2005 | 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 230-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Largest cab with the most usable room in class. I only purchase mid-size trucks and was tired of being cramped in other mid-size trucks I had previously owned. see full Dodge Dakota review |

Front seats of these two are about equal, but Dakota has more rear seat room and better rear-cab-area capacity for cargo see full Dodge Dakota review |

So bad I can't drive it much more than the 4 miles to and from work. The front seats are so hard that the first couple times I drove it I couldn't figure out why my feet were so cold. Because the circulation below my knees was being cutoff. I have tried extra cushions for the seat bottom and I have found something that really helps, but on longer drives, combined with the firm ride - bring your Advil. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review |
