2003 Dakota Quad Cab 4wd 4.7L????

Brother in law is looking at one with 9,000m on it for 18,600. Looking for input on these vehicles to help him out. Are they decent. I am afraid he will haul way more wood in it than it can safely carry but that is another story. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe he should consider using a two-axle trailer to haul firewood rather than the Dakota's bed (I'm assuming that's what you meant). He'd have a lot safer load capacity that way.



For that price, he could get a used Ram 2500 instead.

Good idea

I'll pass that on. I should talk him into a 10,000 lb capacity dump trailer so I can use it

My wife has an '01 QC 4. 7 5spd. It's been really reliable and problem free. It's got 62k on it. I don't think it could haul a lot of anything though. Except groceries! It's geared so high. It does seem like it likes, or needs to be revved. Maybe some bombs are in order. Nah.



I don't think that price sounds too bad. It depends on how it's equipped.
