Ram...charger. Hah.--Jnelson09 21:00, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The 5.2L was 318 cubic inches, not 320. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.67.242.130 (talk) 21:49, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but the Ramcharger (see also i.e. the german wikipedia entry is neither a Ram nor a Charger.
(at least we do know now Dodge could make up one name and name 3 vehicles with it :) — SuNotísima^Talk 22:00, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the Dodge Ramcharger was the same thing as a 1st-generation Dodge Ram with a roof and bench seat on the pickup bed (although it bears no relation to the Charger). —Reelcheeper (talk) 02:36, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

One word?

On the sides of these vehicles, the word "Ram" is above "Charger." The title of this article is "Dodge Ramcharger"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.136.96.119 (talk) 00:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC). That is what it was marketed as[reply]

Yeah, shouldn't it be "Ram Charger", not "Ramcharger". As said above on the side of the vehicle are two words. Also I looked at sales brochures of amazon.com, and both are clearly "Ram_ Charger" and "Trail_Duster". I think this article is wrong and should be changed.

Jim Allen's article in the June 2007 issue of "Off Road Adventures" magazine used Ramcharger (one word) exclusively, while the Trail Duster model was two words. Since that magazine usually knows their stuff and is usually right, I vote it stays. Plasticboob (talk) 00:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As the owner of four different Ramchargers of various years, i can assure you it is one word. The name plate on the vehicle is one word.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.87.149.130 (talk) 21:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mexican Ramcharger

Does anyone know the exact years when the 3rd-gen Mexican-only Ramcharger was produced? It uses the back door of the Caravan, so I would guess it was produced into 2001 to use up parts from the 1996-2000 Caravans. —Reelcheeper (talk) 01:58, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

D-series/Ram merger

Mechanically, the first-gen Ram/2nd-gen Ramcharger was little more than a rebranded & facelifted D/W series/1st-gen Ramcharger. They were the same truck underneath. Why should a separate section be kept for the 81-93 Ramcharger if it was little more than a slight visual redesign of the 74-80 Ramcharger? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pabst blue ribbon led zeppelin (talk • contribs) 15:46, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd surmise that the reason it was done that way in the first place is so the Ramcharger aligns with how the pickups are organized. I don't think it would help a reader's understanding to combine them here, so I think they should stay separated as they are. --Sable232 (talk) 22:46, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that it actually hinders a reader's understanding of the Ramcharger. The pickup might have been rebranded in 1981, but the Ramcharger was the exact same as it had been since the beginning. Neither the branding nor mechanics changed. There's no reason to count it as a separate generation. This also isn't done anywhere else. The R/V-based Blazer & Suburban as well as the V-Jimmy aren't counted as separate generations because of a simple branding change from "C/K" to "R/V". The same thing happened with the Ramcharger. Aside from a front fascia change and the shift to a nonremovable roof (precedent also with the K5 Blazer, as a similar change didn't warrant a separate generation), the 1979, 1980 and 1981 Ramchargers are all identical.
