1991 3.9 5 speed with 50,000 original miles. First time ever driving a manual and I had to get her over 30 miles home so I probably beat the clutch up pretty bad unfortunately but everyone has to start somewhere. Owned by a man who drive it minimally for a weekend gardening business until he died.

Damn that interior is nice

Yes! Only the smallest hairline dash crack by the Vin Number plate but otherwise it's all crack free.

Dang! Is that odometer for real for real?

It is! Carfax was legit. It definitely feels like a 50,000 mile truck

That is incredible. Enjoy my newest vehicle ever was 90k miles I've owned quite a few. I prefer cash cars.

Same here. I have a paid off daily that gets over 40 MPG so I've been saving to have a weekend truck. Got her for $3,500 with all new belts and new water pump plus a brand new radiator.

Thanks man! I will say the bench seat is seriously comfy. Couch like seating should be brought back in trucks.

Congrats on the Dakota! I love those red interiors. Manual V6 is a strong combo. Welcome to the club!

I've got a 95 extra cab with 365000 miles on it. Needs a new head gasket and another transmission rebuild. I love that truck and miss it so much. Still own it, just don't know if i'm ever going to get around to fixing it.
