I ran into some money problems and traded in my WRX for this Dakota in 2004. Despite being a V6 it was a pretty peppy truck and fun to drive. The biggest issue was that the previous owner had lowered it by cutting the springs instead of doing it properly so it went through ball joints like a fat kid at a buffet. It served me well for 4 years and I traded it in on an Infiniti G35 in 2008.
