The Dodge Ramcharger was a large sport utility vehicle built by Dodge from 1974-1993, and based on a shortened-wheelbase version of the Dodge D Series/Ram pickup truck chassis. A Plymouth version, named the Trailduster was offered for some time. The Ramcharger was primarily produced as a two-door, four-wheel drive vehicle although a two-wheel drive version was available. The vehicle was powered by a Chrysler LA engine, the LA 340, with 5.6 L displacement. As a full-size sport-utility, it competed with the Chevrolet Blazer and larger versions of the Ford Bronco.
Like many vehicles, the Ramcharger was used in rallying, although its use was very limited. It did have some success, as demonstrated by achieving first place at Sno*Drift in 1975.
