Ramburban?

Who is doing the conversions? Wonder if it would be US legal to import them. :P

I think these conversions were done in the US. Not to be confused with the Mexico-market 2dr Ramcharger from '94 to about 2000 or so...

Even the old cornflake box trucks made a nice Ramburban:

I don't understand why Dodge left this market... and now it is probably too late to join it.

Sadly. They tried to open the door to this particular segment again with the second-generation Durango, but that wasn't exactly a home run success.

I do know this: if it's somehow kosher to bring a last-gen Mexi Ramcharger stateside, I'm going down to Mexico. I know I've seen a few of them pop up on various sections of California's Craigslist, but I never really knew the legality of registering the truck.

I don't how they get registered either, but I've seen a couple around the Phoenix area w/ AZ plates, and a couple w/ Mexico plates...

ocnblu, I believe it was to be the Chevy Suburban that was going to offer the six doors, but my memory could be wrong. If not the Suburban, it would have to be the Excursion.

IIRC there was buzz in a magazine or on the Internet about 15 years ago about a stretched Burban option that would have had the rear-opening extended cab pickup doors behind the regular 4 doors...

In the last two years Washington state has seen a rapid growth of the Hispanic community. With it is a few ram-chargers from Mexico. All they have to do here and I suspect the same in California and Arizona is pass a State trooper safety inspection and emissions and if all passes, then they get a state licenses.
