The Dodge Ram 50 (called the D50 for 1979 and 1980) was a compact pickup truck produced by Mitsubishi Motors and sold by the Chrysler Corporation from 1979 to 1993. Plymouth also received a version of the truck known as the Arrow Truck, sold from 1979 to 1982.
Four wheel drive was added for 1982, creating the Power Ram 50 according to Dodge's nomenclature. A diesel engine was added in 1985.
The Ram 50 was redesigned in 1987, which was the same year Dodge introduced the Ram 50's successor, the Dodge Dakota. Despite this, sales of the Ram 50 continued for another six years.
