The only goofy thing about them is that they have a Caravan rear hatch and tail lights.

Yeah if you take a look at the stats most of our rams were made in Mexico. The Dodge Ram SUV with the V10 is a beast, if you took the time to cross the border you could probably pick one up for a ridiculously low price.

Yes and when you go down there to get it make sure you bring cash.I'm sure you'll make it back.

Well fellas I've worked the border since December 2005, and this is the 1st one I've ever seen. Believe me, I have seen a lot of Mexican cars in that time. There is no way you could register one of these beasts, but you could drive around for a long time with Mexican plates. Hell you can buy Mexican plates down here at the flea market for $10.

Look at this, 1998+ Sport Grille on a regular bumper. Didn't think that was possible.

I live in East Texas and have seen 1 Mexican-market RamCharger and an old (94 most likely) Ram 3500 with Mexican plates.
Guess what was driving them...lol

I don't understand why you couldn't register them though. Do they have to be imported legally or something?? lol

They don't meet US emissions standards. Mexico doesn't have any....... Although, one would think it wouldn't be all that hard to get them to pass a sniffer test.......
