

I am extremely happy with the power. It is 10x's better than my Nissan Frontier V6, that is for sure.

I hope to add some minor mods, like the cold air intake, possibly a chip, maybe some flowmasters (do they sound good or GOOD?)

Mostly, I bought the Dak on looks (but I like the power it offers). I hope to do some minor mods to the exterior to add my own style. But I haven't been this happy with a veh since......well since my 1994 Dakota

Of course, I'll have to find some $$$$ to do these mods with, lol.

 

Hey man, congradulations! I can see your excited, you should be! Its a great truck and a fun ride, enjoy it.
