What is a Dodge BR1500?

1X83Z · Jun 7, 2003

On the list of the most-stolen cars in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana (my home parish), the Dodge BR1500 4x2 is number one. I've never heard of such a vehicle, and Google images returns only one result - a Ford Econoline.

So what is it? And how can it be most stolen if I've never heard of it?

my guess is that its a dodge ram

Joey D · Jun 7, 2003

well its most likely the Ram since it talks about a 1500 or it could be the lighter end cargo van.

I was thinking that too, but why would it be called a 'Dodge BR1500?' Makes no sense.

Joey D · Jun 7, 2003

could be the older ram?

The Van has, but Dodge made one pickup until the last-generation Ram from what I can tell.

That's so called a Ramcharger. You're leagues more correct than I am though.

A ram charger? That was a SUV thing that had a Ram front end I thought.

I think the pickup used the same name. It used many of the same parts. Let me check.

'88 Ramcharger 4wd.

They also called it the 'Power Ram' evidently.

searched on google and it is a dodge ram panel van from the late ninties.

Joey D · Jun 8, 2003

alright now I know a little more about Dodge Truck

Frustrated Palm · Jun 10, 2003

Some obvious things but I want to post them to clear things up.
Alright, I think we are on the third gen Ram ATM.
Dodge made (and still makes) two trucks. Dodge Ram and Dodge Dakota.
The Ramcharger has two versions (as shown above).

Anyone driven (or was drivin in) a Dodge Ram Offroadster? Looked really nice
