2nd Gen.

Don't like the hard edges on the 3rd Gen.





I have to agree although I kind of like the 08's compared to the 05-07. 3rd Gen. ass ends look retarded. I love the 1st Gen. ruggedness but I love the 2nd Gen. altogether......I'll go with the 2nd Gen.

I have noticed some of the 2nd Gen. have a higher ride height compared to other 2nd Gen. Mine is one of the high riding ones, thank god.

Well ofcourse everyone is going to pick what they own/want to own.

I don't understand the whole "1st gen is the strongest/beefiest". The transmissions were junk, the rear ends aren't as tough as the 3rd gens' 9 1/4". It isn't a full box frame like the 3rd gen....

Anyway, I like the 2nd gen the best even though I have a 3rd. I needed the 3rd gen for the better towing cap, so I opted for one. I like the better aftermarket and smoother aero of the 2nd gen.

2nd generation dakotas were the best looking and the best all around.  I have a 1st and 2nd generation, and I do like the 1st generation alot too.  2nd gen dakotas had it all, the looks and better engine options.  the new 4.7's have a ton of problems and it's the only available v8 in the new dakotas.  I would love to see an updated version of the old LA motors again, they were tough as nails and had a TON of power potential with a little cash.

yea id have to go with the 3nd gens too, my 1st gen had sooo many problems idk how many timing chains it chewed up and i dont remeber everything else, but some of it was prob the dealers fault, but still, and i dont care for the 3rd gens looks, but the 08 id buy, still rather have a 2nd gen
