Saw one of these recently  for the first time in quite a while.  They’re not as bad looking as I remember.

I have a soft spot for these badge egineered small trucks. Feels like we had a small stretch where each pickup wore at least two badges and now we're back to every man for themselves out there in small truck land. Also, Suzuki equator is best Nissan frontier. Don’t @ me, you all know I’m right.

I dont know how but when i see these they are always in better shape than their dodge counter parts.

The Dakotas are beat to crap with paint fade and rust. Maybe its because there are so few of them?

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > themanwithsauce - has as many vehicles as job titles 02/20/2020 at 10:56

I was about to correct you about the Suzuki and say it was a Colorado, but that was the Isuzu.

I respectfully disagree, these are hideous.  So is this generation of Dakota.

I never said they were good looking...

I’d rather have a 2nd gen Dakota if I had to have a Dakota.

I actually like the way the Raider looks, even if I would never buy one. However, I also distinctly remember seeing several drive past overloaded to the point of bananaing the chassis, so I don’t exactly trust their durability.

You need to go rarer. No, even rarer than what you just though. You need a Suzuki Equator to spice up your day.

Yup. For a while, the Isuzu was a great way to get a colorado at a steep discount, but now they’ve been chewed up and spat out by contractors and repair shops.

Ah yes, the "Colorado with braces" look.
