Never heard of it either, no listing of it on any Dodge/Ram sights. Might be a 3rd Party after-market thing... I would imagine, living at the northernmost edge of the Okefenokee if they made it, I'da seen it...

Welcome to DF. Please be sure to check out the FAQ section as well as the Stickies at the top of the Tech and General section pages. LOTS of info there.
Swamp runner is more of a style of the vehicle I'd imagine. They have 12" lifts, swamp bogger tires..etc,.
Plus, if you give something a cool name, someone is bound to get all juiced up over it, even if it's a sticker package and nothing else. I remember when I worked at a dealership years ago, the GM hired a sticker guy to throw racing stripes on a V6 Camaro. The bill was $260. They charged $880 for the sticker package and called it a special edition. It was a basic v6'er with a sticker package and some poor sap payed $880 for what he could have had done himself for $260.
Is this thing lifted on bogger tires or what?
Dodge made Night runners and a baja style Sand runner package but is recent. That's all I know of "runners" that were on the assembly line.
