The 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab pickup meets all current safety standards, and also complies with 2003 head-impact standards. Dodge engineers would rather not, and so the Dakota Quad Cab, even in 4x4 trim, feels more like a sedan than a truck. Good soundproofing keeps road and wind noise to levels most commonly associated with family cars, not trucks, and all-around visibility is excellent in the manner of a pickup. The steering is light, and, despite the huge tires, the Dakota has no tendency to wander on the highway. The four-wheel drive system is operated by a lever on the floor for reliability in extreme conditions.
Acceleration is very good, and steep hills present no problems.
It was designed especially to work with the 4.7-liter V8, and they make an excellent combination. With the proper axle ratio, towing ability can be up to 5,800 lbs. The 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab pickup offers comfort, convenience, and power in a usefully-sized package. Fuel Capacity 24 gal. The Auto Channel.
