No, Dodge (now Ram) discontinued the Dakota pickup after the 2011 model year. While there were rumors of a revival under the Ram brand, no new Dakota has been released. Ram now focuses on its larger 1500 and heavy-duty trucks, leaving the midsize pickup segment to competitors like the Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado.

he Dodge Dakota’s weight varies between 4,200 pounds and 52,000 pounds depending on the model year and configuration.

To check the transmission fluid on a Dodge Dakota, follow these steps:
– Start the truck, warm it up, and shift through all gears.
– Locate the transmission dipstick, usually near the back of the engine.
– Check the fluid level by wiping it clean, reinserting it fully, and removing it.
– The fluid should be between the minimum and maximum marks.
– Inspect the fluid condition, which should be red and clean. If it’s dark, burnt-smelling, or dirty, change it.

– Check the fluid level on the dipstick and inspect the lines for signs of damage or wear.
