Ram Charger, Rivian And A Rubicon Take On West Rim!

[@johnbrill1971]

Stock vehicles can go just about anywhere with a good driver. So cool to see the old RAM out and about.

[@javabeanz8549]

It is a lot about the wheelbase, and how much sticks out on the ends and underneath. I have driven a lot of Dodge vehicles ( some made by Mitsubishi ) that went places you wouldn't take an SUV or Jeep, simply because they were small enough, and had a low enough center of gravity. But the most capable vehicle I have ever had, was an early 80"s Subaru Wagon, it was everything the Dodges were, and four wheel drive, but wound out completely was 85MPH, downhill.

[@SeguroOffroad]

Tons of ram chargers doing dope things at @fullsizeinvasion years of content.

[@ttsfabworks]

Agreed, but you won’t get a stock Ramcharger or any stock rig through a level 5+ trail in Las cruces without serious body damage anymore since trail maintenance stopped in that area 10 years ago. And that what makes LC my favorite place.

[@donwilliams3626]

Nice display of capabilities. I'm looking forward to see how capable the Ram will be when it is 1/2 DUN!

[@DougBennettActs6-1]

Rudy is such a gem. Matt doesn't have to carry pics around of his son, he just points them to KZbin. Thanks for posting.

[@jeffclark2725]

Oh wow,that ram charger is heaven, all the rattling, sqeaking,bouncing around, roar of the V8 thumbs up

[@theinstructor2687]

A long time ago, I had a 1981 Ram Charger. It had a 360 V8, and an auto trans. All factory stock. No lift, I don't remember the ratio, but it had pretty high (highway gears), open diffs, 30 inch tires and it was part time four wheel drive with manual hubs. Considering how weakly set up / equipped it was, it actually did pretty good off road. I was living in California at that time and I thrashed that truck all over Southern California. From Anza Borrego to Death Valley and plenty of other places, too. It never failed to go where I pointed it and it never crapped out or left me in a lurch. That Ram Charger gave lots of fond memories. My current 4X4 is a lot more capable and I love it but, I really had a lot of fun in the Ram Charger.

[@roadsidemanners]

Chuck Norris drove a Ram Charger, that’s good enough for me!

[@digitalcamera3237]

very interested to see how the dodge progresses! always love watching your trail videos!

[@AllenSpeck]

Just want you to know I am a huge first gen Dodge fan. I am so excited for your videos with this old Ram Charger. So cool to see. Love the videos, keep them coming.

Brrrr.. Cold. Great vid👍👍 Lake Havasu 🌞Az

[@sigmanoir]

That was killer, wow, what a lot of fun you have out there. I think the Ram is such a neat vehicle and I cannot wait to see what you are going to do with it. I love the scenery and the drone footage, insanly beautiful out there!!

[@jeffstansell9546]

What a refreshing pace of some rides thru SH’s West Rim! This is a way to see how it handles some trails before you make some upgrades to it! It’s going to be a fun project! Love the drone filming to show the beauty of SH! Makes me miss that area! Sure counting the days to get back out & pay a visit to your shop!

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Thanks for the feedback on the video and we look forward to your visit 😁👍🏻👍🏻

[@psg6314]

I thought the electric truck would get stuck first great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and happy holidays and stay safe

[@marklar7551]

EVs have better power delivery is some applications. Run that thing through the dunes every day for a month and see what happens to it is my question. Let's see how it does deep fording some water a few times on a trail also, because I know they are built to handle water but I just want to know how much. Basically, I have seen ICE vehicles fail so I want it sent to a Myth Busters type of extreme fail 😊👽

[@lonhoschar1943]

Great video Hollie!! That was something different. There is so much difference between the terrain that the Ram will handle compared to what the MM will handle!! The Ram is still a very cool old 4 wheeler!!

[@oneshotpete6.591]

I’ve always liked those ol Ram Chargers , dreamed of one swapped with a 12v 5.9 cummins , on 1 tons & 37” muds 🥰

[@triman95]

Wow, talk about a diverse trio!

[@ritchiehostetter8232]

Hopefully you build this dodge. You will love e. Grew up with one and won't forget it. They are a fun ride. Big lift and tires and a good 440 or a built 360 you won't be disappointed. Love my dodge

[@frankbellemare88]

The ramcharger still look good imo its the best looking out of those 3

[@jeremywallace5961]

Agreed!

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Agree 💯😍

[@4wdtennessee459]

The reason I like it is all the above you said.

[@nwliving]

Those rims are awesome on the dodge. The 70s to 80 international scout made some rims that looked like that, but we're rubber centers inside a steel rim.

[@doug9418]

A lady I was dating had one of these, and I can't tell you how much fun we had in it. 🇺🇸

[@RDCM1008]

you bought one with a pos front axle controlled by vacuum. you get to throw away both front and rear axles. Hope for a 360 and make sure you do not get a lift that forces you to use the rear oem blocks. I like them. transfer case is good for now.

[@richardthomas1743]

Ur funny hollie I think if u was driving I don’t think would get stuck lol have a merry Christmas 🎄 this weekend!!!!

Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the crew at mischief, thanks for the vids.

Hollie Dear...great vid again. That furkid that was in the back of your new project RAM...who does he belong too? Cute furkid!! Have a great day today!! 😎

[@sethtriggs]

Looked like a fun day even though one of those climbs looked sooooooo sketchy! Everyone succeeded in the end!

