Does anyone know the last year that they produced the 1500 with a solid front?
(Just thinking of another off-roader i'd like to get "some day") :D :D

They work great for daily drivers if you don't mind 14 mpg on the highway.

I used to get 12 too, and then I got my third speeding ticket, now I drive 70 and get 14 mpg.

Damn, my Dodge gets 12 towing my shitbox on the trailer (8000 lbs). At least it can, if I'm not running through the mountains in the 70's. Daily driving I get around 18 winter, 19 summer.

Well, my little stock Dakota on BFG MT's just got 15 mpg on the last trip i took. Ya think i got a lemon? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Actually, i've talked to a lot of other Dak. owners, and even when my truck was brand new, stock tires etc, i still got shitty mileage compared to them.
So, 14, or even 12 mpg doesn't realy sound too bad in a full-sized, solid-axled truck. :D :D :D :D

With 40" boggers and 13" of lift it's no wonder you get 10 MPG. It sounds like a pretty sweet truck I'd like to see a couple of pictures if you have any.
