High praise for the 2010 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab TRX4 4X4

If you’re in the market for a truck, this blog post is for you because I’m here to tell you that the 2010 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab TRX4 4X4 is the most interesting, versatile, and well-equipped mid-size truck on the market today! Don’t believe me? Just ask the leading Central Illinois used car and new car dealer Green Dodge. They hooked me up with my Dakota Crew Cab and I have not been disappointed so I want to share with you what makes this truck so great.

Let’s start with power. When it comes to the engine for Dakota Crew Cab, you’re able to choose between a 3.7 liter V6 and a 4.7-liter V8 that produces 302 horsepower. Either can be paired with two or four wheel drive and a four or five speed transmission. The V6 earns 15/20 mpg city/highway for two-wheel drive and 14/18 mpg city/highway for four-wheel drive, while the V8 earns 14/19 mpg city/highway on either two- or four-wheel drive. After looking at the numbers it seems the V8 offers the biggest bang for the buck so that’s the one I would go with.

These are impressive numbers, but for me, the truck’s value lies in its versatility. It’s listed as a mid-size truck, but that’s as big as a full sized truck was a few years back. That means it has a crew cab so my kids can always come along for the ride, and a satisfyingly long truck bed which can carry all my tools or my kids bikes.

Speaking of my kids, safety is a top priority when I know they’re going to be in the truck so that’s why the Central Illinois used car dealer who sold it to me encouraged me to go with the added safety package so that I had extra peace of mind. Normally I’m hesitant to get any add-ons but in this case I’m glad I did. The additional safety package added supplemental front and read side curtain air bags and four-wheel anti-lock brakes.

So whether you’re hauling lumber or hauling your family, the Dakota Crew Cab is the choice for you. To learn more about this 4×4, visit your favorite new and used car dealership, Springfield Green Dodge. You can test drive any of their great trucks but I urge you to give the 2010 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab TRX4 4X4 a shot. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
