The Dodge Ram Raider, produced from 1987 to 1989, was a limited-edition performance truck built on the foundation of the Dodge Ramcharger. This exclusive trim package aimed to bring a touch of sportiness and muscle to the full-size SUV segment, targeting those seeking a balance between off-road capability and on-road performance. The Raider was visually distinct, featuring a bold black and red paint scheme, along with a distinctive "Raider" decal on the tailgate. A lowered suspension, larger wheels, and a unique grille added to its aggressive aesthetic. Under the hood, the Ram Raider housed a powerful 5.9-liter V8 engine, capable of generating around 230 horsepower. This engine paired with a heavy-duty transmission, making the Raider a capable performer both on and off the road. Despite the performance enhancements, the Ram Raider retained the Ramcharger's versatility, offering ample cargo space, comfortable seating for up to six passengers, and a four-wheel-drive system to tackle challenging terrain.

While the service repair manual for this vehicle is crucial for owners to maintain and repair their Ram Raiders, it is also a valuable resource for collectors and enthusiasts who want to learn more about this unique and iconic truck. The manual provides detailed information on every aspect of the vehicle, from its engine and transmission to its suspension and electrical system.
