Dodge announced pricing today for the new 2008 Dodge Dakota, which features six trim levels, new exterior and interior styling, many best-in- class capabilities and the most power of any pickup in the mid-size segment.
The new 2008 Dodge Dakota is available for $20,080 for Extended Cab models, and $22,780 for Crew Cab models. Prices include $645 destination. The new 2008 Dodge Dakota arrives in dealerships in August.
For 2008, the Dodge Dakota will again be offered in two body styles -- Extended Cab and Crew Cab -- and six trim levels: ST, SXT, SLT, TRX/TRX4, Sport and Laramie.
The 2008 Dodge Dakota's exterior includes a newly styled hood, grille, front fascia, rear spoiler, fenders and headlamps. All-new fascias integrate with the restyled grille and incorporate fog lamps. The 2008 Dodge Dakota's tailgate includes a new spoiler that helps smooth air flow over the rear of the truck to improve fuel economy, and the top surface of the cargo box has a new protective surface.
The new 2008 Dodge Dakota's interior includes a new instrument panel, center console and accent finishes, and several new interior storage choices. For 2008, the Dodge Dakota also offers the MyGIG(TM) Multimedia Infotainment System with 20-gigabyte hard drive and navigation radio. The 2008 Dodge Dakota Extended Cab's available Full Swing(TM) rear access doors open nearly 170 degrees -- unique in the segment -- to an interior with class-leading room and seating for five. With rear seats folded, up to 30 cubic feet of storage space is available. A total of four storage hooks are located on the Extended Cab's rear interior panel.
Separately, the 2008 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab offers best-in-class room: -- 37.1 cubic feet -- and seating for up to six. With rear seats folded, a new under-seat storage system, a first for Dodge Dakota, is easily accessible. This system includes a unique, collapsible and removable cargo management system that enables gear to be organized and taken anywhere. In addition, both the Extended and Crew Cabs offer a new cargo box utility rail system with four moveable tie-down cleats to facilitate storage needs.
The new 2008 Dodge Dakota is the most powerful mid-size pickup on the market, by virtue of a new V-8 engine -- the only V-8 option available in the mid-size pickup segment.
The new 4.7-liter V-8 offers more power and torque plus more than 5 percent better fuel economy than the previous 4.7-liter High Output engine. It also delivers improvements in refinement. It produces 302 horsepower, a 31 percent increase; and 329 lb.-ft. of torque, a 13 percent increase. The new engine is also capable of operating on E85 ethanol fuel, making the Dodge Dakota equipped with this engine a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV).
The new 2008 Dodge Dakota may be equipped with a transfer case featuring two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive with locked high and low ranges, or an available transfer case with full-time four-wheel drive as well as selections for locked high and low ranges. The 2008 Dodge Dakota is also the only pickup in its segment to offer full-time four-wheel drive.
