What Edmunds Says
Refinement appears to be the magic word at Dodge these days, and it shows in the all-new 2005 Dodge Dakota. Excellent powertrain options, nimble suspension and a well thought-out interior score major points, but the aggressive styling isn't for everyone.
Pros
Strong engine lineup, choice of part-time or full-time four-wheel drive, comfortable and refined interior, nimble handling.
Cons
No long bed or single cab models, club cab's backseat offers barely passable comfort for adults.
