The Dakota Laramie will start at $24,984 for a 2WD Club Cab, not including the $645 destination charge of course, while a Club Cab with 4WD will start at $27,834. Add another two doors for a Dakota Laramie Quad Cab and the 2WD version will go for $26,474 while the 4WD option will start at $29,324.
To many the best part of buying a new Dakota will be the duration of the brand's powertrain warranty, which is good for seven years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first. The Dakota's bumper to bumper coverage is three years, 36,000 miles.
