In 1971, Dodge introduced its "Lifestyle" pickups, designed to meet the needs of families who used them mainly for towing trailers on vacations. It was tough, yet comfortable inside and not too hard to drive. A popular option was the slide-on camper body (Dodge didn't sell the body, but did sell an option package which made them easier to install and use). Dodge still made tough trucks — indeed, the “lifestyle” trucks gave up little durability.
1972 (1973 in Canada) brought the Club Cab, to carry people in more comfort, or to store valuable equipment inside the truck, secure and out of the weather. Tim Vincent wrote, “The only difference I've come across so far [in the Club and regular cab] is the way the front spring hangers are connected to the frame, instead of rivets, there are bolts holding on the leading spring hanger.” The Club Cab had transverse seating for a third passenger (or two small passengers).
