I was looking for a truck but didn't want an over sized behemoth that current trucks have morphed into. After reading many reviews and articles I came to the conclusion that the Dakota was the best buck for the bang. You can pick one up for $5000-$10,000 CAD in excellent shape with low Km/miles. They aren't a small truck like the Rangers are and the GMC/Chevrolet with those ugly fender arches ... or overpriced like most foreign models. The body lines of the 2005-07 Dakota just seem to speak to me except that front bumper ... lol I had planned to replace the bumper with a aftermarket, actually I had plans to replace/add a lot of stuff from the rims to the light bar on top ... but after having her sit in my drive-way for a few and taking it all in ... I'm keeping her bone stock. The only thing I would replace on this truck would be the interior carpet and seats and some engine mods like the JBA shorties/ Magflow "y"pipe, '08 air intake manifold ... etc. So far to date all I've done is completely replace the front suspension with Moog/Rancho and front rotor and caliper with powerstop I added the calipers after the fact .... red ofc.
