Dodge W200 4x4 (like Power Wagon) on 2040-cars
Pilot Hill, California, United States
|
This is your atypical awesome farm truck. It's a 1973 W200 with four wheel drive, a 318, and a granny gear 4-speed (manual transmission). It has Dana 44 and 60 axles (eight lug), both of which lock for positraction; they are also geared appropriately for the tire height. The engine runs great, but is indeed old; it burns a bit of oil, and it leaks, but it is totally dependable. It does not smoke, but the valvetrain can clatter a bit when it's hot. All driveline components work excellently; I use the four wheel drive at least once a month, and have installed new Warn premium hubs. The transfer case, transmission, clutch, and axles are in great shape, from the center sections to the brakes to the drive shafts. The following parts have been replaced in the last 2.5 years or so: steering box, carburetor, intake manifold, muffler, front hubs, rear drive shaft, u-joints, brakes, alternator, stereo. There's probably something else... The tires/wheels: 37x13-inch Toyo Open Country (50-65% left) on 17 inch aluminum rims. Suspension: 5.5 inch blocks in rear/6-inch springs in front. Shocks are so old (but work) that I can't tell what they are anymore. I've only had the truck about two years... This truck rides very smoothly and quietly, and is very comfortable on the freeway. Everything works, from the lights to the heater; it has power steering and brakes, and turns and stops with minimal effort. It'll get you about 10-12 miles per gallon... The floor pans in the cab have some rust, but if you want this truck, you should be handy. The glass is all good, and the bed is solid. I have mainly used this truck for things like firewood, gravel hauling, and trips to Home Depot, along with four-wheeling around my property, with the occasional 100-mile round trip. It rides like an old pickup, and can easily haul a ton in the bed. I've just gotten a new pickup to consolidate vehicles a bit, so this one has to go. The truck makes fans everywhere it goes. Feel free to ask questions. |

Jay Leno gets his denim mitts on Dodge's new Challenger Hellcat
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is definitely the performance car of the moment. The fact that in the near future, people will be able to buy a 707-horsepower muscle machine straight from a major automaker for $59,995 and with a factory warranty almost seems absurd. We drove it recently and found the Hellcat to be just as much of a beast as its numbers would suggest. Now, it's a certain comedian's turn behind the wheel in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
This week's guest is Dodge President and CEO Tim Kuniskis, and he's there to drop all sorts of interesting factoids about the Hellcat. For example, its Pirelli P Zero tires retail at around $300 each, he says. That makes its smoky burnouts a rather expensive proposition. Kuniskis, who recently hinted at a mystery Woodward Dream Cruise debut, also talks about the genesis of the 2015 SRT project with a goal to get over some of the standard Challenger's weight and size disadvantages. The fix is a supercharged V8, massive brakes and other goodies to smooth over the platform's more glaring shortcomings.
Leno appears to get a big kick out of the Hellcat. However, he can't seem to stop bringing up his desire to drive one with a six-speed manual. They obviously exist, but Kuniskis has an eight-speed automatic for the retired Tonight Show host to try out. Of course, as with any Hellcat video, there has to be at least one burnout. Despite the expensive tires, it seems like enthusiast's law at this point - and dear ol' Jay wouldn't want to break any rules, would he?
Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of
Thu, 25 Apr 2013In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."
2014 Dodge Durango
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.
