- In this video I give a full in depth tour of a 1996 Dodge Dakota V8. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this truck while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this truck designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Sweet looking Dakota. This is my idea of what a truck should be, attractive, yet utilitarian, comfortable, and yet durable.
My grandparents had a truck like this and it was a 1993 extended cab with a 3.9L V6 and we used to drive it to Indianapolis for yardsales when I was 7 years old.
I LOVE the older Dakotas! Great video as always and thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous truck! So reliable
Awesomebro6 it's probably one of my favorite tricks ever made. Top 7 lol
My dad used to have one of these. I loved it because it looked pretty sick, blue and silver with a red pin stripe.
I had a 96 extra cab I ordered from the factory. Loved that truck. SLT, 4x4, manual transmission, had the 318 but mine was fuel injected unlike this truck that is carbureted. Came with an 8 speaker infinity sound system. Was an awesome truck!
this is fuel injected
This is a 5.2 Magnum, which designates the fact that it has Electronic Port Fuel Injection
glad i found this video i always thought my blinker wiring system was messed up but glad to see its just part of the truck turning indication
This is my favorite Gen of Dakota, especially in extended cab SLT V8 trim like this one...awesome truck.
Very strong and reliable truck I hope to get one as my first car
I love the sound of old power windows! Reminds me of my mom's old minivan.
Sweet looking truck. I've always loved this generation Dodge Dakota. I'd buy one if I were in the market for one. :)
I love the sound of Dodge V8 Start Ups
Omg I would have bought that truck in a heartbeat. Awesome shape for its age!
My thoughts as well very nice and those ones are reliable
Beautiful truck. I like everything about it.
bit of a late responce. but i have a 94 dakota. how exactly do u rip the buzzer out?
I can smell this truck
Call me at 8438770031 robert
That is a sweet little truck
this truck is so gorgeous
That's the exact same truck I have...they're beasts
i used to have a truck just like that except mine was a 95 and it was 4 wheel drive. mine had same interior package and color, and outside was the same color too. it was the best truck i ever owned and it had 214k when i got rid of it. even the a/c still worked. wish i'd have kept it
Nice man, I wanna one !!
the 1991-1996 Dodge Dakota was assembled in
Warren, Michigan, United States
No way! I love these 1st gen Dakotas!
i had one EXACTLY like this until it got totalled...it was very dependable
@TheKoreanX ok, that's the air cleaner. the earlier version of fuel injection was known as TBI throttle body injection. I guess it does resemble a carbureted engine upon first seeing it. This truck has TBI, later models got multi port injection
@TheKoreanX just curious, what makes you think this truck is carbureted, because it has fuel injection just like pretty much every other vehicle since the late 80's
Kyle the compartment you opened after the garage door opener was for sunglasses. My Cherokee has that same setup.
@2004NissanSentra Did the base models of the 1998 Dodge Ram Truck with roll-up windows and dual airbags use a scary buzzer or not?
@fanowner12 actually the factory stereo on a 98 ram is compatable with those dakotas. that's what i put in my 95 and it sounded awesome. i also liked how back then dodge put the rear speakers lower down instead of right next to your ear like chevy did
Nice truck
Did the redesigned 1997 Dakota use the same buzzer this one used or a chime instead?
that buzzer makes me want to die lol
Dnuccio95ZJ luckily they're easy to remove
i like the buzzer
Tessa Fultz Me too.
gotta love the oldies lol
@barnie7219 Your right. Most people when they see a air filter like that, they automatically asume it's a carberator when in fact they were a air filter.
I remember my dad's 92 dakota had that buzzer lol I remember always being like shut the door dad lol
That's snap perfect timing 😁
the transmission on the 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota
Transmission
3-speed automatic
4-speed automatic
5-speed manual
I like the brake light on the tailgate
i agree. i have an 01 dodge ram 1500 but it doesnt have the buzzer it has a chime thing thats much less annoying. dodge got rid of the buzzer and replaced it with the chime in 1998.
mine is the same color of green. do you know what shade they call it?
