The 2009 Dodge Dakota is a mid-size pickup truck that was produced by the Chrysler Group from 2005 to 2011. As the last generation of the Dakota, the 2009 model year offered a mix of traditional truck ruggedness with some modern styling cues. It was available in both extended (Club Cab) and crew cab configurations, boasting a spacious and comfortable cabin for both passengers and cargo. The Dakota was known for its fuel efficiency and its ability to handle light-duty towing and hauling tasks. It was powered by a choice of two engines: a 3.7-liter V6 producing 210 horsepower or a 4.7-liter V8 generating 230 horsepower. Both engines came mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The Dakota's standard features included power steering, air conditioning, a CD player, and a rearview camera.

The 2009 Dodge Dakota offered a range of trim levels, with the base ST model providing the basics while the SLT and Laramie trims offered more luxury features such as leather seats, heated seats, and a premium sound system. The Dakota's styling remained largely unchanged from the previous generation, featuring a bold and rugged design with a prominent grille and large headlights. The truck's interior featured a no-frills design, but it offered adequate space and comfort for occupants. The Dakota's suspension provided a smooth ride, and its handling was responsive and predictable. The truck's towing capacity varied depending on the engine and configuration, with the V8-powered models capable of towing up to 7,000 pounds. Despite its popularity and versatility, the Dakota was eventually discontinued in favor of the Ram 1500, which offered a more modern and sophisticated platform. The 2009 Dodge Dakota remains a reliable and capable truck for those seeking a workhorse with a classic design.
