Dakota Vehicle Automobile:

New Dakota is substantially longer than the previous model...

Dakota competes against Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Toyota Tacoma, and Nissan Frontier. As with full-size pickups, competition for compact or mid-size trucks is hot. Though the Ranger is dated, Canyon, Colorado, Tacoma, and Frontier are totally new pickups for either 2004 or 2005. Dakota's biggest advantage, other than its larger size, is the availability V8 engines, not one, but two of them. Its towing capacity has been expanded to 7,150 pounds, by far the most in the class.

2005 Dodge Dakota Lineup

The test truck, which was configured for five with front bucket seats, was surprisingly quiet, smooth and civil in its behavior, more like a car than a truck inside. The glass is 20 percent thicker, mufflers are larger, and there's more sound insulation throughout the body and firewall than before. It drives bigger than it looks, with a hefty, Ram-like way about it, a nicely muscular street swagger. The 4.7-liter Magnum V8 engine costs a little extra, but for us it was worth every penny, because fuel mileage barely takes a hit (EPA-estimated City/Highway 15/19 for the V6, 14/19 for the V8). The 3.7-liter Magnum V6 is rated 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. The 4.7-liter V8 generates 230 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. The 4.7-liter High Output V8 wasn't available at press time, but is expected to put out more than 250 horsepower and more than 300 pound-feet of torque.
