Overview
Dodge built the Rampage at Belvidere, Illinois for the 1982 through 1984 model years, adapting the front of the Omni 024 coupe into a unibody coupe-utility pickup. Plymouth sold a version called the Scamp, including a Scamp GT, for 1983 only.
Every Rampage used the 2.2 L K-car four, rated between 84 and 99 hp, with a 4- or 5-speed manual or a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic. Despite its 2,293 lb curb weight it was rated for a 1,145 lb payload. The 1984 model got the Charger's front fascia. About 37,400 were built.
