HISTORY
The earliest Dodge Ramchargers � and their rare Plymouth Trail
Duster cousins � put the �utility� in �sport utility.� In 1974, the
standard seating configuration was a single driver�s seat.
Passenger seats were optional, putting the Ramcharger at the bottom
of the price ladder among full-sized SUVs.
Like the Blazer and Bronco, the Ramcharger was based on the brand�s
full-size pickup entry. The short wheelbase D-Series trucks
provided the mechanicals and design. To stack up against the
Chevrolet, GMC and Ford competitors, the Ramcharger also had a
fully removable roof, but unlike the early Blazer, the Ramcharger
used full D-Series doors that left the window frames in place when
the top was off.
That top was different from those of the Blazer and Bronco, too,
primarily because it was optional; the base Ramcharger came with a
soft top only. Dodge marketing called out the optional steel top as
an advantage in its marketing to dealers. Unlike the Blazer and
Bronco, which were only available with black or white fiberglass
tops, buyers could order a Ramcharger or Trail Duster with
body-colored tops, or painted and textured finishes in black or
white.
To keep costs down, the Ramcharger shared many parts with the
D-Series, including double-walled construction in the bed, which
the Blazer and the Bronco lacked.
Dodge also positioned the Ramcharger�s engine choices as an
advantage, at least for the earliest trucks. By 1978, Ford only
built the Bronco with the 351-cid and 400-cid V-8s. Chevrolet and
GMC SUVs had the 250-cid six-cylinder and three V-8 choices. Dodge,
however, offered six engines, from the 225-cid six-cylinder all the
way up to the 440-cid V-8 on four-wheel-drive Ramchargers.
Similarly, Dodge applied the range of D-Series transmissions to the
Ramcharger: Choices included a three-speed manual, a wide- or
close-ratio four-speed manual, and the LoadFlite three-speed
automatic in the Dodge, versus a three-speed manual, four-speed
manual and three-speed auto in the Blazer, and just a four-speed
manual and three-speed auto in the Bronco.
In 1980, Dodge redesigned the D-Series and the Ramcharger with it.
Given that few people removed the tops, beginning with the 1981
model year, Dodge and Plymouth opted to build the Ramcharger/Trail
Duster with a fixed steel roof. If a buyer planned on using the
fiberglass tailgate the way one would at a football game, the
Ramcharger�s hatch offered the advantage of weather protection. The
Trail Duster would only make it one year with the new DSeries
design before it was dropped completely.
