Dodge Rampage car - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: The Dodge Rampage was a compact pickup truck based on Chrysler's L platform. First released as a 1982 model, it was later joined by the similar Plymouth Scamp. It was produced from 1982 to 1984. The Rampage was part of the Dodge Omni family, borrowing that car's chassis and the front fascia from the sporty 024/Charger variant. It was available with a 2.2 L carbureted straight-4 engine with 96 hp (71 kW) and a curb weight of around 2400 lb (1089 kg). In the first year it had leisurely performance due to the 4-speed manual transmission. Performance was improved with the introduction of a 5-speed manual transmission in 1983. The truck had a load capacity of 1,145 lb (520 kg), for a true "half ton" rating. This compared favorably to General Motors Chevrolet El Camino. It must be noted, however, that the Volkswagen Rabbit Sportruck was the Rampage's only real competition. The Dodge Rampage was based on the popular Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon. [br]Their high gasoline mileage and modest price were good for the time, [br]but the engine was also the cause of the vehicle's failure — it could [br]not deliver the performance of the El Camino, but when one compared it [br]to the Volkswagen Rabbit Sportruck, the Rampage seemed to have the [br]upper hand. The Rampage's front wheel drive [br]configuration also added to its deficiencies, as a front wheel drive [br]layout is not usually used for trucks. The Plymouth Scamp was only sold [br]in 1983, [br]making it a collector's item. The Rampage lasted three years, though, [br]and was removed from production after the 1984 model year.
