The Plymouth Trucks That Folks Don't Really Talk About
1. Initial Production
In 1936, the initial production of Plymouth's first truck started. The first Plymouth truck was a Dodge truck in disguise. In 1937, Plymouth changed just minor details in the truck, like the grille and the tailgate. The truck sat on a 116" wheelbase, and it used a Plymouth engine, which was coded PT50.
2. Plymouth PT-Series
The PT series trucks were only produced from 1937 to 1941, and not many of them were made. The PT trucks were offered in four different body styles: the pickup version, the cab-and-chassis version, the commercial delivery version, and the woody station wagon.

3. End of the PT-Series
In 1942, the PT line was dropped without an explanation. Of course, the obvious explanation would be the terrible sales numbers. From the start of this line of trucks until the end, there haven't been any tremendous changes aside from minor visual ones, as well as some mechanical, but the progress was minimal.

4. Trailduster
From 1974 to 1981, Plymouth introduced an SUV called Trailduster. The SUV was based off the Dodge Ramcharger, which was a two-door SUV, competing with vehicles like the Ford Bronco, and the Chevrolet Blazer. The Trailduster was available in both RWD or 4WD, as well as a removable top, or no top at all.

5. Arrow Pickup
The Plymouth Arrow truck was a different version of the Dodge Ram 50, which was produced by the Chrysler Corporation; however, it was imported from Japan. The Arrow was sold from 1979 to 1982, and after 1982, Mitsubishi started importing the same truck, only labeled Mighty Max, which sold from 1982 to 1996.
