I'm so nostalgic for the Ram charger.. Dad passed away in May and I grew up with his 82 Ramcharger. Two toned candid apple red top and silver bottom. He had the 318 in that thing and it was a great fricking truck. Out over 200k on it. We went on every major family vacation from my childhood in it ??...damn I miss my dad

For sure, and even more so with a bare bones option. Ford could make so much off of it, especially considering the vintage following.

agreed. It seems like a product that was "rushed" to market when they realized the groundswell of support for the Bronco and Blazer

Yeah, it could be done a lot better, but at least the idea is floating. Damn I'd love to have one with a Cummings in it regardless.

That's my point. They're missing a huge amount of sales/profits if their base price doesn't start at around 30k. Essentially, the only thing remotely close is a Jeep Wrangler. They can step up the packages from there, but I want mine bare bones.

Just packed a cooler full of Monster energy drinks, took out a 7 year term loan @ 2.55% with no money down and quit my job. About to crush the new river gorge.

No thanks. Coupes are for sports cars


Well, not everyone wants a bus like grocery getter when getting a V8 powered, full-size SUV.

YES

The 1980s full sized Blazer is probably one of my favorite trucks ever.

The jeep Rubicon is far superior for cheaper and greater capability...

After $4k in upgrades, the Rubi can climb things even the Kentucky buggies flip over on.

Just buy a used '12 Rubi wit low miles. Throw rails on it, 3"-4" lift, 35s"...

PowerLine roads are yours when they shut it all down.

Everything except the friggen starter.. amirite?

I had two game wardens as neighbors back then and that was the state green jeans vehicle of choice (for Texas) and every friggen morning it took them both 15 minutes to start those dang things...
