Ramcharger, Trailduster & Power Wagon Grrrr!! Tough Trucks! The Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster were full size SUV's that had good looks and brute strength. The Dodge Power Wagon was comparable to them in toughness, but came in pickup truck form only.

If you daily drive it, just burn the regular gas. 87 octane is what it expects anyway. If it sits for long periods of time, then the non-ethanol stuff is likely a good idea. I know the non- stuff here is quite a bit more than regular gas.......

That's a bit of extra cost and hassle. The ethanol fuel will eat rubber parts like fuel lines and fuel pump diaphragms up over time, but otherwise regular 87 octane will work just fine.
