We purchased a dodge dakota with 4 wheel drive because our winters here in Ohio are so bad and the 4 wheel drive is much safer to drive with. It has also come in handy when moving or purchasing furniture because we can use the truck to do so. I love my 2004 Dakota because of all of these things, it does have it's problems at times but it has been pretty good most of the time.
