    NO MODS YET! 20" Enkeis with NT420 performance tires coming soon...inspired by genxer36.

    denial? These manufacturers still dominates the fading truck market. They got diesel models that can pull a bus. Now I'm not a "die hard" fan of Ford. To me a truck is a truck and I go with whatever is better deal. In the mid-sized truck market I think the Tacoma and Frontier dominates.
    Honestly I think foreign cars are better than American. And the main reason for that is the strategy American Auto makers use in all their models - "BUILD CHEAPER TO SELL LOWER THAN THE COMPETITION" - which is why their cars suck! Even Ford having tough time getting out the word that the quality in the Ford Focus is comparable to Toyota. lol
    You're right that die-hard fans of GMC,chevy,ford,dodge won't listen but I don't think it's denial because American 1/2 tons are better overall than Titan/Tundra.

    They both fit in my garage, just about it...

    Did the same, and it was the best decision

    LOL, agree. I called my Dakota a POS for about 3 1/2 years, owned it for 4.

    If you are reading this and "on the fence" between a Tacoma and Dakota. Do yourself a favor, and get the damn Tacoma and be happy! I was "on the fence" 4 years ago, and made the wrong decision between the two by choosing the Dakota.

    Friends don't let friends drive Dakotas. :D

    The old Dakotas looked good. I think the new one looks like crap... I had an '02 and loved it at the time... But now that I have a 2nd Gen taco... I love it more.... and it's better on gas.
