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. The SLT sits above the base SXT and below the Sport, adding convenience features like cruise control and a nicer cloth interior. Under the hood is the optional 5.9L V8 paired with the automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, giving you strong towing capability but 12 mpg combined around town. The SLT's standard four-wheel drive and limited-slip rear axle mean you'll get moving in snow or mud without much fuss.
