The only Chrysler assembly plants in Toledo, Ohio (have lived in and around Toledo all but ten years of my life) are the Toledo South Assembly Plant or TSAP no longer here and the Toledo North Assembly Plant or TNAP. The only product built in those two plants during the Dodge Dakota era were Jeeps and only Jeeps! The Dodge Nitro the sister to the Jeep Liberty was built at TNAP from 2007 to 2011 when Liberty/Nitro production stopped.
So sorry John your Dakota was built in Warren, Mich. Still a great truck, I loved mine!
