When it comes to the discussion of Dodge trucks, people generally have mixed opinions.

Out of the Big Three from Detroit, Dodge has always received the short end of the stick in the popularity department. Some of mixed approval ratings may come from the truck’s bold design, but we think that’s what makes these trucks more distinctive from the rest. Yes, the counterparts to these trucks have good looks and are great for utility, but D-series trucks are very comparable models as well.

Starting in 1961, the Dodge offered these D-series trucks with an optional crew-cab configuration. Another offering was the Hemi engine, which is known for its incredible power capabilities. These innovations preceded what the competition had, yet Dodge trucks never became the leader of the pack. There is, however, a resurgence of fans who are helping to give these trucks a major comeback. One of the things driving this movement is the popularity of diesel trucks. This scene is made up of die-hard enthusiasts who stand behind many notable diesel engines. Although the crew-cab model was nixed in 1985, the 1989 Dodge Ram lineup had an optional 5.9L 6BT Cummins engine, which was derived from commercial vehicles and is now idolized as one of the greats.
