1992 Dodge D250 Pickup 2WD: the full review

The D250 Pickup 2WD combines a 5.9 L eight-cylinder engine with rear-wheel drive and a five-speed manual. Its 11 MPG combined rating and $6,100 annual fuel cost are major factors for buyers considering fuel use.

Overview

The 1992 Dodge D250 Pickup 2WD is a rear-wheel-drive, gasoline-powered pickup in the EPA’s Standard Pickup Trucks class. Its 5.9-liter, eight-cylinder engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Official fuel economy is 10 mpg in city driving, 13 mpg on the highway and 11 mpg combined.

Those figures make fuel consumption a central consideration for anyone comparing this truck’s running costs. The EPA lists annual fuel costs of $6,100 and tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions of 807.91 grams per mile. The annual cost figure is an EPA estimate, not a purchase price.

Key features

Powertrain and drive

The listed configuration combines a 5.9 L V8 with a five-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The model is identified as a 2WD pickup; the facts provide no additional equipment or capability specifications.

Official economy and emissions

Measure	Official figure
City fuel economy	10 mpg
Highway fuel economy	13 mpg
Combined fuel economy	11 mpg
Annual fuel cost	$6,100 USD, EPA estimate
Tailpipe CO2	807.91 g per mile

Who it's for

This D250 is relevant to shoppers comparing older gasoline pickups and weighing a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive against official fuel economy. Its estimated annual fuel cost and low listed city and highway mpg are especially important for buyers who expect substantial driving. The available facts do not establish payload, towing capacity, dimensions, safety equipment or condition, so buyers should assess those needs separately rather than infer them from the model name.

Pros and cons

Potential advantages

A clearly specified 5.9 L eight-cylinder engine, five-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel-drive layout.
Separate city, highway and combined EPA fuel-economy figures make the listed efficiency easy to compare.

Considerations

Official economy is 11 mpg combined, including 10 mpg city and 13 mpg highway.
The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $6,100 USD, and listed tailpipe CO2 is 807.91 g per mile.
The available specifications do not include truck capacity, condition or equipment details.

Alternatives

For a wider look at the marque, browse Dodge cars. The listed alternatives are much newer Dodge models rather than direct same-year pickup comparisons: 2027 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack AWD 305/35ZR20, 2027 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack AWD 325/35ZR20 Rear, 2027 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack AWD 325/35ZR20 Rear A/S, 2027 Dodge Durango AWD, 2027 Dodge Durango AWD, 2027 Dodge Durango AWD, 2027 Dodge Durango AWD and 2027 Dodge Durango RWD. The supplied facts do not provide specifications for those alternatives, so a direct comparison of economy or costs is not possible here.

Verdict

The 1992 Dodge D250 Pickup 2WD has a straightforward listed configuration: a 5.9 L V8, five-speed manual and rear-wheel drive. Its official figures also make the fuel-cost trade-off plain: 11 mpg combined and an EPA annual fuel-cost estimate of $6,100 USD. It may merit consideration for buyers comparing this specific older pickup configuration, but the available information is not enough to judge its working capacity, equipment, or condition.
