1990-1993 Dodge Ram Pickup: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Full-size, regular-cab Dodge pickups came in two sizes: 115-inch wheelbase with a 6.5-foot cargo bed, and 131-inch with an 8-foot bed. Club Cab models, that were added for 1990 to match Ford and GM rivals, rode a 133-inch wheelbase with the short bed, or 149-inch with the long cargo bed. Two-wheel-drive Rams got a "D" prefix, while 4WD Rams wore a "W" badge. Ram trucks came in three series, which designate payload: 150-series (1/2-ton), 250-series (3/4-ton), and 350-series (1-ton). Regular-cab 150 and 250 models could have the 115- or 131-inch wheelbase, whereas all 350 series regular-cab pickups rode a 131-inch wheelbase. Base engine was a 3.9-liter V6, but most models could get 5.2- or 5.9-liter V8s instead. An optional turbodiesel inline 6-cylinder engine and standard rear antilock brakes had arrived for 1989. Regular-cab trucks came only with a 3-place bench seat. Club Cabs had a standard split-back front bench and side-facing folding rear jump seats.
