Questions & Answers

What people are asking about this car
2009 Dakota tires...why does the owners manual say not to use chains on 265 size tires?
New truck came equipped with 265 tires and nobody (including the dealer) can explain why the manual says not to use chains. We live in the mountains where chains are sometimes mandatory.
Source: Yahoo! Answers, 3 answers

because they will hit the outer body or the inner fender wells and cause damage to the body or the joints,if you use chains on any car ,take precautions and only travel at low speeds if you have to use them,good luck. Reference:been a certified mechanic for 38 yrs now.

i wanna lease a 2009 bmw 328i sedan but i wanted to know how much is it monthly for it? i want it to have the chestnut brown dakota leather,aluminium trim,navigation system,and premium package. is the 328i a good car to lease? and what are the hidden fees on it?
Source: Yahoo! Answers, 2 answers

I just bought a 2009 328i with more stuff than that in it. I put down a decent sized down-payment on it, but will be now paying less than $500/mo. Fiddle around with the BMW website though, you can build your car and estimate finance/lease payments. Your car will have to be in near pristine shape...

Why should I also consider these? X

The H3T stands out in this category for its styling and the HUMMER brand’s cachet with a certain crowd, but plenty of people are likely to be scared away from that brand’s eco-unfriendly image; the H3T is considerably more expensive, too.

The two vehicles in this class with the freshest look are the H3T and the Ridgeline, which received a modest refresh for 2009.

The Colorado is on paper a competitor, but in the real world its powertrains are uncivilized and it feels in a class below the others.

The V-8 in the 2008 Dodge Dakota gives it a distinct advantage in power over the five-cylinder Chevy and GMC mid-size twins, as well as the six-cylinder Tacoma, Frontier, and Ridgeline.

However, the imports offer quality and dynamic performance advantages over the Dodge.
