Plymouth was a division of Chrysler that produced many vehicles from 1928 to 2001, including pickup trucks. Although Plymouth had several different models of truck during this time, they did not produce a full-sized pickup truck until the mid-1960s.
The mid-1960s saw the introduction of the Plymouth Fury I. This vehicle was a full-size two-door sedan and coupe that featured a forward-facing third seat in the back.
In addition to this, Plymouth also offered an extended cab version of the Fury I. This version featured an extra row of seating in the back and an extended cab with a tailgate. The extended cab version also had a special front grille with a distinctive “Fury” logo, making it easily recognizable as a Plymouth vehicle.
In 1967, Plymouth introduced the Sport Fury pickup truck. This pickup was based on the same platform as the Fury I and was available with either two or four doors.
It featured a larger cab than its predecessor and had an optional rear window defogger. The Sport Fury pickup also featured an optional locking tailgate and could be ordered with either a manual or automatic transmission.
In 1972, Plymouth introduced their first compact pickup truck – the Scamp. This vehicle was based on the Valiant platform and featured an independent front suspension and single rear wheel design. It was available as either a two or four door model and had several engine options including V6s and slant sixes.
The final model of pickup truck produced by Plymouth was the Rampage in 1982–1984. This vehicle shared many components with other Chrysler vehicles such as the Dodge Rampage compact car and shared some styling cues from other Chrysler models such as its grille being similar to that of the Chrysler LeBaron coupe.
Conclusion:
In summary, Plymouth began producing full-sized pickups in 1966 with their Fury I model and continued to produce pickups up until 1984 when they released their Rampage model. Pickup trucks have been part of Plymouth’s lineup since 1966, making them an important part of their history.
