The best truck I ever owned
by Mark on 10/8/2026 11:00:20 PM
I factory ordered my 1999 Dodge Dakota in October of 1998 and received it January of 1999 in Solar Yellow. There wasnt a whole lot of options to choose from, but let me tell you I had that truck for 22 years. I managed to mess up the transmission at 80,000 miles and had it repaired at a Dodge dealership. One other problem was the catalytic converter got plugged up and it was covered under warranty at 49,000 and change. I put a Gaylord Lid on it right after I bought it. Then my next purchase was chroming the wheels and caps man that really looked nice. I always garaged It. I changed the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. I keep it looking new until I moved Las Vegas where all the drivers in this state suck. I was born and raised in California and went to school with Steven Seagal at Buena Park H. S. I don’t Own this truck anymore, because I went into a diabetic coloma and recked it, but not to bad. The problem is I live in a HOA. I really loved that truck and now I’m driving a 2019 Tacoma 4x4 offroad manual 6 speed so that’s my new build and it was made in the USA, San Antonio TX. As far as my Dakota that truck would Still light up the tires at 118,000 miles. My last set of tires was Michelins and they worked the best for all around tires. The Goodyears about 26,000 miles and a quite sticky tire for handling. I got a lot of Good comments on my Dakota. Never owned such a very good truck. If I still had it I would have probably have a new Hemi in it. That’s what you call the need for speed. The Magnum motor doesn’t even compare and the way I see it is it would have made a good candidate for the engine swap. - 5.0
Excellent piece of equipment

I purchased my 99 Dodge Dakota sport in 2003 with 52 k miles on it, so after 23 years and the thing has 270,425 Miles on it and is still running strong. Never really had any major problems with it. Just routine maintenance and I like to replace a part before it breaks. Prevents bigger problems. In my 43 years of driving I have never been more satisfied with a vehicle. - 5.0
Excellent small truck

I bought this used Dodge Dakota truck in 2010 with 34k miles on it. Today it has 56k and it runs beautifully. I regularly maintain it. No dings and in perfect condition. I am wondering how much I can sell it for should I want to do that. Any ideas?
