Production of the Dakota was moved to the old Stickney Ave Plant in Toledo. I happened right after Dodge Truck Engineering was moved from Highland Park, Michigan to AMC headquarters on Plymouth Road. The new organization was called Jeep/Truck Engineering. The first model Dakota released by this group had a 5.2L with high flow exhaust an advanced cam angle gear set. It was hit of a national review which highlighted the Dakota smoldering the rear tires while doing doughnuts. The year was 1992.

I had a 1992 reg cab 2wd 5.2 that would out run about any Mustang and Camaro except a Z28. If your saying you got your hands on a test truck that does not count as a production truck. I have a buddy that has a factory Cummins F-350 badged and titled as a F-650 but it sure as hell is not a production truck!

So do tell what do you have.

Right about that era the company Damn-Lire was using under contract to destroy vehicles were in fact selling some of them. Don't know how they got the vehicles titled but if you have one of them I wouldn't want to talk about it either. Kind of like my buddies F-350/650 Cummins.

Vehicles built at the Stickney Plant R&D Center were not production vehicles but if you got your hands one of those then I guess it would be Toledo built truck. Is this what you have?

You really don't know what your talking about. "Stickney Road Development Center" The Dakota's ran right down the line righ between Wrangler's. Stickney Road is a manufacturing plant.
