dakotas are so much better, they offer way more engine packages and can fit more aftermarket mods than a ranger. as someone who has owned both i gotta stick with the dakota.
if your gonna talk v8s. 4.2v8 4.7v8 5.2v8 and id also like to mention that just cause a car has more "liter" than another has nothing to do with torque or hp. i bet you didnt know this the 3.7 engine smallest of the truck engines. with the same mods as a 4.7v8 will beat the v8... learn your shit
@soloyo3equis Acually no it doesnt. the dodge dakota in the video probably only had a V6 engine which is a 3.7 liter. the ranger has a 4.0 liter. no if i am mistaking and the dakota has the V8 magnum then Yes, the dakota has a whole 0.7 liter more
The 3.0 produces 11 more horsepower than the 2.3 l4 which produces around 140-180 hp. Get a ranger 4.0 with 250lb torque, then we will see what happens
Whoever is saying that Ranger are shitty, you obviously dont know what you are talking about... the only thing these tug of wars prove is which vehicle is heavier or has better tires... I could beat a a 1 ton truck with my ranger if i had good enough tires with weight in the back... fucking morons
It weight like 600 lb more than the ranger. Dakota's are better than rangers, but pulls are not a good comparison to see wich truck is better it's just a matter of traction pounds per square inch on the ground. If the dakota had big off road tires it would have lost, but no doubt would be better off road. Monster trucks, Baja rigs, Dragsters, and race cars are all totaly different things. What may work great in one condition doesnt work in another. Its Just a matter of the intended use.
lol comparing a single cab 3.0 liter to a extra cab 3.9 dakota...pretty stupid...put a ranger with ether 4.0 shoc or ohc... it will burn the dakota to the ground
@Dereks06 Try to find a v6 truck that has that much power. You can't unless you want to buy a brand new one and even then the power ratings will only be close to that of what you say it should be.
@RiLow517 rofl... toyota v6 as 240 hp and 260 ft.... that will blow that little dakota to piece, even the new 4.0 v6 from ford as more hp and the dak.....
@CedrikTheManiac00 yeah the 4.0 from toyota has more power but it is also 13 years newer than the 3.9 and you're gonna have to pay a lot more to get one too. And the 4.0 from ford that you are talking about is new. The 4.0 from ford at the that time had less power.
@CedrikTheManiac00 No it was not. The power ratings for the 4.0 around the time of the late 90s was about 160 hp and 225 torque; the 3.9 in the late 90s had a rating of about 175 hp and 225 torque. It was not stronger. They were just about even with dko just ahead.
my dakota is a 97 sport 2wd 3.9l and it only has 92k miles on it and all original parts except for tires and the battery. it's an auto and if you want to call me a pussy say it to my face instead of cowering behind your computer screen.
you say rangers suck but they got compact truck of the year and so did the f150 got truck of year fords won more than 9 years and a row and gm fails i dont have a problem with dodges though cause they make bad ass trucks
@2001jeepXJ Only thing to ever come from dodge was the cummins.... even tho cummins came to them with the motor so it actually isnt even there product... dodge sucks and is a Chrysler product which makes it even worse
Ford Ragner 3.0L V6 = 150ish hp 180ish ft-lbs torque
Dodge Dakota 3.9L V6 = 175ish hp 230ft-lbs torque
I own a 2.5L I4 Ford Ranger 117hp and 150ft-lbs torque. I don't really see much reason for the 3.0L myself. I've been told by a buddy of mine that when he went from a 4.0L to a 3.0 he lost both MPG and HP. My grandfather's 3.0L ran about the same as my 2.5L but his got around the 15mpg mark on the highway at 60mph.
or maybe you can kiss my fucking ass. Go talk to some one else who gives a shit about what a kid like you has to say. You don't know jack shit about me and yet you're talking trash over the net? You're the one who needs to man the fuck up.
As side from that, nothing you said in any of your incoherent rambling had anything to do with what I said. I award you NO points.
You didn't hear shit because you were reading it you dip shit. Besides the rangers were/are still pieces of shit. Mazda does a few things to make them better but that's all.
@Magnuspire that 3.9l is pretty weak compared to the 4.0 SOHC which is pretty much the same size engine. 4.0SOHC gets 210ish hp and 240ish ft-lbs, which is still pretty poor for a 4.0. As a truck engine it should be getting 280ft-lbs and 240hp.
you know as well as I do, when it comes to truck engines HP isn't everything. Durability is everything, it could have 500hp but it wouldn't be worth a shit if the motor couldn't stand up to the stress of towing.
@CedrikTheManiac00 Yea it's close to 180hp if you round up the power at the rear wheels on the 2wd 4.10 ratio ranger. But at the crank its 207hp or 210 in explorer config.
dakotas are so much better, they offer way more engine packages and can fit more aftermarket mods than a ranger. as someone who has owned both i gotta stick with the dakota.

@wenis1990 and the dodge is 300 pounds heavier that means ford wins. my dad has a 2010 ranger with dual exhaust. that thing is a beast.

@zacheryds Heavier because its built a bit heavier duty, also more weight gave it the advantage in this pulling match.

So, the Dakota is Dodges idea of a "compact" truck? Missed the mark BIG time with that one.
xsonz2 2 years ago
The original Dakota was a compact truck. The newer ones are "mid-sized" trucks.
Chrysler decided there wasn't a large enough market for small trucks which is why Dodge and Jeep don't make a compact truck.
