1992 Dodge Rampage review from North America
"Definitely Different"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I put 3 mufflers on this truck. I felt that the muffler was the one item that was not engineered at all.
CV joints were replaced on both sides.
General comments?
The Dodge Rampage is a compact sport-truck based on the 1992 Dodge Omni 024. It is front wheel drive, and has a pickup bed and tailgate. It is only a two seater, but I loved this thing. The power was pretty good when mated with the manual transmission. The automatic really took a lot of power to turn.
I did not have an air conditioner in mine. I wished for one every summer. The Rampage tends to absorb heat. After tinting my windows, I noticed a great decrease in heat.
When it comes to stereos, there isn't much choice. The front doors will accept 5.25" speakers, but there isn't much depth.
Bonus for the interior, is that all Rampages have a rear storage shelf. It is handy for tossing certain items into. The drawback is that spirited driving tends to slide things from side to side.
I sold mine off when I was broke and poor in the military. I wish I had it back. It is different, and has character.