IM buying this truck this weekend.
I'm getting one next week. It's only a V6 and the frame is rusted out, but hey, it's a free truck!
Simplex SM i got my 1995, it’s only rusty at the top of the cab but all though she runs pretty smooth
@@anthonyproctor9105 I got mine for free straight body and no rust, just need a fix in the engine area
those are good oold little work trucks
My first car was a '96 Dakota. I really wish I had kept that truck.
where do i find this truck to buy
BTW, speaking of Dakotas, my dad was going to buy a '93 Dakota just like this one (except with the 3.9), but he decided on a '93 Jeep Cherokee Country 4DR with the 4.0L High-Output I6 and Automatic 4X4 in Black/Silver Metallic instead.
those mid 90s dakotas are good trucks...ive owned 3 and never had a major problem with any of them...the factory timing chains do stretch early and need to replaced but a good aftermarket kit takes care of that.
working shlub timing chains? Is it sohc? Or is the timing chain a double?
i like the model from around 1999, my father owned a 1999 dakota
Just Some Loli With a Mustache the 97 and up Dakota was the same underneath as the 92-96 but the body was changed (the body was much heavier on the 97 and up).
Best model ever
@barnie7219 you can't have carberation and fuel injecton at the same time, correct me if i'm wrong but thats what it looked like you were saying.
@saabkyle04 ,kyle maby you can a small test between chevy S 10 and the dokota
@ConkerPucci13
Where would you find one online?
haha my first car was a 95 dodge dakota with the same color combo as that one. o good times crawling through the rear window cause the side doors wouldnt open. or driving in snow after removing the sand bags from the back cause it was april and we didnt think it would snow any more :P
I had 2. Both 95 4x4 club cabs. One was the 5.2 v8 the other was a v6. There were great. Recommend the v8 over the v6 though.
Had the v6 sport and when il buy myself a house i tink im gonna go buy myself the v8 4x4
5:20 3 doors down ftw! :D
@RFFan97 the buzzer is annoying when I restored mine I removed it from the fuse block under the dash, its easy to do. on the newer ones they bury it in the dash.
EUROEMOGUY1998 no need to rip it out of the newer ones, because the buzzer is not annoying
The buzzer went off
I love my 94. doing a 6 speed swap on it soon
Do you still have it
@datboiwes3 comes ith a 4.7 liter v8 tho. They discontinued the 5.2 and 5.9 engines after 2003. didn't like em much anyway, people liked them for the simple fact that they were BIG. Size plays half the role in the performance department if you know what i mean.
Does no one else notice that the front lights look exactly like the 1996 ford f150.
Because Ford copied em
Not really. The Dakota got those lights in '91. The F-150 got the somewhat similar ones a year later. Takes more than a year to design a truck.
AJ JERO i often confuse them
AJ JERO they more or less look like the Ford Ranger to me
Thomas Montagno ford didn't copies dodge.Dodge copied Ford.I use to have a 1996 ford f150.
@TheKoreanX Thats a air filter. It looks like a carberator, but it's a air filter.
i think these dakotas fit in the european market
compact not small have a V8 inside.
what happend to the dakota stil in production ?
Im selling my 86 Firebird, and definitely will be looking for one of these!
EndIessIy since this is a five year old comment, did you end up getting one?
@@brandondannys-menary3678 9 years now, no news.
@@titus3264 lmao
How much does it cost?
That Dakota is barely broken in at 156k on the odometer...my 94 is running strong at 215k on the clock..
We had the same truck before my dad bought the current truck that we have.
do a buick rendevous start up and tour
My grandpa has the truck except his is a 93 red and regular cab
5.2 is the bulletproof 318, later dropped by the 4.7
That was a huge screw up for Dodge.
@ElectroGhandi You'd be surprised, manufactuers thought it'd be too expensive to find a company to manufacture a chime box. If it bothers someone they could rip it right out (:
1998 wad the best year!!!
6:12 Song name?
I want one of these
worth it.
