perhaps the vintage 4x4 market's best kept secret: the Dodge
Ramcharger. -Motor Trend, January 2019 The Motor Trend writers
continued: Existing deep in the shadow of the Bronco and the Blazer
even since new, the Ramcharger gets passed over for big-money
builds and restorations, leaving the majority of surviving examples
beaten and abused. It's a shame, considering these two-doors are
handsome brutes with a similar brawny, let-your-chest-hair-flow
vibe that makes the Bronco and K5 Blazer so popular. The... SUV
gave outdoorsy Mopar fans exactly what they sought: rugged
individuality. The Ramcharger was ostensibly a base-model Dodge
pickup that had nine inches chopped from the wheelbase and with the
bulkhead and roof lopped off the cab. The truck came standard
without a roof, but the vast majority were fitted with a heavy,
drop-on, optional steel top with a flip-up fiberglass rear window;
a vinyl soft top was also offered. The bed area of the interior
could be covered in rubber or carpet. Offered here is a 1984 Dodge
Ramcharger AW100, the base trim level, in tan over tan. The SUV's
odometer reads 134,336, a very conservative under-4,000 miles
per-year on average. This Ramcharger was a late-in-the-model-run
example with updated styling and a non-removable steel roof.
Originally South Dakota-owned, the truck's overall excellent
condition shows what owner care and a commitment to regular
maintenance can achieve. The Ramcharger's exterior non-metallic tan
paint has been refreshed and shows excellent gloss and uniform,
professional application. Body panels are entirely free of damage.
Chrome bumpers front and rear are in excellent condition, as are
the chrome front grille, door handles, and West-Coast style, chrome
side mirrors. Factory badging-including Dodge Ram emblem on the
tailgate, Ram Charger emblems on the front fenders, and Dodge badge
on the hood-is all correctly in place. Cabin glass and lighting
lenses are clear and undamaged. Stock, white-painted wheels with
brushed-metal hubcaps (and front locking hubs) are mounted with
raised-white-letter BFGoodrich® All-Terrain LT255/75R15 tires. The
Ram has a mild lift kit installed. The SUV's interior retains a
virtually stock look throughout. Interior surfaces-carpets, door
trim, seat upholstery, dashboard and more-all display excellent,
damage-free finishes. Simple door trim appears as-new. Black rubber
matting-characteristic of the ready for work base-model
look--covers the cabin and cargo-area floors. Vertically pleated
tan vinyl upholstery covers the foldable front high-back buckets
and removable rear bench seat (with armrests). The factory black
wheel (with pentastar Chrysler logo center badge) frames three
large instrument openings on the brown dashboard. Instrument
graphic markings are crisp. To the right, push-button
heat-and-air-conditioning controls and the factory
Chrysler-branded, digital AM-FM stereo radio are located. The shift
levers for the 4-speed manual transmission and the transfer-case
4WD selector are floor-mounted. The truck is also equipped with
power steering and power front disc brakes. Under the hood, the
5.2-liter (318-cubic-inch) Chrysler V8 retains its original finish
and unadorned look. All components-including air conditioning-are
properly in place in a meticulously clean en
