Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1976 B100.
The 1976 Dodge B100 sits in a relatively quiet spot within the model's reliability history, carrying just two owner complaints and one recall on record. Both reported complaints center on the suspension, making that system the primary area of note for anyone researching this model year. That low complaint count suggests the 1976 B100 did not generate the same volume of reported problems seen in more troubled years, though the suspension issues and single recall still deserve attention in any ownership or restoration evaluation.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 1976 Dodge B100 dominate in one area — the suspension, 1 of 2 reports (50%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 1 recall campaigns target the suspension, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the suspension pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