Thinking about one for a first truck, maybe a 97 since it gets more mpg than my mom's 2013 F150(15MPG)
According to Google the Dakota gets about 25MPG
@randomhero713 If its the 318 its a great deal
@EUROEMOGUY1998 i ripped that thing out years ago. i forgot how bad it was untill i watched this vid. lol i have a 96 Club Cab SLT with the 5.2
@Propel3453 haha why did u remove the comment?
@talldude123 neither have i. Thats why the power/weight ratio wasn't right. The back half of the truck would lose traction very easiley. I know pickups lose traction faster than lets say suvs because all the weight was in the front. But that damn dodge has a 5.2 liter in it. That is too much for that 3900 lb truck.

Billy Loughridge one of my favorites
i literally said thank you when you closed the door to turn off the alarm
That chime is music to my ears 🎶
Kaden that’s called a buzzer bzzzzzzzz
@@adawg2015 A lot of Dodge's from that era had that door buzzer thing rather than a chime.
you can turn the buzzer off... i did in mine
anybody think the Cummins from the 2500 would fit in there?
EliteSofa it would be interesting if it did.
EliteSofa that would be my dream truck
@Goldenrod636 HAHA i unplugged mine and was quick to toss it out the window the first day i got my truck.
What is up with that buzzer in a 1996 MY truck?
The warning buzzer and warning lamp illumination at start up is a system warning function test.
It has been around since the mid to late 60's when vehicle manufacturers were equipping vehicles with warning lights and a buzzer to alert drivers to a malfunction with critical vehicle functions like oil pressure being too low, engine temperature too high, battery voltage/amperage too low, low fuel, low washer fluid and seatbelt use reminder.

The whole truck is 1996 going on 1986, save for the airbag-equipped steering wheel.
[deleted] actually no. The Dakota was redesigned in 1992 to make room for the V8. Prior to 1992 the only way to get a V8 was with the Shelby Dakota.
The 1989 Dodge Dakota Sport and the 1996 Dodge Dakota SLT Club Cab I used to have had the same dashboards.
Only difference was the speedometer in the 1989 had a box around the 55 MPH and the 1996 didn't as after 1993 the 55 MPH National Speed Limit Mandate by Congress was lifted.
HOLY CRAP IS THAT DOOR BUZZER REALLY NECESSARY HAHAHA
Bet it’s still on the road to this day.... merica!
My dad had a truck like that
That buzzer sounds like a fire alarm.
@ElNormo91 a lot of cars do that
didn't the Dodge brothers supplied parts to Ford , until they made enough money to start their own brand
my dad had the sport but its a 95 his got smashed the whole chasie got shifted 3 in and it got fixed then it died then that was the end rip dodge dakoda 95-99

Sadly my grandfather's Dakota is no longer with us:(.
why does it say 1997 on the windshield?
I know this is a 3 year old comment, but it says 3997.
Like these 1st generation truck like that for Dodge Dakota 1987-1996 old school model year. This 1st grille was 1987-1990 model year. When late 1990 hit they made a another grille which is the 2nd one for first generation for 1991-1996 model year. Well 1994 saw few minor changes when they still had the old Dodge D Series which the last of this truck when Dodge D Series was discontinued after the 1994 model year, they brought Dodge Ram airbags for 1994-1996 model years. 1996 will be the last year of this first generation Dodge Dakota because the engine was out of production and has been considered as vastly underpowered compared to competion. So Dodge replaced the engine. And 1996 has gotten too old for the truck and Dodge Dakota Convertible was discontinued after the 1996 model year so the will bring a brand new larger truck for next generation for the 1997 model year. 1997-2011 Dodge Dakotas are faster than 1996 and older models. Buzzing sounds by starting up this Dodge Dakota Truck for 1987-1996 model year, while Dodge Ram is 1948-1997 model year.
Cordell Lewis I think somebody just copy and pasted off of Wikipedia to look smart
carburated 5.2 ?
9 years too late but no. They have fuel rails and injectors.
2:46 looks like it has an alarm system
