Dodge Power Wagon, W-series and Ramcharger

The civilian line: the Power Wagon of 1946 — the first four-wheel-drive truck sold by a major maker, built to 1968 in America and 1978 for export — the styled W100 to W350 of 1957–93 with the Cummins diesel from 1989, and the Ramcharger of 1974–93 with its Plymouth Trail Duster twin.

Dodge put the WC’s chassis and flathead six under a civilian cab in 1946 and sold the Power Wagon to farms, oilfields, utilities and fire brigades for twenty-two years with almost no change; export production carried on to 1978. The styled W-series of 1957 ran alongside it and then replaced it, taking the Ram name in 1981.

The Ramcharger of 1974 was Dodge’s Blazer — a shortened W-series with a removable top to 1980 — and sold about 30,000 in all before ending in 1993, though Mexico built it into the 1990s. The Cummins 5.9 of 1989 was the making of the W250 and W350 and the line that followed.
