The front wiper blades for most 2000 Dodge Dakota pickups are 20 inches on the driver’s side and 18 inches on the passenger side; if your Dakota has a rear window wiper, it typically uses about an 11-inch blade.
Wiper blade sizing can vary with cab configuration and trim. The Dakota was offered in Regular Cab and Club Cab forms, and some trims or aftermarket replacements may cause size variation. The following guide outlines the standard sizes and how to verify them before purchasing replacements.
Front wiper blade sizes
Before listing the standard sizes, note that the Dakota's front blades are tailored to fit the driver's sweep and the passenger's sweep. The sizes below reflect common OEM specs for the 2000 model year.
- Driver's side: 20 inches
- Passenger's side: 18 inches
These two sizes cover the typical front window area for the 2000 Dakota; using mismatched sizes can leave portions of the windshield unwiped or cause improper fit.
Rear wiper blade (if your model has one)
Not every 2000 Dodge Dakota includes a rear window wiper. If your pickup does have a rear wiper, the replacement blade is usually about 11 inches.
- Rear blade: approximately 11 inches
Always check the rear wiper length on the existing blade or consult the owner's manual or parts diagram for an exact size.
How to confirm the correct size
To ensure you buy the right blades, use these steps to verify before you purchase replacements.
- Check the owner's manual or the door jamb sticker for blade size recommendations.
- Remove the existing blades and measure the blade length along the edge of the blade from end to end.
- Bring the old blade or take photos of the stock label to the parts store and ask for a match for your cab configuration and year.
- Consider your cabin type (Regular Cab vs Club Cab) and any aftermarket fit notes from blade manufacturers.
Following these steps helps ensure the blades you buy fit properly and provide optimal visibility.
Summary
The 2000 Dodge Dakota typically uses 20" driver-side and 18" passenger-side front wiper blades, with an optional rear blade of about 11" if the rear wiper is present. Always verify the exact size using the owner's manual or by measuring or consulting a parts specialist, as cab configurations and trims can affect fit.
