Big red was in the shop today and the dealer loaned me a 2006 V8 Dakota to drive while they had my truck. I don't know if any of you has driven one of these butit was the most gutless piece of junk I have ever drove a 4 cylinder could outrun them easily. Icouldn't believe how slow it was

 

Anything's a let down after driving a cummins

 

my old power joke could have left it behind

 

man those dak guys have been pretty upitty of late if they see this theres liable to be a showdown although ur right they are lil pukes.

 

they ticked me off yesterday any how but I shouldnt start trouble

 

you shoudl read the june totm voting and then they'll really tick u off.

 

I got 2 Dak's sitting in my yard now, an extended cab, I bought new in 94 with the 318and loaded, had power but the brakes sucked big time. now the 93 I got for parts, had cruise control and nothing else, it's so light it flys, but the CTD will still outdo in a heartbeat.

I still got a lot of mileage out of my 94 it has 225000 and still running good except for the rear end bearing went out and needs changed, but it's been sitting since I got my CTD

 

We had a Dakota for about 6 weeks - - dang thing leaked so bad when you washed it there was a 3 inch puddle on the passenger side floor.

I drove it once I went back to my VW and left it in the driveway for the hubby. I agree w/ you that it was gutless. You had to STOMP on the pedel just to get the dang thing off the line.

 

I read that two but it is mainly one guy that is a smarta$$ the others are for the most part ok.
