    Dakotas are pieces of shit. If you like driving trucks that have shitty balljoints, trash heater cores every 20k, and are just plain pieces of shit, then yeah, get a Dakota.

              If you want a full size pickup you can really that you could do anything with and still get great milage then you want a dodge cummins.

              Youll get the best milage with the older 12 valve engine (94-98.5) though the 24 valve (98.5-02) and common rail (03-pres.)get damn good milage with a programer, and they will last forever. the 12 valve is absolutely indestructable though.

              I have a large fuel plate and full length 5" exhaust (350hp 700ftlbs wheel) and i get 21mpg and 17 towing 75 mph on interstate. A 2wd version can get upwards of 25mpg

              rx7-8.89@157mph

                Shit that is funny..... i owned a mint 97 2wd 5speed ranger with the 2.3L before i traded for the cummins.

                And this is no lie.... sure you can get 25-28 mpg traveling at 50mph and I did... but on the interstate it was a joke.... that thing was labored to death trying to keep 75 on flat ground even with a little headwind, and on the west side of bismarck when you start getting hills.... fuck it was all over, i kinda felt bad for the engine.

                I never got better than 17mpg on all the trips i made from Wahp to home 350miles, All interstate, and this pickup was perfect running condition
                Reliable...very

                          I already posted what I get, but here it is again. I have a 4x4, etc. It gets 18-21 mpg on the interstate...going 80 mph, depends on the winds.
