Driven by a variety of factors, both Ford and Chevrolet introduced Japanese-built captive import small pickups in 1972. Ford had the Mazda-built Courier, while Chevy rolled out the Isuzu-sourced LUV (short for Light Utility Vehicle). Both trucks (and later the Mitsubishi-based Dodge D-50) found a comfortable niche with American buyers up through the mid-1980's. Given their low prices...

Catch up on Toyota Tacoma history with plenty of photos from 20 years of Tacomas, plus earlier Toyota truck photos too.

This captive-import is a 1987 Dodge Ram 50 pickup and it looks like a good little work truck, if a person doesn't need a huge, beefy truck, that is. It's listed on eBay with an unmet opening bid of $750. It's located in Centerville, Utah, just north of Salt Lake City. This is a one-owner...

There seems to be an ebb and flow of the small truck. Largely introduced in the energy-crisis era, thriving for a decade-plus, then fading into obscurity, before recently being revived, as manufacturers are re-introducing past models. There is no current "small" truck from Dodge, but this 1986 Dodge Power Ram 50 can be found here...
