The Dodge Ramcharger was a large sport utility vehicle built by Dodge from 1974 to 1993, and based on a shortened-wheelbase version of the Dodge D Series/Ram pickup truck chassis. A Plymouth version, named the Trailduster and offered from 1974 to 1981, was Plymouth's only SUV. The Ramcharger was primarily produced as a two-door, four wheel drive vehicle although a two wheel drive version was available.
The vehicle was usually powered by a Chrysler LA engine, the most common was the 318 in³ (5.2 L) with the 360 in³ (5.9 L) and even big-block RB 440 in³ (7.2 L) engines in the early years. As a fullsize SUV, it competed with the Chevrolet K5 Blazer and the fullsize Ford Bronco.
Like many vehicles, the Ramcharger was used in rallying, although its use was very limited. It did have some success, as demonstrated by achieving first place at Sno*Drift in 1975.
A second generation Ramcharger was produced in Mexico based on the second generation Ram pickup after 1994; however, it was never marketed for sale in the United States. [ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Dodge Ramcharger ]
