Never had any real problems with this truck. Had to replace very minor things such as a oil gauge switch and refrigeration line. Truck never broke down on me, and made it from Edmonton to Kitchener without any problems at all. I would suggest a Dakota for some one looking for towing smaller trailers or other things in the bed. The only reason I got rid of this vehicle was because of the deal I got on the Ram I purchased. Great truck and I will miss it.
