About Dodge W100
The Dodge W100 is a one-tonne truck. The brand kept the names of the previous generation models. D means two-wheel drive, and W means four-wheel drive. These trucks had the same cab, bonnet and cargo area as the two-wheel-drive models. A new 225-inch six-cylinder motor replaced the 251-inch six-cylinder engine used in the Power Wagon.
The Dodge W100 models are available with a standard cab, extended cab and double cab. They are also available with 2.0 and 2.4 m wide platforms and standard Utiline and Sweptline bodies. Externally, the W100 was an improved version of the pick-up truck introduced in 1972. The new model featured larger, inverted taillights, twin rectangular headlights and a squared-off body line. Given how great the vehicle is, it is important to use OEM Dodge W100 parts from the online shop that are identical to the original parts and function in the same way.

The new 225 cu in engine was suitable for medium-sized trucks thanks to the following improved parts: steering chains, bimetallic rack and pinion bearings, exhaust valves, exhaust valve stems and polyacrylic valve seals. Between 1961 and 1971, the body of the Dodge W100 was called 'Sweptline', while between 1972 and 1980, it was replaced by a more modern design with radiator grilles and different colours. In 1975, the four-wheel-drive became all-wheel drive with a two-speed gearbox. Due to the energy crisis, it reverted to part-wheel drive in 1980. The big sales boost came in 1974, when the extended Club Cab version was introduced, popular for transporting families and caravans.
Equipped with an 8-pound Dana 60 axle, the Dodge W100 has been a favourite with local and regional road builders for its towing capacity, payload and snow removal capability and is unmatched in terms of practicality and functionality. The interior has also been updated with updated parts like new seats, a completely new instrument panel and optional three-way steering. Optional chassis equipment included front floor guards and a sliding window at the rear of the cab. All these Dodge W100 parts contributed to the vehicle's driving characteristics.
