Powertrain Options and Availability
Two- and 4-wheel-drive Dakotas had a 100-horsepower, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, or a 3.9-liter V6 that made 125 horsepower. The V6 was standard in 4x4 and Sport models, optional in 2WDs, except for the price-leader Dakota S. A 5-speed manual gearbox was standard and 4-speed automatic optional. Dakota's 4WD setup is a part-time, on-demand system, not intended for use on dry pavement. It used automatic-locking front hubs and a floor-mounted transfer-case lever.
