Am possibly thinking of buying a used Dakota. I have never been a big Dodge fan, but I want a newer smaller Quad cab pickup, and now that means a Dakota or a Colorado, and I am not really a fan of the Chevy's either. Anyway what I am wondering is since most of them seem to have the 4.7 engine and 4 wheel drive, which I don't need, what is the consensus on the durability of that engine and drive train? Most that are for sale locally seem to have 110k to 180k miles on them. 2005 to 2009. Also, how poor is the gas mileage on them. Although I will only drive it about 7000 miles per year.
