Well its official my dakota is gone. Checked the dealer today and they sold my dakota. They said they had a lot of people looking at it but when they found out it was a V8 it turned people away. I guess someone who don't care about rising gas prices bought it. As far as my Jeep Patriot goes I have 1200 miles on it now and am getting 20.5mpg. Oh and there are going to be 2 lift kits out for it now. Rocky road has a 2.125" kit out and rock krawler is making a 2 or 3" kit. ( sorry just had to rub it in a little) I still do miss my dakota somewhat. I figure the money I'm saving on gas means more money for goodies.

13.7 / 101.3 in the 1/4 mile

Well where going back to 4-10s this week so that means the Dak can sit home for three days a week. One day of not driven into work for me is 111 miles off the books. The fuel is really starting to get to me/us as far as eating into the family budget. It was cool since my daughter move out last year and I've been traveling allot and leaving the Dak home for 20/30 days at a time but even with that it's still killing us. I'm thinking about getting a 4 banger beater for my work ride. I love my Dak it’s just a nice ride and though it could of and should of been better thought out and executed by DCX it's still a dam nice truck.

Give the guy a break at least he stayed in the mopar family. Wait til the goverment gets off their butts and does something about our ridiculous economy and the gas prices and get another dakota down the road they'll only get better over time.

Its ok I have always liked jeeps and it seems jeep finally came out with a model that gets good gas mileage and can do some offroading. I am very happy with the patriot and getting 20mpg in stop and go city type driving is great. I have been a truck guy for so long and with gas pricesrising,I guess it was time for a change.

You could have opted for a v6 dakota mine gets 20-21mpg on the highway and they can still be optioned out pretty well.
