any idea what the room behind the third row is in the Kia terrilude and hyundai palisade?
they look like decent competition for the suburban...and at half the price
Ramcharger concept?

I would make it a two door and make the rear windows that round up into the roof like the old style. For the grille I would use the whole front end of the RAM 1500 sport/Rebel lettered fascia but have it Spell RAMCHARGER. But as is, considering that vehicles have become the soulless compromise that they have degraded into thanks to government over reach and endless litigation, I think it looks a lot better than everything else.
While on the subject, I really want to know why everyone that builds trucks and SUV's thinks that the size has to rival something out of the Sterling/Kenworth/Peterbuilt/Mack/Freightliner factories. I think the Ram Rebel built at the same size of the 1996-2004 four Dakotas would be great if you could get it without the truly stupid "infotainment" electronic systems that we are blessed with in new vehicles now.

thats more like it. i could go for that
Persactly! Now if we could get it with a 1991 instrument cluster we’d have something... I wish I could find one like my friends 1991 forestry service W-250, 4.10s with Trac-Loc front and rear, NV4500, 360 magnum, maximum weight spring option...but shooting for a 1985 D350 I’ve found to build a trailer puller with...
.
Found you in a 85 Ramcharger with the 91 diesel running gear in it that would pull okay.
1985 Dodge Ramcharger 4x4 Cummins Turbodiesel
Daing! Someone finally gets it that the 1500 HD platform was too light for the ramcharger the 3/4 ton HD CDF/forestry/military underpinning with the Cummins totally makes it. Best thing you can do for one is put Dana 60’s with 70 full ton outers on the front axles with a lock right in the front and trac-lok rear and 3/4 ton springs
I saw one of these at in the parking lot at the Indy swap meet a few years ago. It was neat
Ha Johnny Dart, I hope you live t be an "old codger"!!!!!!
I personally don't are for it either, but again, I am an old codger!!!!! I rather have an old ramharger for pennies on the $. ha
