Some truck buyers have been stuck in a quandary: don't need that bighonkin' full-size pickup, but the next size down doesn't meet the power
requirement to tow the boat to the lake.
Like no other truck on the planet, the Dakota fills that niche perfectly.
If you need to tow or haul something bigger than the Dakota will handle,
then face it: You need a full-size pickup. If you don't contemplate heavy
loads, one of the other compacts might do just fine. But if you have needs
that are somewhere in that great middle ground, there's nothing else available
that will do the job like the Dodge Dakota.
