My New '95 Dakota

[AngliaGT]

After looking for some time,found this '95 for a fair price.
Almost no rust,V6,automatic,rebuilt transmission,decent repaint -
(these had the pealing paint problem).108,000 miles.
My old '96 F150 got 12-14 mpg,this gets closer to 20.
I still want one with 4WD,but couldn't pass this one up for $1800.View attachment 59073View attachment 59074View attachment 59075View attachment 59076View attachment 59077

Does that have the small jump seats in the back?

 

[AngliaGT]

Yes it does,& they face forwards.It'll also tow my car trailer.
It has a really good towing capacity,& is a size between a small
& full size truck.You also sit about 1-1/2 feet lower than the F150.

Those are good looking trucks. Enjoy!

Looks great! I prefer a mid sized truck

WOW! Nice find, Doug! Looks like it's been well cared for. That bed cap/camper shell is a nice addition as well.

It is,but makes it hard to judge distance
when parking/backing up.

is there a story...?

I had another Dakota ('94) with a canopy.
When I parked it,I thought I was right in front of
the vehicle behind me.When I looked,I still had
about 5 feet of space between the two.
You'll often see damage on the right rear bumper
of pickups with canopies due to misjudging.
