2003 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 with the 4.7L V8 engine. Solid truck, accident free, non smoking vehicle with highway miles. The truck has bed liner, rear window, very clean interior, shift on the fly 4 wheel drive, and factory tow package. No rips or tears in the seats or cracks in the dash. Carpet is in good condition with no unusual wear. All dials and gauges work with no error codes or warning lights. The air conditioner compressor was replaced last summer and the air is ice cold. Just installed new brakes on all 4 wheels, and the serpentine belt was replaced as preventative maintenance. It has a K&N aftermarket air cleaner for increased performance and fuel economy. Rear tires have 85% tread left, the front tires have 25% tread remaining. Paint is all original and shiny and overall in good condition. There is rust on the rear bumper and a little on the tailgate, but otherwise the truck still looks very good. There is damage to the plastic wheel surrounds on the drivers side after scraping a post. They are barely noticeable, and could be easily replaced as no metal was damaged. There are several scrapes and dings around the bed of the truck, but no major damage. Most would be covered with an over the rail bed liner (current one is not), or spray on bed liner. I have never towed anything with the truck but the engine is powerful and will do a great job with boats and campers, etc. Also, I have never used the truck for plowing. Finally, there is an exhaust leak and it will need repaired or replaced, but otherwise I know of no other mechanical issues that need to be performed. There are no fluid leaks, smoke, or funny noises with the engine, it is a perfect running truck. It drives straight and the suspension is tight and responsive. I used the truck as a daily driver and construction delivery vehicle and have owned it since Oct of 2012. I have taken the truck to New Jersey and North Carolina on a regular basis and would trust the truck to drive it across the country.
This would make an outstanding first vehicle, landscape truck, or 4x4 toy. The lucky bidder will not be disappointed with this truck. $500 due immediately upon purchase and balance due in cash. I'll help with shipping if needed, and would encourage test drives or independent inspections. If you have additional questions, please call 330.421.1510. KBB says the truck is worth $4622 based on the mileage in "good" condition. Best of luck to all!

2014 Dodge Durango teaser reveals new 'racetrack' taillights

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Not wanting to let Jeep get all of the SUV attention for the 2014 model year, Dodge is unveiling a refreshed version of its Durango at the New York Auto Show. Teased in this image, all we can really tell about the 2014 Dodge Durango is that it will be getting Dodge's "racetrack" taillights similar to the Charger and Dart.
The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket. Parent company Chrysler also promises that the updated Durango will add "several new class-exclusive features," but stops short of saying what those are. Earlier reports suggest that among the changes, buyers will be able to look forward to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which ought to improve the three-row SUV's fuel efficiency.

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.

Performance doesn't matter anymore, it's all about the feel

Wed, Aug 24 2022

We've just had a week of supercars and high-end EVs revealed. Many of them boast outrageous performance specs. There were multiple vehicles with horsepower in the four-figure range, and not just sports cars, but SUVs with 0-60 mph times under 3.5 seconds. And it's not just a rarified set of supercar builders, comparatively small tuners are also building this stuff. Going fast is easy nowadays and getting easier. So what will distinguish the greats from the wannabes? It's all about how a car feels. This may seem obvious. "Of course it matters that a car should have good steering feel and a playful chassis!" you say. "Why are you being paid for this stuff?" But a lot of automakers have missed the memo. This past week I spent some time in a BMW M4 Competition convertible, and it's a perfect example of prioritizing performance over experience. It boggles my mind how a company can create such dead and disconnected steering; the weight never changes, there's no feel whatsoever. The chassis is inflappable, but to a fault, because it doesn't feel like anything you're doing is difficult or exciting. The car is astoundingly fast and capable, but it feels less like driving a car and more like tapping in a heading on the Enterprise-D. I also happened to drive something of comparable performance that was much more enjoyable: a Mercedes-AMG GT. It was a basic model with the Stealth Edition blackout package, and even though it had a twin-turbo V8 instead of a six-cylinder, it only made 20 more horsepower. The power wasn't the big differentiator, it was (say it with me) the feel. While not the best example, the steering builds resistance as you dial in lock, giving you a better idea of what's happening up front. Pulses and vibrations come back to you as you move over bumpy pavement in corners. The chassis isn't quite as buttoned down, either, providing a little bit of body roll that tells you you're pushing it. It's also easier to feel when the car is wanting to understeer or oversteer, and how your throttle and steering inputs are affecting it. The whole thing is much more involving, exciting and fun. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Stealth Edition View 8 Photos That's also to say nothing of the Merc's sounds. That V8 is maybe not the best sounding engine, but its urgent churn through the opened-up exhaust gets your heart racing. It also seems like it's vibrating the whole cabin, so you feel it as much as you hear it.
