I have a fleet of different type units and I desided to buy a dakota. Seemed like a good value and nice mid size truck. 
Well,  I just took delivery of a 2004 4x4 quad cab with the revised v6. I hate to say this: It is a pig.  It has no power. (It wont pull a wet noodle out of a chickens butt).  It struggles just to cruize at 55/60 mph.
Does anyone out there have them same feeling? If so, other than take the truck back, any suggestions?

Thanks for you reply and LOVING my nick name.
Employees tend to run the heck out of stuff that has a v/8. (burn outs, etc..)
I have 2 2001's with the older V6, not too happy with them either.  This year, we got 2004 at 2003 prices on our bids. I drove a 2 wd and thought I would give it a try. Well, 3rd time was not the charm.  I don't care if the dealers give us 2005 trucks for 2001 prices, I have learned the old lesson.  You get what you paid for.!!

Unless you can swing a deal to let me trade this one for one with a v8  at no additional cost? LOL You think that a v6 would give you a lttle more low end.
Most people will give up a little MPG or HP, but its bad when you can't get either!!

My 03 CC SXT 4x2 is horrible on low end, but mid to top isnt bad. I'm learning it is NOT a V8! I think we expect too much of these little V6's. Mine is 175hp, and I'm effectivly towing a 3000# camper with it.

16city and 21 hwy, cant complain for a 4000# truck.

Ummm, you complain you dont want your employee's doing burn-outs, then complain because they cant?

Also...maybe I dont want to know...but how do you know how hard it is to pull a wet noodle out of a chickens butt??
