The Dodge W150 introduced in 1979 came as a four-wheel-drive half-ton pickup truck which provided standard, Club Cab (extended) and Crew Cab dimensions. Customers could select between three engine options when buying the Dodge W150: it offered the 225 slant-6 and 318 V8 from the start and added the 360 V8 engine in 1978. Through the years the Dodge W150 360 V8 engine received two major fuel injection updates beginning with throttle-body fuel injection during 1989 and culminating in multi-port fuel injection in 1992 which enhanced both engine output and fuel consumption. Automatic Torqueflite transmissions came as 3-speed or 4-speed models together with 4-speed and 5-speed manual transmission options. Anti-lock brake systems (ABS) operated as an optional feature on Dodge W150 editions towards the later production year range. Despite being discontinued in 1993 the OEM part market particularly suspension elements remains strong since these components serve critical roles in preserving both safety and operation quality of this model.
