| The following
historical information on the Dodge Dakota, manufactured
by Daimler Chrysler, was retrieved from many
sources. This is
only a brief overview of certain important events in the
history of the Dodge Dakota Truck; before 1987 the Dodge
Dakota was called the Dodge Ram 50. We take you from 1987
to 2006.
The Dodge Dakota is known as a mid-size pickup. The Dodge
Dakota is a body-on-spring design and was the first work
truck to have rack and pinion steering.
 1997
saw the Dodge Dakota inherit the same semi-truck-look design
as it's bigger brother, the Dodge Ram. In 2002 Dodge dropped
the 4 cylinder in the Dodge Dakota as most truck enthusiasts
were opting for v6 or v8.
In the year 2005 Dodge stopped offering the Dakota in
Regular Cab; only the Club Cab or the Quad Cab were offered.
2006 saw the R/T return for the Dodge Dakota as well. More
