Aftermarket Dodge 150 1981-1993 Bumper Kits

The Dodge 150 model sold from 1981 to 1993 was a light-duty full-size pickup truck designed and manufactured by the Chrysler Corporation. Throughout its 12-year production run, it was a popular truck amongst consumers due to its reliability and strong performance capabilities.

The first Dodge 150s were introduced in 1981, as part of Chrysler's D-series truck lineup. The base model came with a 3.7L V6 engine and a four-speed manual transmission, which could be upgraded to an optional four-speed automatic or even a five-speed manual. All variants of the Dodge 150 featured a reinforced steel ladder frame chassis, offering superior levels of strength and durability. Aside from being able to take a beating, the Dodge 150 was also great for towing and hauling, thanks to its powerful engines and rugged design.

The exterior of the Dodge 150 was more modern and subdued than some of its competitors, featuring simple rectangular headlights and a chrome grille with the iconic ‘RAM’ emblem situated in the center. All models were available with four different cab sizes; regular, extended, crew, and quad cab. This allowed customers to choose from a wide range of configurations to suit their personal needs. The Dodge 150 was also one of the earliest trucks to feature a step bumper and integrated fog lights, helping to keep drivers safe in low-visibility conditions.

One of the main benefits of the Dodge 150 was affordability; due to its relatively low cost, these trucks were accessible to a wide range of buyers. Prices started at around $9,000 in 1981 and this cost remained fairly consistent throughout the 80s and 90s. The Dodge 150 featured a number of safety features, such as antilock brakes, front airbags, and adjustable seatbelts.

In terms of performance, the Dodge 150 offered a great combination of power and efficiency. It was equipped with a variety of engine options ranging from a 3.7L V6 up to a 5.9L V8, depending on which trim level you chose. With the V8 engine, the truck was capable of producing up to 225 horsepower and 327 lb-ft of torque.

After 12 years of production, the Dodge 150 was eventually replaced by the more modern Dodge Ram 1500 in 1993. Despite its age, the Dodge 150 remains a popular choice for collectors and off-roaders alike, due to its strong performance and robust construction. Nearly 30 years after its discontinuation, the Dodge 150 is still praised for its reliability and affordability.
