Ramcharger, Trailduster & Power Wagon Grrrr!! Tough Trucks! The Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster were full size SUV's that had good looks and brute strength. The Dodge Power Wagon was comparable to them in toughness, but came in pickup truck form only.

Default A late 90s Ram Charger?

During the Christmas break, I was in a Wal-Mart parking lot when I ran across this. I know they were suppose to have discountinued the Ram Charger in 93, but this was no Durango. The front was a Ram, the rear looked very different than the Durango, the side had only two doors, the rear looked completely stock. What do you think?

Yeppers.... the vehicle you see is a Mexican Dodge RamCharger. They werent produced/sold in the USA because they didnt meet the crash test demands of the US. They're nice looking, and probably served as the precursor to the Durango in the first place.....

Okay, I knew I heard of the Mexicans having them, but I didn't know they updated to the 94-01 platform. I didn't get a good look on the inside, only enough to see that it had the 98+ steering wheel. I guess either they got the "Ram" and "Charger" badges when the brought it here, or for some reason they kept the naming in English when they made them in Mexico. It did look nice. I wish they could have made it work here in the U.S.

Mexican built RC. Even some of the early 90's models were built in Mexico(Lago Alberto Plant) and shipped to the US. The other problemwith the 94+ models is that they won't meet emissions standards here in the US and can't be registered/insured...legally.
