I have a 2002 Dakota Sport Quad Cab with the 5.7 engine and Auto tranny. It began life as a family truckster. After we bought the wife an A-6 it became my truck. I use it for Home Depot runs and for towing my RX-7 to race events on a car trailer.
I once towed the RX-7 on the trailer with a spare set of tires and the bed loaded to capacity with tools, canopy chairs luggage etc... from Florida to Indy and back over a 5 day period for a Rotary only event.
We cruised at 80 MPH the whole way, and did the drive back without stopping except for gas. It got 12-14 MPG throught the trip and never complained.
I have never had it in for an unscheaduled service call. It has been an awesome truck and now has 55K miles on it. I would buy another in a second.
I stubled upon this picture last night when I was cleaning out my server.
This was a pic as we left for Indy.
