Research notes

Caveats and conflicts (2)
  • Article covers the 2005 launch only. Wikipedia Dakota article says V8 manual option was deleted for 2007; 2008 manual availability not confirmed. NSG370 is not listed for Dakota.
  • Third-party repost of an OEM release. Wikipedia Getrag list also shows '238 - 6-speed: Dodge Ram, Dodge Dakota'. Release covers the 2005 launch; later Dakota years (to 2011) not individually checked.
