The 2006 Dodge
Dakota was the only entry in the pack of pick-ups released by US and import
manufacturers to come equipped with a V8 making it a powerful and attractive
option for many truck
lovers. What's more, Dodge seems to
have given more thought than Ford or GM to comfort and handling by furnishing the 2006 Dakota with
the smoothest ride in town. The cab of this year's Dakota provides ample space
for occupants and their stuff (whether "stuff" consists of toolboxes or the
kiddies' backpacks), a part or full-time 4-wheel drive and full-size pick-up towing
capability. Surprisingly, the 2006 Dodge Dakota contains a great number of
updates despite the fact thatt the truck was completely redesigned ony one year
previously in 2005. Some of the salient updates are a new optional sunroof,
enhanced audio system with a port for MP3 players, extended cab rear doors that open almost to a full one hundred
eighty degrees and an updated transmission. Most important for the present post,
as we shall soon see, the interior of the Dakota feels more like a car than it
does a truck. The controls are well-placed and designed and are all within easy
reach of the driver. The aluminum trim and white gauges add style but, as
reviewers have pointed out, the materials used on the dash pales in comparison
to some import pick-ups. Nonetheless, the Dakota lends itself well to
aftermarket mods such as vinyl dash kits and the Crew Cab is without equal when
it comes to adult carrying capacity. Thanks go out to Kenny for his awesome
install pics! Enjoy!
