This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves.

Could your 1985 Dodge W250 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty W250) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge W250 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
