Dodge was always a top SUV and pickup truck brand in the Mopar world. Despite having a successful line of trucks, they were always exploring the possibilities for introducing new models. One of those experiments, although not especially successful, was the Dodge Rampage offered from 1982 to 1984.

Despite being a good idea, the Rampage was an overall failure. It was ugly, so the sales were sluggish. The reason was that the front-wheel-drive passenger car platform was not tough enough for any serious tasks. Also, the diminutive 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine only produced 96 HP, so it was not powerful or strong enough to tow anything.
