Destroyer my 01 Quad cab 4x4 Dakota I totalled was one of my favorite trucks. I love my tahoe but that was a fast, powerful rig with the 4.7 in it. Other than the Hoe having alot more weight the Dakota towed a lot better power wise.

When my son was badly hurt in a motorcycle accident a few years ago I had to go to Az to be with him. I rented a Dakota sport cab with the 4.7 for a few weeks. Gotta say it was one of the most enjoyable pickups I've ever driven in that size class. Understand that I drove a Ford Ranger for 6 years and a GMC Canyon POS for another few. Both of them were way worse than the Dakota in ride, gas mileage, acceleration, etc.
