I noticed that aswell👍

yes, I noticed, it was extremely well detailed

even on the spare tire lol

Then Doug put a big black spot on the carpet with his shoe! Lol

I'd suspect that it was either Larry from Ammo NYC or someone who watches him or someone from hwom Larry got the idea of "striping" the carpet as a final touch :D Or it's completely unrelated and it's nonsense, I don't know

Wow,imagine having all that land and this truck 🤟💯🙏🤠

My Mom's friend at the time had a 1989 Ram Charger with the 5.9 it was Silver with Black trim it wasn't the cleanest truck but it wasn't bad either for the year. He was such a good person he owned a camp and let me drive it all over the place lol. Between the ages of 10 and 14 I will never ever forget him or his truck I wish I got to have his truck before he passed. He was like an uncle to me and that truck would be parked in my garage and fully restored and kept until I pass it down to someone else.

Thank you.

they’re built to be.

125k is nothing for a 30 year old vehicle.

You can do wonders if you can afford preventative maintenance and detailings every week or month hehe

I don't think it is. I have seen some Mexican Ramchargers that are immaculate. This one would have a lot of competition.

Agreed, it looks like it came out of a time capsule

Lol you should see my 85

I used to live right up the hill from his popular review location. I know exactly where it is because when I would go running with my dog in the morning, one of our most common paths went through this parking lot where you can see the train tracks in the background. I recognize it very well. LOL! Great spot for these. We never saw lots of traffic in and out of here. It’s kind of a spot locals know to go for nice walks and runs. Other than that, there’s nothing spectacular for tourists.

While playing with yourself.

🤣

Weird kink but ok

@@theschof96 those are one of the coolest factory wheels ever

That interior feels like home away from home. Today's cars, for the most part, suck.

I have a 99 two door tahoe that is my baby. I sleep in it often while camping and having a roof vent would be awesome

Same, especially 80s and 90s!

@@randylahey1232 don't get me wrong the videos on the new and advanced vehicle i.e. luxury cars, exotics, etc... Aren't bad at all they're pretty cool but the videos on cars from the 70s, 80s, 90s are the best because it's badass seeing a classic car still driving around in perfect condition and learning all the "quirks and features" are very informative.

Chevy k-5 blazer Ford bronco

Ditto, especially showroom quality rare manufacturer collaborations

Lol forgot about the seat haha . My parents owned one also as they bought it brand new that I ended up buying off of them when I turned 19 . Wish I would of been a smarter kid and kept it although keeping it rust free in New Hampshire for the past 30 years would of been near impossible. Most of these were rotted out by the early 2,000's

Ejecto seato

Show me one like this for 5k and I’ll head to Mexico City

My dad has one here in Mexico. But it's a 93 350 dually Singe cab, it's in better condition than my 2010 Silverado. It's crazy how many classic trucks there are here in Zacatecas too.

mexico didn't get 4x4 try again buddy.

@@ramcharger_addict9525 yes sir butvdown there is a Lot of ram Chargers 4x4 from here

Yeah let’s say if I spot an 80’s Accord or Acura Legend six speed manual in pristine condition it would beat any Lambo in my eyes, maybe only exception is Countach

The cars you grow Up with are mostly the ones that you feel nostalgic for.

Hahah, I used to race a guy with a '93 Beretta GT with my '93 Dodge Shadow ES. Both were sweet cars back in the mid-90s, and he would beat my ass because the damn Chevy was like a quarter second faster in the 0-60 from a stop. I'd whup him on rolling starts but that didn't matter as much. Good times.

Agreed. Being in the back as a child that vent made all the difference. I was also yelled at many times for leaving the vent open. Needless to say I got very used to shutting the vent from the back bumper by slapping it shut. Good times 😆

My grand dad had one of these briefly and yup, was also for all the dead deer you would throw in the back of the RamCharger...../s

Seems like common sense to me. I don't understand Doug's confusion.

@@tombittikoffer412 Actually, for carrying dead large game you would have preferred a four wheel drive pickup truck. Especially in later models with carpeting hauling a dead moose in the back end would have made a BIG mess. In the 1970's these came with black mats so it would have been easier to clean up but you definitely wouldn't want to put dead moose in this fully carpeted beast. My father had a mid 70's Ford Bronco with a four speed manual with first gear being a "granny" gear, they had their place (and we actually used that "granny" gear and four low to get out of deep, deep, deep sand once, that was probably the only time the "granny" gear was ever used in it) but they weren't an everyday vehicle unless you lived out in the middle of nowhere (although I had an uncle with a Ramcharger and another with a Blazer and both sure did try).

