I ought to save the extra money to get a Toyota, but am seriously thinking of getting a Dodge Dakota. I don't want to get a new anything but constant repairs on my 20 year old junkers is driving me crazy.

So... Anybody out there got a Dakota? Any problems? I am interested in them because you can put in some 2x4's and build a shelf over the wheel fenders and haul a full 4x8 sheet of whatever in the truck, and yet it is still a small truck.

Any comments appreciated
