The Dakota, however, was a purpose-built compact truck, designed for improved fuel efficiency and maneuverability without sacrificing ruggedness. It featured a unibody construction, a departure from the traditional body-on-frame design of its full-size counterparts, contributing to a lighter weight and improved handling. The 1989 model year saw the introduction of the powerful 5.2-liter V8 engine, offering a significant power upgrade over the base 3.9-liter V6.
