In México, the Ramcharger was not released until the mid-1980s, and it kept the same platform until 1996. From 1997-1998 there were no Ramchargers, and from 1999 to 2001 there was a Mexican-only Ramcharger built over the platform of the Ram Quad Cab without the extra 2 doors, just the extra space. These had the 318 or 360 (5.2 or 5.9) engines; the 360 seems to have been more popular, and more manuals appear to have been sold than automatics. SLT trim was available in these last models with the 360 or 5.9 Magnum. From 1994-96 the Magnum engines were used, with roller heads, real performers at the time with multiple-point fuel injection and electronic four-speed transmissions.
A new Ramcharger was sold in Mexico from 1999 to 2001; the two-door vehicle was, however, prone to quality issues. The Mexican Ramcharger was engineered by Chrysler of Mexico, and was based on the standard Dodge Ram pickup. In these models, the 360 engine was reportedly rare.
In their good times, 1989-96, they had no match in the SUV arena in Mexico; the bad points were mileage and lack of rear side doors.
