1982 Dodge Rampage Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Performance -I Love this thing...Is it a car? Is it a truck? It's actually a better Truck that you'd think. It's payload is rated @ 1,100 pounds and it does pull it not real well up the Mountains here in PA but, what can you say, it's a fwd 4 cylinder. Build Quality - Not too bad it has rust issues here in the North but the Struccture isn't bad. Appearance - I love the looks that it gets as I drive it down the road. Mine is not a show piece but I'd take it if I had the time to finish it about half decent just because I want to see the reactions to it. Cost of Ownership - It's a 2.2 Chrysler Parts are cheap and easy to find. Body Parts...not so much Rampage specific Parts are getting really difficult.Jul 23, 2009

I owned a 1982 Ramage and then a 1983 Plymouth Scamp. I had a job where I was doing a lot of windshield time and had to carry a small load of tools. I drove those vehicles each over 200,000 with minimal problems and excellent fuel economy. They handled very well and were a delight to drive. I live in Montana where we have serious winters and the front wheel drive was wonderful in getting around. The only significant negative was that they had the lousiest carburetors in the world and I was constantly changing and/or overhauling them. They should have been fuel injected like the later 2.5 liter engine. I liked them so well that I am restoring one now to use as a personal daily driver.Apr 23, 2009

I have driven a rampage for the last fifteen years,and their are maney reasons why i think it is the best truck ever made.First it drives and handles great,it is very easy to get in and out of.The doors open very wide,also you can put things behind the seats {the first exstended cab].You can put things in the back of the truck very easy without streaching over the sides. The gas mileage is great ,i get 26 to 31 miles per gallon.Mar 04, 2008