[@ImAfraidBruce]

Love the old Ramcharger. I've had several old Dodge trucks the same body, and wheeled them. They're a great value for someone with some mechanical ability looking to get a 4wd. I've bought several for $500-600 that needed some basic work to get running again.

[@johnkramen5494]

i love it. it’s the ram head on the hood that makes it even more awesome. miss my ram charger

[@SeguroOffroad]

Haha rare indeed. You should see the ram head on my 2019

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Were you at the Home Depot in St. George yesterday? There was a dark blue 4th gen Ram with the same exact ram head mounted proudly on the hood. 😎

[@allover4309]

If Rivian is the future, I'll live in the past. Thanks.

[@marklar7551]

EVs lower the demand for gas to fill up your toys, but I don't think EVs belong on the trail just yet

[@jackschitt7783]

@@marklar7551 Why not? Their suspension is actually a bit stronger than a liquid fueled vehicle and they have plenty of power.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

The power is there for sure and the ability to have an independent motors controlling each corner of the vehicle opens up a lot of amazing capabilities from a traction and control stand point. The suspension leaves a lot to be desired, but then again very few people have actually pushed these vehicles past their limits - understandably…it’s not like spare parts availability is abundant. This thing really shines on the pavement, IMO. But they are way more capable than I originally imagined.

[@jackschitt7783]

​@@MischiefMakerTV I wasn't aware they had all-wheel independent drives. That's really cool! I don't mean to imply I think EV suspensions are better. They're heavier duty because they have to handle more weight.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

@@jackschitt7783 no worries! I knew what you meant 😊. I’m just so caught up on flex and suspension travel…I can’t go back to anything else. 😂

I drive a not so pretty 87 ramcharger as my daily driver here in upstate ny! I love it, if there are any pieces and parts you guys remove from this truck and are just gonna toss I would love to arrange to pay to have them shipped and toss you guys some money for em as well!! Much love guys and keep up the grade A content.

Older cars have character. If you want to be somebody, drive a new car. If you know who you are, drive an old car.

[@woodyfoster4295]

Good job guys

[@TheGraytOutdoors]

I owned one of these, an 87, blue and silver with a 318ci engine. It was an absolute pig but it had more personality than a bronco and a blazer rolled into one. Wish I had never sold it. Be nice to it, they’re getting really hard to find.

[@wyocoyotewyocoyote9007]

Wish the Riv's approach and making it apparently easily in that squeeze spot's vid had been included. Very impressive, and looks like some stock tires not aired down. Somebody design him some lightweight runflat/beadlock carbon fiber(?)wheels to air down w/o pinch flatting. . Must be nice having no diffs for clearance, Clarence! looking fwd to an e hilux or 4runner with 1st second gen size, wheel base. Or a badass e or hybrid landcruiser.

[@johnrobinson4741]

Rivan, would liked to see if it could have hade thru the hole. Its pretty low.

[@jesseshelby4383]

Believe it or not I'd still take the ramcharger over the riv or the 392 jeep. I just love that old suv

[@chrischapman6872]

Love the body style and they r fun to have

[@darrenclark9647]

That's a pretty good base line for the ram charger

[@SADDLEHORN1A1]

For offroad I'll take the 36 gallon gas tank of the Ramcharger vs the 14 gallon Jeep and Neveready battery in the Rivian.

[@theeincredonle7141]

I have an 1981 dodge ramcharger just swapped engine from a 318 to beefed up 360 magnum with all the bells and whistles. Pushing about 500hp+ 750lbs of torque. It moves and just got a 6 inch lift ready to test my monster out like this.

[@chuckomgyahoo]

I only watched cause of that thumbnail.....HILARIOUS

[@richarda996]

When stock check out problems on foot and some momentum will help. Don’t just drive off in something expecting results. I had a vw sedan that did very well off-road.

[@longwalker3462]

Driving a stock 4-wheel drive, will make a true off roader out of you. No tricks, use your head and realize that it won't go where those tricked out crawlers go!

[@SeguroOffroad]

For sure. You will learn to your rig more, in factory form, than tricked out. You'll never learn your limitations and get into trouble.

They did. I just didn’t capture it on camera

[@Weidjeep]

Is this the same Rivian that TrailMater had to come rescue a month or so ago?

[@AFloridaSon]

MORR and Trailmater videos are filled with comments from people asking why anyone would take a stock vehicle into no man's land. Finally, here's at least one answer to that question. 😂

[@alexislaisney3404]

Zelensky has a multi million dollar mansion in Florida. Seize it.

[@javabeanz8549]

There are those that just don't know better, and those that are looking for a challenge. I have always had stock height vehicles, and taken them places most people would not think of trying. I have not been stuck very often, and like the Ram Charger, I have usually been high centered, or popped a bead, or even popped a tire ( manzanita stumps are hard on tires. )

[@boh348]

Put some farm hyd oil in the power steering and it will shut up. I have even run rotella t4 motor oil in them so they will not whine for many years.

[@jeremywallace5961]

Sounds like an old Dodge truck, I had an '86 pickup, this sure brings back some good memories.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

My Ramcharger is getting paint in a few weeks, and I'm deleting all the exterior trim. I'm giving my buddy a couple pieces for the passenger side of his, but if you want the driver's door molding, let me know. The aftermarket stuff on LMC is cheap rubber junk and doesn't match the OEM stuff.
