1982 Dodge Rampage Sport review from North America
"I'd love to have one again.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only complaint I had with this car was the design of the clutch cable. It is ridiculously long and literally wraps around the engine. The problem is that in the time I own the car I went through two of them. Furthermore most cars will allow you to "shift" if your R.P.M.'s are right, not so with this car.
General comments?
I loved the car, and if I find one again I'll likely buy it.
Very handy and cheap on gas.
Handles very well and the double steel box holds up really well, even if the payload cap. is a little light, (what do you expect).
Construction, fit and comfort were very good. The only reason I sold the car was my wife and I out grew it (family), otherwise I would have driven it into the ground.
