He is an odd dude for sure. But he really dives into a car when he reviews it, leaves no stone unturned. When he did a Bronco recently when they were pre release it was funny because ford gave him a model that didn't even have an engine, just display. He still did a in depth review lol.

He reviews some interesting stuff. But I have never noticed his movements really until this video lol.

During my bachelor years, I drove an '85 Ramcharger 4x4 for my daily for a few years. It was rusty and ugly, but it was a great vehicle. With some decent tires on it, it would go pretty much anywhere I wanted. You could also throw a bunch of stuff inside of it, and haul a decent load on a trailer.

I'd like to get another one here in the near future.

This '93 he is reviewing is a very nice example. If you can ignore the urge to hit this guy upside the cranium with an aluminum baseball bat.........

30 years is a great run for any vehicle. Especially one that has been used for plowing and salting.

Absolutely, and a pretty uncommon Canyon Sport to boot. FWIW, I prefer a good old fashioned wood bat and multiple strikes.

The Ramcharger is extremely nice and any Mopar guy would love to have it.

The guy deserves to be hit with a simple 2x4, he doesn't rate a bat.

Obviously he wanted to be an actor and went to a Shakespearean acting school. laugh2
The way he overacts make me think of William Shatner. whistling

37 seconds and I was done with that. Annoying doesn't even begin to describe that.

Clown reviewer (I dont know how anyone subscribes to that guy) aside, Dodge has to be in a tough spot with the RamCharger these days. The bronco is back, scout coming back and word on the street is the GMC Jimmy is as well, all retro designs. Dodge could easily put a retro cool ramcharger body on a wrangler frame and call it a day but they just see it as eating wrangler sales.

I have always liked them... years ago I bought a 2WD model that was rusted bad ..paid $200 for it and made close to $3,000 parting it out ( had a 360 crate motor and a 518 in it )

He drives me nuts, but his info is good, so I watch his videos.

I had a 90 and one of the most comfortable rides I’ve ever had. Would like to find another in that era with no rust if possible.

Beautiful truck. thumbs The Canyon Sport package is extremely rare.

This is the SUV I remember from back in the day. 2 doors. Short wheelbase. Solid front axle. Transfer case shifter on the floor. Built for offroad.

Back then, 4 door full size SUVs were extremely rare. The only 4 door full size SUVs you could buy were the Chevy Surburban and Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

The Jeep Cherokee XJ, Ford Explorer and Jeep Grand Cherokee changed everything.

This guy reminds me of Gilbert Gottfried, ANNOYING and he needs to wear hand cuffs to keep his arm from flailing around! No love for the Plymouth Trailduster? And you could get a Ramcharger up to 2001 but only in Mexico.

Those look great until you get around back and realize it just has a Caravan's hatch jammed on it, even has Caravan taillights best I can tell.

That was a sweet Ramcharger…my ‘89 blazer isn’t much different. That guy isn’t too familiar with transfer cases either, the shifter is in the same place as my blazer and my 2012 4Runner. The little roof hatch is an awesome idea to keep the vehicle from getting hot in the sun without lowering the side windows. I too love the wing windows!

The durango of the era also had caravan tail lights. I remember seeing the two parked beside each other at a dodge body shop I worked at back then and was amazed at how similar their rear ends were
