Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Dakota?
Acceleration, rides smooth as glass, very comfortable seats, great driver's view; super towing power on V8; very comfortable for 4 adults in crew cab (or 5 for short trips);good bed capacity; very quiet; excellent acceleration even when towing!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Dakota?
The cup holders are only good for cans; the console latch gets stuck often (hard to open).

2006 Dodge Dakota Review:
I've owned F150 (5.4L) and Tundra(V6), the Dakota has better towing and people space than the Tundra, and great gas mileage compared to the F150. I recommend the V8 version with the towing package highly. I tow a 5000lb 'light' trailer and if I didn't see it in the rear view mirror, I'd never know I was towing, it's that smooth. My only regret is that I didn't pay the extra to get the 4WD!
