Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / July 2006Dodge truck name needed?
In the 80s, Dodge had a small size truck. Now, i cant remember the name except it may have been something like B-250 or D something. Just for nostalgia sakes. :) > In the 80s, Dodge had a small size truck. Now, i cant remember the name > except it may have been something like B-250 or D something. B-250 was a full sized van. You're probably thinking of the Ram 50, sometimes referred to as the "Mini-Ram". Yes. thats it. thanks > > In the 80s, Dodge had a small size truck.

The Dodge mini-truck was the Rampage, which was a front-drive built on the Omni/Horizon platform. > In the 80s, Dodge had a small size truck.

I think it came from the same roots as the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizen. My uncle had one of those D-50 with the 2.6L. It met the same fate that most of the rest of them did. The timing chain broke, causing the usual damage. It was going to cost more than it was worth to fix. -KM <kmatheson@sisna.com> wrote in message... > It seems like they also had one that was a front-wheel drive.

With the price of gas going up, it was probably worth it to fix it. Better yet, throw in a little diesel. My brother had a rare diesel 5-spd. Isuzu P'up that typically got mid-40's mpg. > It seems like they also had one that was a front-wheel drive. I think > it came from the same roots as the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizen. Yup, that was the Rampage. Kinda a bastard gimped undersized El Camino wannabe :) http://www.allpar.com/omni/rampage/index.html BTW, Dodge is apparently resurrecting the Rampage, in name and partially in concept... http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/dodge/rampage.html I owned one of the D-50s. It was a great little truck with 30+ MPG and good performance. It also hauled a high amount of weight for it's size. I sold it before the timing chain became a problem to a retired man who put another 10 years on the truck. I now have a Hemi with good performance but as expected poor MPG. My next vehicle will be a slightly smaller truck with better MPG again. > > It seems like they also had one that was a front-wheel drive.

Full size gas hog pickup that seats four? Dont need one. D |
