Best truck I

WOLFGANG posted:
What this country needs is a good small PU that handles decently and gets good gas mileage. Can't believe the small pickups have disappeared and only now is Ford bringing the Ranger back - to find they sell as fast as they can make them! Even the Tacoma is too big. With waning sales of the new beetle (and its demise), VW will regret they didn't think of the PU!

Agreed! Back around 2002, I needed a truck that could:

1) tow a decent payload

2) fit in my garage

3) seat 5 if needed, 4 comfortably.

At the time, only the Dakota fir the bill. It was a true mid-size truck with a V8 powerful enough to tow, had a crew cab, and would fit in my garage.
