Dodge Dakota Insurance

The Dodge Dakota is a mid-size pickup with a starting price of just $23,300. Although the sales of the Dodge Dakota dropped sharply in 2009, it is still a good choice because of its roominess, and towing capability. It strikes a good balance between the compact pickup and the full-size ones.

Dodge Dakota safety features & insurance

The Dakota crash-test scores seem to be mixed. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests give it a perfect five-star rating in direct frontal and side impact crashes. The Institute of Highway Safety doesn't seem to agree, rating it as "acceptable" for frontal offset impacts, but only "marginal" for side impact crashes.

According to the NHTSA, the Dakota's rollover potential is about the same as other pickups, even though it doesn't have the electronic stability control feature. The ratings for rear crash protection on the Dakota were "acceptable" and "poor," depending on whether or not they had the front-seat lumbar adjustment. With Cars.com reporting that the Dodge is behind in offering advanced safety features for this truck, and its crash ratings being questionable, it is recommended that you purchase full coverage insurance for your Dodge Dakota.

Dodge Dakota theft and insurance

Dodge has not taken the precaution of including theft prevention devices on the Dakota. Most of the threat prevention devices are listed as not available, unlisted or optional. If you add this feature the Dakota will cost you more. Although this mid-size pickup has not been listed in the 10 top stolen vehicles, it is still a candidate for theft, and therefore it is a higher risk for insurance companies.
