2008 Dodge Dakota Extended Cab
Like the Ram pickup, the Dakota shares similar styling cues that identify it unmistakably as a Dodge truck. The Dakota Club Cab offers extra room behind the front seats for cargo. Being a midsize truck allows the Dakota to offer real cargo and towing capacity advantages over its compact pickup competition. Engine choices include a 3.7L V-6 and 4.7L V-8, but no Hemi ®. Both are equipped with a standard 6-speed manual, which is a rarity in this class. A more stylish interior with aluminum colored trim adds sophistication to the Dakota.
What's New
The Dakota receives styling updates for 2008. Output of the 4.7L V8 increases to 302 hp, a gain of 42 hp.
