Dakota enjoyed slightly higher sales through most of 1991, while most all other pickups suffered declines. Dodge attributed the upturn to introduction of the V8, ordered in 50 percent Club Cabs and 20 percent of regular cabs as well as a minor face-lift, new optional package discounts, and availability of 4WD in the Club Cab. These improvements made Dakota even more attractive, enough to put it at the top of any small truck buying shipping list along with Ford’s Ranger. If compact pickups were too tiny and full size models too big, Dakota may have just been the answer to your 1992 needs.
Since 2005, some compact pickups have been roughly the size of the Dodge Dakota. The Toyota Tacoma would be larger for 2005, and GM’s compact trucks became larger for 2015.
