About Dodge D150
The Dodge D150 was introduced as a part of the D-Series pickups in 1978 and lasted till 1993 before it was replaced in 1994. During the two-decade production, the Dodge D150 was offered in two models, of which the first was a short-axle regular cab model and the second a long-axle and long-seat cab model. For both designs, the model was equipped offered with three engine types, including a 3.9-liter V6, a 5.2-liter V8, and a 5.9-liter V8. As for their performance, the V6 engine could generate 180 horsepower, while the other two V8 engines had an output of 230 horsepower. All three types were equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, and the three-speed automatic transmission and four-speed automatic transmission was also offered as optional.
In the interior, the original bench seats were retained and upholstered in factory-style gray fabric and were accompanied by the brand's original rubber foot mats. The door panels were paired with new wood-grain panels. Also, in order to perform a better audio-visual system for the driver and passengers, an AM/FM radio, together with a CD player and stereo was equipped on the pickup. However, these interior modifications were not major compared to the sporty four-spoke test steering wheel, along with a much sportier look.

In 1978, Dodge launched the Li'l Red Express, which was the first high-performance pickup sold in the United States. The model was based on the D150 Adventure, which was equipped with a four-chamber carbureted 5.9-liter V8 generating 225 horsepower paired with a specially enhanced transmission. The location of the exhaust was designed as behind the cockpit, making the whole styling in American muscle-like features. As for other parts, The roof was equipped with the typical off-road lighting package that was common in the 1980s and was also added air horns. Also, fiberglass was applied in the design of the roof, side skirts, and front spoiler. The design of the chrome front bumper, crash beam, and the brand's badge was no doubt the iconic style of the era, though they were seemingly devoid of any design sense.
The D series is one of the most popular pickup truck models in the United States in the 1980s, and the traditional and iconic design had not changed dramatically throughout its 30 years of production.
