dakota for years with a v8, manual transmission, no power locks, no power windows. I loved it. I'd take that sucker back anyday. I sold it because it was rusting a bit underneath. Also the 4x4 control board went out in 2019. The only place I could find those at that point was in junk yards or ebay. Replacing old ass parts with another old ass part was not a great plan. so I gave it up with 220k. Sad day. I'd take it back in a second.
