Dodge vans up to 3.5 t (class N1) – collective page for the EU light-van class: from the forward-control A100 through the B series (Tradesman/Sportsman) to the Ram Van/Wagon and Grand Caravan, engines from 57 to 372 kW, up to 10 cylinders

The EU vehicle class N1 covers light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every Dodge range recorded in that class. Dodge was founded in 1900 by brothers John and Horace Dodge in Detroit and has belonged to Chrysler since 1928, today Stellantis. The model list shows the brand's classic US van history: the A100, Dodge's first forward-control van and pick-up (1964–1970), the following B series (B100 to B350) with the trim names Tradesman (cargo version) and Sportsman (passenger version), plus later Ram Vans/Wagons and the Grand Caravan people carrier. The ten-cylinder engine of 8.3 litres recorded in the dump corresponds to the well-known Dodge V10, also used in Ram pick-ups.

The register lists 418 versions, with recorded outputs of 57 to 372 kW, displacements of 1,960 to 8,300 cm³ across 4 to 10 cylinders, kerb weights of 1,220 to 3,330 kg and gross vehicle weights of 1,440 to 3,500 kg; width ranges from 1,170 to 2,500 mm, length from 4,300 to 6,050 mm.

The span from the compact four-cylinder to the 8.3-litre V10 shows how broad Dodge's commercial-vehicle programme was over the decades – from simple tradesman's vans to powerful pick-up drivetrains.

On a used example, what matters on the A100 and B-series models is frame and floor-pan corrosion, the condition of the often worn steering gear, on the V10 engines oil consumption and the cooling system, and on all US imports the European registration history. Spare parts usually run through specialised US-car dealers.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
