Depending on the cab option, the bed size of the 2010 Dodge Dakota was either 6.5 feet or 5.3 feet long. 
Produced from 1986 to around 2011, the Dodge Dakota was called the Ram Dakota in the final few years of its run. No matter the name, it was a rough and ready pickup truck for those who had some serious work (or play) to do. 
The 2010 model year had several configurations to choose from, including a massive V8 engine for a maximum of 302 horsepower and 329 lb/ft of torque. All-wheel drive was available of course, and a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,200 pounds supplied the ability to do “truck stuff” with the best of them.

The bed size of the 2010 Dodge Dakota depended on the size of the cabin. There were two sizes: the three-door Extended and the four-door Crew Cab. While the Crew Cab gave you more room inside, it came at the expense of bed space. 
Let’s take a look at the dimensions of both side by side:

The 2010 Dodge Dakota had a maximum payload capacity of 1,800 pounds, with some trim levels and configurations having less. But no matter what, you’ll be able to haul stuff with aplomb.
It was competitive among rivals at the time as well. The 2010 Chevy Colorado had a Crew cab option with a bed length of 61.1 inches and a cargo volume of 37 cubic feet. An Extended cab option was also on the table with a bed length of 72.8 inches and a cargo volume of 44 cubic feet.

2010 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab option

If you got the roomier Crew Cab, you could opt for the Crate N Go System: a collapsible set of storage bins that hid under the floor of the rear seats. This was a favorite feature among reviewers at the time and made it much easier to keep small items organized and contained.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
