Miles Overview
The 2002 Dakota is a mid-size pickup that splits the difference between a compact and a full-size truck. It rides like a proper truck, with a firm rear axle that lets you know when the bed is loaded. The Quad Cab's rear seats flip up, giving you a lockable storage area under them. Owners report O2 sensors failing early, and the steering rack can develop leaks as the truck ages. A step up from the base SXT, the SLT adds convenience features like cruise control and a nicer cloth interior. Its 4.7L V8 makes this Dakota feel genuinely quick, though you'll pay at the pump with 14 mpg combined. With four-wheel drive, the SLT handles snow and mud well, but expect a stiffer ride than a two-wheel-drive truck.
