Ram Dakota Parts

The Ram Dakota entered the market in 1987 as a response to U.S. consumers looking for a midsize pickup truck under the Chrysler's Ram division. The 1987 model adopted the N-body platform because it combined elements from compact truck and full-size segments. The 1997 Ram Dakota upgrade introduced the V8 Magnum engine that delivered 250 horsepower to improve performance thus attracting customers needing SUV capabilities. The Dakota pickup truck did not include either the 3.6L V6 engine or the eight-speed transmission installed in later model vehicles even though it provided different engine choice options which included a V6 engine. The Ram Dakota gives its users a maximum payload handling capacity up to 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) alongside the capability to pull 3,500 pounds (1,588 kg) as a maximum towing weight based on specific configurations. Owner of a Ram Dakota can choose between the 2WD and 4x4 drivetrains because both systems employ rack-and-pinion steering systems to help achieve better driving control. The Dakota offers its customers various standard and optional interior components including heated seat features. Vehicle owners of Ram Dakota model must understand that using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts provides maximum performance and a durable lifespan and includes manufacturer-approved warranties which verify strict quality compliance.
