Dodge Dakota 3 Pickup (2005-2011)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Dodge Dakota 3 is a mid-size pickup in production from 2005 to 2011. It was available with either a 3.7L V6 or a 4.7L V8 SOHC engines in either RWD or 4WD guise. The Dakota 3 was available in either Club or Quad cab configuration.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Dodge Dakota III is hardly the "offroader" that Dodge would like you to think. Nevertheless, the vehicle offers good utility and has a rather attractive design.
