These and the Durango's rode so stiff and felt so cheap. Really a shame considering you can get a 6-speed manual with the V6 and you had not one, but TWO different 4.7L V8 options.

I have a base model dakota and it rides very smooth.
My Larime rides awesome and really dose not handle like you would expect a 4x4 v8 to, super stable
My 06 4x4 rides pretty well. You definitely know you're driving a truck, but it's reasonably smooth and quiet with zero rattles or squeaks.
I like the second generation trucks. They looked so much better
Agreed. The front end on the 05 just looks goofy and wrong.

Club Cab has the swing out doors. Quad Cab had the "full size" rear doors.
@@silentbuccaneer4569 "Club Cab" I got it, Thanks! I'd like to buy a 2005-20?? Dakota, but hear the 3.7 and 4.7 are fragile! Michael
