Please check notes in each part listing to ensure the Tailgate is correct for your 1996 DODGE DAKOTA with a 5.2L 318 CNG engine. SHERMAN & VARIOUS MFR are competing brands, and each brand's Tailgate may be interchangeable. Special restrictions like "California only" or "with sport package" may indicate a Tailgate fits only certain 1996 DODGE DAKOTA models.

Clicking a "More Info" link will display a picture and/or other details about that Tailgate in a separate window (you may need to turn off your pop-up-blocking software for this to work).

After choosing a Tailgate, click the "Add Part" button. Shipping costs will be shown on the Shopping Cart page. You may use your browser's Back button, or click on "Find More Parts", to find more Body-Exterior parts, other DODGE DAKOTA parts, or parts for a different vehicle. Please try our Interactive Catalog (click red Start button above) for faster searching. Both catalogs use the same shopping cart, so any auto parts you've already chosen for your 1996 DODGE will not be lost if you switch.
