Never seen/heard of the Plymouth Trail Duster until I was one for sale several years ago (~2020) on Craigslist. Kewl/odd vehicle. Old SUVs were the real deal. Unlike most of today's unibodies.

Basically all American vehicles had a rebadged version with their sister brand. I like the trail duster just because it was more rare, plus, Plymouth looked great across the grill on the earlier ones, but they really are the same vehicle as the ram charger. Then, dodge in the late 70s started rebadging Mitsubishi cars and this was a low point in dodge history. Just look at the 1978 dodge challenger.
