About the Dodge Dakota
The Dakota Quad Cab of 2000 gave a midsize pickup four full doors and a real rear seat.
Before You Install
Look over the pillar and floor bolts on the side being redone.
Good to Know
Hardware is included.
Match the color to the other front belt.
Seatbelt Planet makes it to order.
It will not fit bucket seats, per Seatbelt Planet.
The four-door Dakota gave midsize truck buyers a real back seat with full-size rear doors.
A front bench in the four-door Dakota let six people ride, three in front and three in back.
This single outboard bench belt is the right order when only one front side needs replacing.
Seatbelt Planet notes the belt will not fit bucket seats.
The pair and three-belt front kits for the same truck are also listed.
Driver side webbing in a family truck often frays from daily use long before the passenger side.
Sun through the big windshield fades front webbing in trucks parked outdoors.
Matching the shade of the other front belt keeps the bench even.
The 4.7 liter V8 arrived in the Dakota for 2000, alongside the four-door body.
A fresh front belt makes a used four-door Dakota feel more cared for.
Owners who use the truck to carry kids to school appreciate belts that work every time.
Four-door Dakotas with a front bench often had a column shifter, which leaves the bench open for three across.
This single outer bench belt suits the four-door truck where only the driver or passenger side needs work.
Four-door Dakotas built for 2000 carried either the 3.9 liter V6 or the new 4.7 liter V8, and both share this cab.
If the opposite front belt is in good condition, ordering one keeps the project small.
Hold the old outer bench strap up to the replacement to compare anchor ends and length.
Four-door Dakota benches are wider in the cab than many people expect, so the outer belts take a lot of side loading over the years.
A gray strap is a close match to the factory cloth in many of these trucks.
Seatbelt Planet labels this part for crew cab trucks; confirm with us that it matches your four-door Dakota.
