Expert Answers about Dodge Dakota


  • What is the Filter Thread Size on a 2006 Dodge Dakota 4.7 Liter V-8 for an Engine Oil Cooler

  • Can Factory Bumper Brackets Be Use To Install Westin Diamondstep Bumper On 1995 Dodge Dakota
  • In order to install the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper part # 63000 on a 1995 Dodge Dakota you will also need the Custom Installation Kit for Westin Diamondstep Bumpers part # 97800 or you can just use the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper with Custom Installation Kit part # 63000-97800. The bumper mounting brackets are specific to both the frame and bumper which is why you cannot reuse the factory bumper mounting brackets unfortunately.

  • What is the Towing Capacity of a 2000 Dodge Dakota
  • I have a coworker who drives a 2001 Dakota which is the same generation as your 2000. So I checked his owners manual, see pictures. It appears that the bigger V8 for this truck, the 5.9, does not have enough capacity to tow an 8,000 pound trailer. The highest of any model is 6,450 pounds. Capacity takes into account not only the motor but also the transmission, the rear end gear ratio, wheels, tires, suspension and so on. Basically you would have to replace every major component of the...

  • Effects of Using Hitch Adapters on Hitch Towing Capacity
  • It is not recommended to use multiple hitch adapters or extensions when towing. Most adapters will cause a loss of hitch capacity since they move the actual load further away from the hitch, which increases leverage on the hitch tube. This applies to both a straight 2-inch extension like the 18-inch Curt # C45796 and to dual-receiver adapters like # MPG544, both of which cost you half the hitch's rated capacity. Multiple adapters also tend to introduce more rattle and noise. The better...

  • How to Determine Towing Capacity for a Hitch on a 2005 Dodge Dakota 2WD Quad Cab
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch, item # 13229, is designed and tested for fit and capacity, likewise the Dodge Dakota and Mitsubishi Raider have their own towing capacity ratings for the vehicle and bumper.

You always have to go by the lowest rated item in the towing system for maximum capacity. If you need more capacity than the bumper...

  • What is the Towing Weight Capacity of a 2004 Dodge Dakota
  • The towing capacity of your 2004 Dodge Dakota is 3,400 to 4,650 lbs. If you were to install the Curt Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13145 which has a Gross Trailer Weight of 5,000 lbs and a Tongue Weight of 500 lbs your Dakota would be the limiting factor and you would still only be able to haul up to 4,650 lbs. Please keep in mind that the Tongue Weight of your trailer should be between 10-15 percent of the GTW of your trailer.

  • Max Speed Rating for the CE Smith Boat Trailer CE48810
  • Since you are looking for a way to transport a kayak a much better solution for you would be a Yakima Rack and Roll trailer like part # Y08106 as this is rated for highway speeds.
