Ramburban

I've got a Ramburban built in 1997 by Bayer Auto in Minnesota. I am told it cost $55000.00 new (I'm the 4th owner). It's a 97 Ram 2500 Cummins, Manual trans, 4X4 w rear air and a jake break and a 4/10 rear end. I'll be putting a 2 speed rear end in it soon to give me better miles on the highway. It's got 167000 miles on it. I also own a 99 Ram 2500 Diesel 2WD which I bought new.

You can bring vehicles in from Canada, not sure how you bring one in from Mexico (other than the one I own, of course ).
Back of that thing looks like a minivan...


I saw one on the road about 5 years ago and thought the same thing then....

Yes, good eye. I remember reading somewhere that they used the rear hatch off the Caravan.

Still would be the easiest Cummins SUV conversion IMHO.

I have seen 3 of those from Mexico here in Texas, they said ramcharger on the side. In person they look like a 2 door Durango on steroids.
