Mexican built Dodge Ramcharger. They stopped making them in 2001 - I've
been hunting these rare things for a very long time. They are illegal
for import to the USA due to emission regulations. The mexican versions
probably have no CATs and different engine computer programming. As far
as I can tell however - they are all TWO WHEEL DRIVE models. I contacted
D.C in Auburn(sp?) Hills MI headquarters seeing specifications and
build info... and they said they have no information on them. They told
me it was a project that was not developed in the US and the central
office doesn't keep tabs on everything they do in Mexico. The Mexico
subset of Dodge can do what it wants (within reason) seperatly from the
US market.
When I win the lottery I'll smuggle one up here convert it to 4wheel
drive and make it emission legal so the tree huggers are happy.
