STORY

The Dodge Ram 50 was Mitsubishi's Forte pickup, which reached North America in 1979 as the Dodge D-50 and was later renamed Ram 50. A second generation arrived for 1987, the same year Chrysler launched the Dakota, and the smaller Ram 50 kept selling until 1994. In that generation the 2.0-litre four made 92 hp and the 2.6 made 109 hp. Four-wheel-drive versions carried Power Ram badging, and Plymouth sold the same truck as the Arrow from 1979 to 1982.
