The record

The Ramcharger arrived late against the Blazer and Bronco and sold modestly — about 30,000 across its generations — ending in North America in 1993 when Dodge put its money into the new Ram pick-up; Chrysler de Mexico built it into the 1990s and revived the name briefly in 1999–2001.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
