This generation, known as the third generation Dakota, featured a rugged and capable exterior with a distinctive front grille, large headlights, and a spacious cargo bed. The interior offered a comfortable and well-appointed cabin with available amenities such as air conditioning, power windows, and a CD player. The 2000 Dakota was available in a range of trim levels, including the base ST, the mid-level SLT, and the top-of-the-line Sport.
