Dodge Dakota vs. Mazda B4000 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Dodge Dakota to the dealership as the Mazda B4000. There isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Mazda is a bit more economical than the Dodge Dakota. The Dodge Dakota won't tax your gasoline budget significantly more than the Mazda B4000 will. The Dodge Dakota is significantly costlier than the Mazda when it comes to MSRP.

Utility
Neither the Dodge Dakota nor the B4000 has a marked advantage when it comes to seating capacity. The Dodge Dakota is likely a better choice than the Mazda when it comes to hauling capacity, especially if you often need to carry a lot of gear or large animals.

The Mazda B4000's fuel tank will need to be replenished somewhat more often than the unit in the Dodge Dakota.
