The 1996 Dodge Ramcharger, a rugged and powerful full-size SUV, marked the final year of production for this iconic model. Introduced in 1981, the Ramcharger was a descendant of the Dodge Power Wagon, inheriting its off-road prowess and durable construction. The 1996 model retained the Ramcharger's signature boxy design, offering ample cargo space and seating for up to six passengers. This final iteration was available in two trim levels: the base model and the well-equipped "Luxury" variant. Power was provided by a robust 5.2-liter V8 engine, delivering ample torque for hauling heavy loads and navigating challenging terrain. The Ramcharger's solid axle suspension system, coupled with its high ground clearance, contributed to its impressive off-road capabilities. Despite its enduring legacy, the 1996 Ramcharger faced stiff competition from newer, more modern SUVs. The increasing popularity of car-based SUVs with their superior fuel economy and more refined handling contributed to the Ramcharger's decline in sales. Ultimately, the Ramcharger's production was discontinued following the 1996 model year, leaving behind a lasting impression in the annals of American automotive history. The 1996 Ramcharger stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of rugged, capable SUVs, and it continues to be a popular choice among collectors and enthusiasts seeking a piece of automotive history.
