'06 Dakota is UGLY!
I am a huge Ford fan and currently own 2 large Ford vehicles. That being said, I have always liked the Dodge Dakotas and think that they fill a nice niche in the mid-size truck market. They have the 4.7L V8 as an option and it flat out hauls butt. That being said, what is Dodge thinking with the new design? The '06 Dakota is the ugliest truck I have ever seen. I mean, I thought GM's new triangle headlights were ugly but this new Dakota is uglier

I agree. I had a 98 Dakota with the selectable awd which I loved. Good mid size, v-8 power. Great in the winter, easily fit into the trails, and it had a useable back seat. Unfortunately it needed almost as many trips to the stealer for repairs as the 04 f150 that I have now. However, seeing what ford has to offer, I would already have been back into the Dakota but for the heidous front end. The instant I get word that Dodge has fixed that, I'm back to Dodge. I'm sorry guys but ford just doesn't have it for me. The stealers around here won't cover almost any warranty work and the 04 needs alot.

that 4.7 and auto trans behind it is why my first dakota went lemon and won. they replaced it and that was also the same problems.
the first kept blowing the heads off pumping anti freeze into the oil and looseing the trans "3 times " .the second was pumping anti freeze into the oil after 30k. so i wholesale'd it .
the auto trans well that is making a lot of money for my familys trans shop right now thats how bad it is . and in any week we can have 5 of 8 lifts tied up with dodges full size and dakotas.
sorry if i seem down on dodge. but they are good for 2 things putting them down and making money for tranie/repair shops
