The Dodge Ramcharger was a large Sport Utility Vehicle built by Dodge from 1974 to 1993, and based on a shortened-wheelbase version of the Dodge D Series / Ram Pickup Truck chassis. A Plymouth version, named the '''Trailduster''' and offered from 1974 to 1981 , was Plymouth's only SUV. The Ramcharger was primarily produced as a two-door, four wheel drive vehicle although a two wheel drive version was available.

The vehicle was usually powered by a Chrysler LA Engine , the most common was the 318 in³ (5.2 L) with the 360 in³ (5.9 L) and even big-block RB 440 in³ (7.2 L) engines in the early years. As a fullsize SUV, it competed with the Chevrolet K5 Blazer and the fullsize Ford Bronco .
