Dodge Ramcharger 2nd Gen

1987 – 1993

The Dodge Ramcharger, produced from 1974 to 1993, was a large sport utility vehicle built on a shortened-wheelbase version of the Dodge D series/Ram pickup chassis. A Plymouth variant called the Trail Duster was available from 1974 to 1981, representing Plymouth's sole SUV offering. The Ramcharger primarily came as a two-door, 4x4 vehicle, although a two-wheel-drive version was also offered. Competing with the Chevrolet K5 Blazer and the Ford Bronco, it was a popular choice for those seeking a full-size SUV. Despite its popularity, the Dodge Ramcharger was discontinued after the 1993 model year in North America. However, production continued in Mexico until 1996, extending its lifespan beyond the North American market. The Ramcharger's rugged design, off-road capabilities, and spacious interior made it a versatile vehicle for various purposes. Key Points: 1.
