Haven't decided if i am going to hang onto it or not. Need to do a little work on it and then we will see.
99 Dakota. 5.2 V8, automatic. Windows, locks, cruise, keyless, A/C, and everything works. Only has 82K miles. Original bedliner. Interior was pretty disgusting when i got it(they had a dog), but 4 hours of intense cleaning and scrubbing and it's looking and smelling good now.

Gas mileage is HORRIFIC. Way worse than the competition. My dad, sister, and aunt all had Durangos from that era and sold them because of the fuel economy.

Yep, it's a 12-16MPG truck. Since i am only going to use it to haul stuff, it probably won't see more than 1000 miles a year, so economy isn't a big deal to me.

All the ones mentioned above could only break double digit mileage on pure highway tanks, but they are a bit heavier.

Good power for towing stuff (not as good as one would expect from the mileage, but good)