Roof vent, a must have for the avid smoker

Love The 1972-1993 Dodge Full size Pickups and Ramchargers Guess Dodge Loved that Body Style or were saving Money Using it For 21 years with face lifts.

Thumbs up for fully correct use of nauseous.

Came to post exactly this! You wouldn't be able to drive with the front windows down at any speed without something in the back to bleed the pressure.

I had an '83 and on the highway, having the vent open for extended periods actually dropped the MPG 🤦. It caused that much extra drag. Like an airbrake on a jet. 🤣

@@shawnkelly7869 did you never catch that mythbusters episode where they test if having the windows down impacts fuel economy?

@@nicholaswilks580 I did. But that was compared to A/C being on too. I'm telling you from experience. Went from 14 to 12 at least on that trip. Same route from Louisiana to Alabama just opposite direction.

my first thought

RAMCHARGERS!

Plweaseee !

I hear him everytime I read the name Ramcharger

I'm relieved humanity isn't that stupid they would also rate this comment 1k thumbs up.

Excellent point. Sometimes Doug draws conclusions without taking a little time to research it. One example is his review of the 1991 Mercedes 560 SEL where he mocked them for installing a manual mirror on the drivers side. They did that because they figured the driver could easily reach it, and not having the motor was one less thing to go wrong, a philosophy that went out the window with the introduction of the W140s. Of course, trucks had the manual shifter on the steering column for years, so seeing a floor shifter was the exception, not the rule. Makes perfect sense NOT to design a 4WD gearbox for automatics to simply have it centered. Now we have paddle shifters and buttons, so the whole thing is moot.

@@caseycooper5615 It wasn't just the ergonomics of the manual transmission, if you look under one the transfer case itself is offset to the side of the transmission.

@@caseycooper5615 it's a little cringy when a reviewer who wasn't even born when these cars were on the road en masse, vs someone who has ridden in most 60s 70s 80s and 90s cars long before they were considered classics. Want to confuse Doug? Ask him where the jack is on that 2003 lol! First couple of jack parts located at 15:43 other under coolant reservior

doug does zero research

I can guarantee you that, long after all the more (AHEM) "user-friendly" 4wd selector systems have had to have switches and solenoids replaced, this lever will still be accurately and crisply changing the differentials.

the best doug videos.

Agreed

My parents put a Sunroof in the front so we had 2 sunroofs, the air flow was amazing, and yes sadly my parents smoked so 2 sunroofs PLUS the little vent windows worked very well

It makes a big difference. Even cracking the rear hatch in my cj7 and bungie cording it to the spare tire makes a huge difference and im sitting in the front!

Stunning

It's a smoker's vent.

The vent windows on the front doors are really all you'll need as they actually circulate the air through and around the cabin pretty well by themselves. That was the great thing about them. The vent on top actually sucked air out of the cabin due to the way it opens to the rear.

👴🏻 why these people moving into our neighbourhood and lowering our home value

It will probably outlast a car made in 2022. I wish modern cars were more analog. Would think it is super collectible. The sales binder is a really nice touch. Have the sales binder for my 2009 Dodge Challenger.

Still there, never left Girlfriend's just didn't get it.

Had one with 44 inch mud tires and a 8 inch lift kit. Was awesome.

@@gregleuze6657 indeed, too many things designed to fail these days

My 1994 Ford F150 pickup has that rain gutter too. And the 4x4 lever on the floorboard in the middle. Unfortunately I did not order the optional push button on the dash to get it into 4x4. Should have.

That rain gutter is something I wish I had on my car these days.

XJs, And CJs have it too

@@AkarZaephyr my jeep has one on the hard top, wen u open the door it dumps it right into the floor panel and on top of u as u climb in

Sounds like that was more on your gramps for not making her take the tray off the window before he adjusted it.

My dad had a Prospector as well! I’m sad Doug didn’t get to experience hitting his head on that damn rollbar when getting in the back seat lol

I have an 84 and my headliner surprisingly didn’t sag. It faded and was extremely hard to take off the mold for new fabric. That glue was something else.

I've got an 83 royal SE Prospector. My headliner is still up, and the thing still has all the factory metal. (No rust). At 92k, she sees no winters here in Indiana, and delegated to summer and boat towing trips. Love it, its fun to own.

I'm a diehard K5 blazer guy, but even I think this truck is absolutely gorgeous

They were.

Indeed.

you can't go wrong with any of those three. I love them all

I don’t know…..1978-79 Bronco has this beat I believe. 😉

I've heard about the blizzard of 78 here in Indiana and I've been through some storms but the pictures of seen with only the tips of the telephone poles sticking out of the drifts I can't imagine that winter.

