I would like to know how many miles people are getting from this newer V-8 Dodge dropped the 318 in favor of? How could Dodge get any more stupid?? Anyway, I almost did not get my 2003 Dakota because of that. I have 78,000 on mine as I write this on this little truck with zero problems. I know lucky me but the little truck has been very good to me. What can I expect mileage wise? Opinions please.
