Warlock History

n 1976, the first production Dodge Warlock was introduced following the public's positive response to a pickup originally designed as an auto show concept vehicle. The Warlock was a factory-personalized pickup that could "play as hard as it works," according to the period literature, complete with bucket seats, "fancy wheels, fat tires," chrome-plated running boards, real oak sideboards and special gold accent stripes inside and out. Production ran until 1979.

The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock will be produced at the Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Warren, Mich., which has built more than 12.5 million trucks since it started operations in 1938.
