I have a 03 Dakota 4WD with the 4.7 V8. I bought it at 36,000 and I just hit 90,000 miles. In the last month the transfer case stopped switching and will not come out of 2WD (bad switching motor I assume) and the drivers door window regulator went out. Otherwise I've had no trouble. Based on my experience, I would buy another Dakota. Condition and maintenance history means a lot. If you found a good one, I'd go for it.
