Dodge's main target as a car brand is to offer fantastic models of pickup lorries that may survive even the most hideous environment circumstances.  As a matter of fact, one of its exceptional pickup lorry models is the so-called Dodge Dakota.  This model is really a mid-size pickup which was initially introduced into the global market in the year 1987.  It has got a not so sophisticated auto design with a live axle and leaf spring rear end as well as a body-on-frame structure.  It is being powered by the up to the minute V8 mechanical engine and thus, considered as the first little pickup truck to use such kind of engine. 

Just like every other models of automobiles in these modern times, the Dakota pickup wagon of Dodge also comes in diverse generations.  Its first generation is in truth the Dodge Shelby Dakota, which was produced from the year 1987 up to the year 1996.  It has either 2-door convertible or 2-door pickup truck body styles with 3-speed or 4 gear automatic transmission as well as 5-speed manual transmission.  In contrast, its second generation was made from 1997 up to 2004.  It has 2-door and 4-door pickup wagon body styles with 5 speed manual transmission and 4-speed automated transmission too.  It was then in the year 2005 when Dodge has made a decision to start producing the 3rd generation of Dakota pickup.  This generation essentially has the same body styles with the second generation.  The only difference is the undeniable fact that the 3rd genre has superb transmission like the 6-speed Getrag 238 manual transmission as well as the 5-speed 545RFE and 4 gear 42RLE automatic transmission. 

Indeed, Dodge Dakota entails a big range of generations.  Each generation may have the same qualities but the more recent generation is an improvement of the other previous generation.  Hence, you've got to expect a better Dakota pickup wagon will be available in the subsequent coming years once the latest generation has been made.
