Dodge D/W Series

What is the Dodge D/W Series?

The Dodge D/W Series is a full-size pickup from the maker’s long-running truck family. The D and W names distinguished versions of the range, which served drivers needing an open load bed for work and everyday hauling. The generation covered here ran in the United States from 1984 to 1993 and is identified by the AD platform code.

Generation and engines

This third generation of the D/W Series ran from 1984 through 1993. It was part of a pickup lineage Dodge later marketed under the Ram name, bringing the truck range into the broader Ram identity. The D/W’s place in the range was straightforward: a larger, more work-focused choice for carrying bulky loads and taking on truck duties.

The US versions listed use petrol engines from 3.7 to 5.9 litres. That span offered a choice of engine capacity within a full-size pickup format, though exact output varied by version.

How economical is the Dodge D/W Series?

The best combined EPA rating listed for the D/W Series is 18 MPG. Its lowest listed consumption is 13.1 L/100 km. These are US EPA figures, which use the American test procedure; the ratings are useful for understanding the range in its own market.

Where was the Dodge D/W Series sold?

Official US registration figures show the D/W Series from 1984 to 1993. It belongs to the era before Dodge’s pickup line settled fully into the Ram name and represents the truck side of the brand’s broad vehicle range.
