1987 Dodge Dakota Long Term Wrap Up

The original ‘right size’ truck! The Dodge Dakota was conceived by Chrysler management as the first “mid-sized” pickup combining the nimble handling and fuel economy of a compact pickup with cargo handling capacity approaching that of full-sized pickups. To keep investment low, many components were shared with existing Chrysler products and the manufacturing plant was shared with the full-sized Dodge D-Model. The name Dakota means “friend” or “ally” in the Sioux language. wiki
