1978 Dodge Ramcharger Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This truck Was a real surprise once I purchased it. I previously had a 1988 Ramcharger with a fuel-injected 318 v-8 and an automatic transmission, and though a definitely sturdy and hard working truck, the ride was very stiff and the fuel economy appalling. I like the older truck's style with the removable top and better styling, but w the real surprise was that with a bigger, carbureted engine and full-time 4- wheel drive, I was getting better fuel economy than the truck that was ten years newer! The ride was also incredibly smooth, smoother than any truck I've ever driven. This is by far the most fun vehicle I have ever driven, and the most capable. Apr 13, 2012

My Dad and I built my ramcharger from the ground up when I was growing up it was his third and the motor was in all three. It had a built 440 magnum V-8 with about 800hp and 500ft.lbs torque. He painted himself as well we wanted it to be different. It had the 78 offroad edition fram so it sat higher with 33" BFG All-terrain T/A KO's on 16" american racing wheels. The truck was unstoppable offroad and could burn the tires in 4 low. The gas mileage was it's only downfall it got about 130 miles to a 34 gallon tank of super, so about 4-8 MPG. Jul 02, 2010

It has a 440 with a Loadflite 3-speed auto, a basic suspension lift, and BFgoodrich All-Terrains. It's acctually not a Ram Charger, it's a POWER WAGON, but face book was stoopid enough to think they stopped making power wagons after 1968. This truck is simply bad ass, it's body is double layered, it has a 1-Ton axle in the rear with 4.10's, it will simply do anything you want it. it's awesomeJan 11, 2010
