Available in Extended Cab and Crew Cab styles, the Dodge Dakota is one of the largest vehicles in its class. It comes powered by V6 and V8 engines, optionally driving all wheels.

For 2010, the Extended Cab models delete further trim levels, with only ST and Big Horn / Lone Star models remaining. ST models add body-color front and rear fascias, fog lights, and dual folding rear seats on Extended Cab models. Crew Cab Laramie models add leather seats. All models benefit from new front shock models and rear spring assemblies.
