The Dodge W150 was a variant of the 3rd Gen Dodge D Series that debuted for the 1978 model year. The W150 was a light-duty, half-ton pickup truck offered in short or long bed configurations, with sleek Sweptline or fendered Utiline bedsides. These trucks were powered by a range of engines over the course of production, with a 225ci I6 or a selection of V8s ranging from 318ci to 440ci. These engines were paired to both manual or automatic transmissions, with drive being sent to all four wheels. Production of the Dodge W150 ended in 1980, when Dodge trucks were renamed as the Dodge Ram.
