1978 Dodge Power Wagon W150 review from North America
"One of the best pickups I have ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I drove my 78 for 13 years and put nothing other than lube's. It was the one you see in the brochure, burgundy with black side and white spoke wheels. It had air tilt wheel and black bucket seats. I had lots of power and was not bad on gas 15-18. I liked the full time transfer case because if you get into a slick spot for example, you will not have your pickup trying to swap ends with you.
I have a 2002 2500 Ram diesel quad 4x4 5 speed now, but really miss my 78.
General comments?
See above.
