Pretty cool except that they were only offered in Mexico. I talked to a foriegn car dealer and he said it would not be worth it. Most of them are beat up and have way too many miles.

Ya they were quite popular in mexico. I saw a few when I was down years ago. At first glance I just thought it was a Durango but it was definitly based on the 98+ ram. They also had some 5 ton Ram based trucks. They use them a coca-cola delivery trucks

Struck my eye too. I didn't know dodge made another suv back then besides the durango. I checked the allpar site and it looks like it's a redone version of the ramcharger, 1999-2001 only.

Found two videos of her:

Thing still looks much better than any suburban i've seen!

How in the hell is it that mexicans get cool **** like that, and we don't?
In the last 10 years all I've seen is ***gy jap cars, and american automakers trying to take on ***gy jap styles.

But in mexico they get new model ramchargers? Somebody tell me it isn't so...

I am guessing it was never offered here because it didnt meet US crash test requirements, like the newer ram chargers that were only sold in mexico.
