Written by man on February 27th, 2010 in Other.
Dodge’s main aim as an automobile brand is to offer superb models of pickup lorries that will survive even the most hideous environment circumstances. As a matter of fact, one of its outstanding pickup van models is the so-called Dodge Dakota. This model is essentially a mid-size pickup which was initially introduced into the global market in the year 1987. It has a not so sophisticated vehicle design with a live axle and leaf spring rear end as well as a body-on-frame structure. It is being powered by the up to the minute V8 mechanical engine and therefore, thought of as the first tiny pickup van to use such kind of engine.
Just like every other models of automobiles in these modern times, the Dakota pickup truck of Dodge also comes in various generations. Its first generation is in truth the Dodge Shelby Dakota, which was produced from the year 1987 up to the year 1996. It has either 2-door convertible or 2-door pickup lorry body styles with 3-speed or 4 gear automated transmission as well as 5 gear manual transmission. Against this, its 2nd generation was created from 1997 up to 2004. It has 2-door and 4-door pickup truck body styles with 5-speed manual transmission and 4-speed automated transmission too. It was then in the year 2005 when Dodge has decided to start producing the 3rd generation of Dakota pickup. This generation actually has the same body styles with the second generation. The only difference is the undeniable fact that the third genre has superb transmission like the 6-speed Getrag 238 manual transmission as well as the 5 speed 545RFE and 4 gear 42RLE automatic transmission.
Indeed, Dodge Dakota entails a big range of generations. Each generation may seem to have the same qualities but the newer generation is an improvement of the other prior generation. Hence, you have to expect that a better Dakota pickup truck will be available in the following coming years once a new generation has been made.
