The Dodge Ram Raider, produced from 1987 to 1989, was a limited-edition performance truck that marked a pivotal moment in the history of Dodge's pickup truck lineup. This model, based on the Dodge Ramcharger, was designed to capture a segment of the market that craved a robust and agile truck with enough power to handle off-road adventures and everyday driving. The Ram Raider was distinguished by its bold styling, featuring a unique black paint job with red accents, a prominent “Raider” decal on the hood, and aggressive bodywork. It rode on a lifted suspension with larger tires, adding to its commanding presence.

Under the hood, the Ram Raider boasted a powerful 5.9-liter, 360 cubic-inch V8 engine, producing an impressive 230 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. This engine was mated to a heavy-duty 727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth power delivery and capable towing. The Ram Raider offered a blend of off-road prowess and on-road comfort. Its standard four-wheel drive system, heavy-duty axles, and robust suspension components enabled it to tackle rough terrain with ease. Inside, the cabin was equipped with comfortable bench seating, a basic dashboard, and essential gauges. While the Ram Raider was not offered with luxurious amenities, its focus on functionality and performance made it a formidable and desirable choice for those seeking a truck that could handle anything thrown its way.