@@michaeljohn9263 whether you're into fishing, camping or cooking doesn't make you a boy, girl, man, woman. 80s were right about we should stop gender stereotypes and stop categorizing or restricting general human things by sex. The issue with today is instead of accepting gender non conformity as No Big Deal, things have gone hyper categorizing and stereotypes, whether the infinite gender ideology mess or the opposing group that want to box up and define men and women in an oppressive way.

I was tracking right along with you during the video until I spotted the heartbreaking body panel crack surrounding the latch on the rear hatch. Can you imagine how disappointed you'd be with yourself when you backed into something and damaged this sweet, sweet ride? I'd never forgive myself.

@@esperago it's literally in such a priceless condition, that the only way i'd buy it, would be for a steal of a deal, then sell to a mopar collector for the highest offer... defintietly a 100k+ time capsule when the economy is just righttt

Correct! (source: mine had a 4-speed)

You beat me to it...

Umm, no. Old school shifters only used mostly straight metal rods to connect to the xfer case. The shifter is kicked over so those rods can run next to the trans.

Or that of a floor-mounted shifter for an automatic transmission. These transfer cases were mated to more than one model, so they probably had their lever offset to the right to accomodate whatever transmission lever would equip the vehicle they were mounted on.

All Dodge trucks of this generation (72-93) had the shifter to the right regardless of transmission

I had an 83 ramcharger that my grandfather bought brand new. By the time I got it, the truck was 15 years old and had 100k on it. It was a 150 royal se. I wish I still had it. Truck was towed and got damaged so I sold it years ago.

I was looking for a Lone Wolf McQuade reference in the comments. IIRC his was supercharged.

@@LS3ftw15 , I think that his vehicle was a custom vehicle that was in that movie and that its power output was around what a modern era Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk produces, i.e., around a Hellcat engine would produce in horsepower and torque outputs.

wow...great story.

I agree, the 318 was a solid engine....and somewhat tunable for more power. A manual transmission and a 318 was a solid set-up.

What car do you own now?

The four speeds in the blazers at least are pretty much unkillable as well

Being a Plymouth guy, I always preferred the Trailduster. I wouldn't be picky if either model came my way.

Something about that red though just makes it feel off personally I'd paint it a nice blue or Green

@Tinder in real life 🅥 You were waiting for a video on a ram charger?

I still own my 93 ramcharger I bought new in 1993. Not as nice, almost 200k miles. But, thtis was marketed towards guys like me who were Dodge loyalist who didn't want to own a jeep. I grew up with previous ramcharger edition and the whole characteristic of it meets my needs. I also outfitted my dad's 1975 ramcharger with a hellcat. I absolutely love these thinsg.

Was it yours or your dads car

@@K1ng1995 Mine was blue

My friends dad had the Orange with white top too. So cool. It had a rollbar too. Lots of good memories.

Amazing

My '75 was orange with a white top as well. The top could be removed, but it took a t least two guys to remove it. It then became a convertible pickup.

I've had 100s of people stop on my property out in the country asking if my 90 ramcharger is for sale

It's the reason I bought one, used it for hunting, fishing and my winter vehicle cause it was good in the snow

Like comparing a park bench to a padded cell. Yeah they were unsafe to crash, but way more natural feeling.

The closest I’ve found in a modern vehicle smaller than a suburban was the Subaru Forester. The interior is very upright and boxy and the ones with a sunroof have a huge glass panel for it. Like 32x29” which is massive for a non-“panoramic”

@@ridewithme3428 Totally agree, the 1st and 2nd gen Forester (and Outbacks before 2010) are the most airy cars Ive seen ever. You can see at any stop light how the body is always lower than rest of the cars around. Big glasses and a massive solar roof did wonders to feel big space and a luminous interior. I cannot stand modern cars because of they are the opposite.

Crash test ratings have forced everything into having thick window pillars.

Absolutely! I can't stand all the huge pillars and tiny windows that cause lots of blind spots. I had a 1988 Jeep Cherokee and I loved how open and roomy it felt and the visibility was excellent.

The High and Mighty '49 Plymouth !

Yup,they were legendary,without factory backing at the start. Once they started racking up wins,Chrysler took a second look at what they’re employees were doing for fun.

they will be eligible to legally import in 2 years. The Mexican-only Ram Chargers were available from 99 to 01 . Also some other facts many people don't know: the OBS Ram Charger was sold in Mexico through 96, so you can legally import those right now and will look the same as the one in the video.
