Dodge Dakota Gas Mileage

The popular Dodge Dakota pickup was introduced in 1987 and redesigned in 1997 and 2005. The Dakota produces average gas mileage figures for a mid-sized pickup, with highway mileage ratings reaching 20 miles per gallon (MPG) with the standard V-6 engine. Gas mileage ratings for the V-8 Dakota running E85 are underwhelming. The distinctively styled Dakota fills a niche by being larger than the Ford Ranger, but smaller than the F-150.

A 3.7 liter V-6 producing 210 horsepower (HP) is the standard engine in all 2008 Dakota models, with the exception of the top of the line Laramie. The 2008 Dakota Laramie is equipped with a 4.7 liter V-8 engine that produces 302 HP. The 4.7 liter V-8 is available as an option in the SLT, TRX, and Sport models. While a diesel engine is not currently available in the 2008 Dakota, rumor has it that the new 4.2 liter V6 Cummins turbo-diesel will soon be found under the Dakota’s hood.

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.
