What’s the Dodge Dakota's top speed?

I’ve got an old Dodge Dakota with a V8, and I was just curious how fast it can go. What’s the Dodge Dakota's top speed?

A
Dodge Dakota’s
 top speed is 117 mph.
The Dakota’s V8 was more about towing and hauling capability than speed, so we wouldn’t head to any race tracks if we were you! 
Here are some more specs on your Dakota:
  • 302 horsepower at 5,650 rpm
  • 329 lb-ft of torque at 3,950 rpm
  • 7,100-lb max towing capacity

Can you flat tow a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer?
I’m in the market for a new SUV. After test-driving a few options, a used 2021 Chevy Trailblazer seems like a great fit. However, I want to tow it behind my RV without buying a ton of extra equipment. Will I be able to flat tow a 2021 Trailblazer?

How do I remove tint glue from my rear car window?
I just bought a used car. Everything is in great shape with the notable exception of the window tint. It looks horrible, so I decided to remove it. Now I’m left with tint glue that I can’t remove. How do you get rid of tint glue on the rear car window?
