The VW Rabbit pickup truck can be traced back to the introduction of the first VW rabbit in 1975. When it was first made available, it was as a 2-door or 4-door with a 4-speed, gas engine. A 3-speed and a 5-speed were also offered. Within the next two years, a few problems were noted and recalls were issued. By 1977, changes had been made to the vehicle and sales of the Rabbit began to increase in light of the energy crisis. By 1979, a diesel motor that could achieve almost 60 miles per gallon on the highway was introduced to the Rabbit. The vehicle remained exceedingly popular and even today; they still manage to hold their resale value. The first Rabbits were also made in the United States for the first time in 1979. The year 1980 proved to be big for Volkswagen. This was the year that the first VW Rabbit pickup was introduced to the public. The pickup was made possible by lengthening the body of the vehicle by about three feet. Even with just that slight change, this small truck was capable of tremendous carrying capacity. The VW Rabbit pickup also came with the option of a gas or diesel engine.
