1967 Dodge Power Wagon W200 from Italy - Comments

Not much wrong with it. The usual repairs for an old dog.

Dodge boys got it right when they built this baby. I have had it 23 years now and it still purrs like new. Walks away with anything I hitch it to. This truck has pulled Stumps, Trailers, Stuck Dozers, a House, even a large barn we moved to make way for a new road. It Climbs trees, over rocks as big as a freezer, fords rivers up to the door handles, and has pushed a snow plow with snow up to the headlights like it was cruising down sleepy hollow road in summer. It has been around the World with me where ever I get stationed. Right now it is in the garage below my Villa here in Sicily half way up Mt Etna. The beaches of Guam were no challenge for its 12ft wheel base either. One day they may bury me in it, but with Gods help that may not be for some time.

What amazes me is that Dodge can/did build trucks like these - as reliable and tough as anything ever built - but the rest of their products fall apart like cotton candy. What happened?

An ex-Omni owner.

I also have a 1978 Dodge W200 power wagon. It will go anywhere I want to put it. And of course it will because it is not a chevy or a ford. I think dodge builds the toughest trucks in the world.

1974 Dodge Charger owner Too!

This is in keeping with my experience with a 1966 D300 2x tough as nails I have used it to pull things that my buddies were afraid to pull with their new Ford and Chevy 4x4's this truck will be getting a new engine soon and a new life as a work truck.

It is and always was a tough old truck.

I have a 1966 d300. I compete in rock crawling. Every competition I take it in, I win. No one can beat my truck. Dodge trucks are the best.

I never used to care at all about trucks, although I liked Mopar cars. Then I saw a guy at the local party pit bring his '66 Dodge pickup, mounted on 2 1/2 ton military axles. He had formerly had a 440 in it, but had recently replaced it with a 318 after the 440 seized. Even with the 318, that truck was jaw-dropping! He pointed it straight through a swamp with four feet of muck, knocking down and running over trees. Then he nearly knocked over a cast iron cornpicker and climbed up the wall of a gravel pit with trees hanging off the undercarriage. Needless to say, that sight made me extend my love of Dodge's to include their trucks and at the first opportunity I bought an '85 Ramcharger.

I own a '67 w200 with a 318. And trust me, these trucks ARE tough; they put the name "Power Wagon" to good use. A couple of years ago we were wood cutting and we had an old Chevy and my truck, and we were pulling a bunch of logs up a hill; well I was, anyway. The Chevy tried pulling them up, but that did't work. Both of the trucks had 4 wheel drive and the Chevy was using it but couldn't pull the logs. I had mine in 2 wheel drive, and my truck pretty much walked up the hill with no problem at all. I bought the truck (after my Grandpa died) from the people he sold it to in '94, and I plan to keep it until I die.

I have a 68 power wagon with a cute little 318 in it but it is about the best truck I have seen let alone own. The 318 has over 331,000 miles on it and is in it's third truck but still won't die! I chained up to a 74 high boy with a built up 390 and needless to say, he went in reverse with all four spinning! Dodge Power Wagons are were it's at!

I have a 1978 and 1974 dodge power wagon and they are the best trucks I have ever owned they just won't die they never get stuck. They can pull anything I hook up to them. I also have a 1990 ram charger another great truck. The Dodge Brothers had the right idea. Dodge trucks are the toughest trucks built and I would put my life on it.
