2010 Dodge Dakota

 Presenting the All New

2010 Dodge Dakota



Styling

Form, function and fun. Three small words with a huge impact. Dakota combines rugged style with well-rounded capability to bring you the ultimate midsize pickup.

Dakota's style starts with:

  • Chiseled hood
  • Signature crosshair grille
  • Tough, rectangular headlamps
  • Front fascia with standard fog lamps
  • Sleek fenders
  • Available rear spoiler with catwalk protection.

But it's more than just style. Behind Dakota's looks, lie a ready-for-anything attitude and the stamina to help you get things done. So hook up your big toys, load your gear in and get going.

Seating

With a versatile selection of fabrics and colors, available heated front buckets and available rear bench seats, your passengers are sure to love Dakota as much as you do. Good thing, because Crew Cab comfortably seats up to six passengers. Hauling cargo too? The 60 / 40 rear bench seats fold up and out of the way with ease.

Storage

Dakota isn't intimidated by lots of gear; it welcomes whatever you've got. The clever Crate 'n Go® rear-seat collapsible and removable storage system allows you to easily grab your stored items and get them to your destination without breaking a sweat.

Other helpful storage areas include:

  • Convenient center console
  • Roomy bin above-the-glove box
  • Rear-seat grocery bag hooks.

 

Wheels

Picture yourself rolling on any one of Dakota's stylish wheel options, from the 16-inch options all the way up to the impressive 18-inch lineup. Every wheel is designed to complement Dakota's tough yet refined exterior, as well as provide a smooth, well-balanced ride.




Beds & Cabs

Don't leave anyone or anything behind. Dakota gives you two flexible cab options with ample interior possibilities.

Extended Cab offers:

  • A long standard cargo bed at six-feet, six-inches
  • Best-in-class Extended Cab interior room at 30 cubic feet of interior space

Crew Cab offers:

  • Five-foot, four-inch cargo bed
  • 37.1 cubic feet of overall interior space

Both cabs feature available utility rails that make cargo box tie-downs infinitely adjustable. So load up to six people or whatever cargo you may be bringing along. There's plenty of room.

Uconnect? System

The Uconnect? System is Dodge's user-friendly approach to today's connected technology. From music to travel destinations, Uconnect connects you to the things that matter most. Leave it to Uconnect to make technology simple.

Multimedia

Have the right soundtrack to complement anything. Start with the AM/FM stereo with single or six-disc changer, and instantly have access to your iPod® or other MP3 device with the accompanying MP3 auxiliary jack. Just plug in and your entire personal library is yours for the taking.

And SIRIUS Satellite Radio serves up over 130 channels including 69 channels of 100% commercial-free music, plus sports, news, talk and entertainment available nationwide in your vehicle - with your first year of service provided by SIRIUS.
