That’s not to say they can’t be useful or practical for a certain segment of buyers, just that that market is limited. Thing is, a lot of people say they would love a truck like the Rampage or Baja but when it comes down to it they don’t buy them because they don’t make for great trucks. About 10 times as useful for hauling real items in real life than the Subaru in my estimation, and sales numbers reflecting an even greater ratio. It can haul a 4-wheeler or snowmobile in the back.
Yeah, the sides are high, but the depth means more can fit under the tonneau cover. All the lumber, drywall, etc, thousands of pounds worth at a time.
Probably because it offered little practical hauling advantage over an Outback wagon.įWIW, I have an admittedly rather small box on my crew cab that nonetheless extends to about 8′ with the tailgate down and literally hauled my basement home. It was also all wheel drive with fairly big wheels. The Baja had a 41″ bed and was only capable of towing 2,000 pounds. And traction on our occasionally snowy or icy days doesn’t require lugging around a couple of hundred pounds of sandbags in the bed. What’s not to like? With the durable Chrysler 2.2 “Slant Four”, performance is certainly adequate given the Rampage’s 2,400 lb weight. It’s not like there’s something comparable available new, so he found this and is quite happy with it.
One way to find out: Hi there!Ī brief chat revealed that this Rampage was bought just six months ago, when the owner decided he wanted a compact but reasonably comfortable-riding truck. But whenever I come across a scene like this, I can’t help but wonder if this Rampage was bought new 30 years ago? It certainly seems plausible. Well, not much of it, which helps explain why these shots are a bit fuzzy. I came across this scene a couple of days ago on our walk, reveling in the fact that it was already well after five and there was still daylight. …then it’s time to close the gate to the shop, and hop in your Dodge Rampage for the drive home.
