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 (automobile) also received a version of the truck known as the Arrow Truck, sold from 1979 to 1982. Mitsubishi itself imported it as the Mitsubishi Mighty Max when it began selling directly in the U.S. from 1982, at which point the Plymouth ceased to be available.

Four wheel drive was added for 1982, creating the Power Ram 50 according to Dodge's nomenclature (the Power Ram name was used for four wheel drive models). A turbodiesel engine was available in US models between 1983 and 1986.

The Ram 50 was redesigned in 1987, which was the same year Chrysler introduced the Ram 50's successor, the Dodge Dakota. Despite this, sales of the Ram 50 continued for another seven years, possibly because the Ram 50 was a compact and the Dakota was a mid-size. The difference in size and cost left a niche for the Dodge 50, and its cancellation may have been due more to a desire to show independence from Mitsubishi than because of any product overlap.

Engines:

• 1979-1989 2.6 L Mitsubishi Astron engine#4G54 Straight-4, SOHC, 105 hp (78 kW)
• 1983-1986 2.3 L 4D55T turbodiesel Straight-4, 84 hp (63 kW)
• 1990-1993 2.4 L Mitsubishi Sirius engine#4G64 Straight-4, 116 hp (87 kW)
• 1990-1993 3.0 L Mitsubishi 6G7x engine#6G72 V6, 142 hp (106 kW)

Alternative fuels:The Ram 50 will take alternative fuels such as E85, although please note some modification may be required in models earlier than 1984.
