1994 Dodge Dakota Review

The full-size Dodge Ram badly needed new life. However, it w4s felt that a better immediate opportunity lay in the midsize-truck market, where Ford and Chevy were just beginning to establish themselves. Enter the Dodge Dakota. Midsize, all right, but just a little bigger in payload and interior. The timing was right as pickup sales began to surge: Dakota was a solid sales hit. And Chrysler kept fine-tuning it with a new V6 engine, trim packages, an extended cab and 4WD versions. Then the 318 CID 5.2-liter 220-hp Magnum V8 was added to the mix. Another hit.
