I'm looking for advice or cautionary tales of what to look for and scrutinize on a 200K+ Dakota.
after my nice, shiny, clean, straight 04 Dakota was totaled on the HI way... I'm feeling truck less and want to pick up something cheaper to keep me moving and hauling.
I've looked around and find a couple 1st gen and more 2nd gen Dakotas that kinda fit my expectation.
The rust around here will be unavoidable. I have already walked away from a couple of possibilities due to Extreme rot in the frame rails.
Currently I have my thoughts on a well maintained 220k 2000 v8 with a decent tow pkg.
Anything I should watch out for that I might not be thinking about?
