Dodge Ram

## Mexico 
Unencumbered by CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) restrictions, DaimlerChrysler's Mexican subsidiary developed a three-door SUV version of the Ram, called the Ramcharger as was its predecessor. It debuted in 1998, but was never available in the United States.

There were also medium-duty Ram trucks that were only manufactured and marketed in Mexico. Built in the Saltillo Plant from 1994 until 1998, the medium-duty Dodge Ram 6500 and 7000 had a grille almost twice as tall as the original, and sizable filler plates beneath the headlights to accommodate the much taller chassis and engine. The Dodge Ram 6500/7000 chassis cab was offered in both Regular Cab and Crew Cab configurations. The Regular Cab seats up to three passengers, continuing the long lineage of 2-door medium-duty enclosed cab trucks, including models such as the Hansen Horse Drawn Freight Wagon, 1914-1918 Foden Wagon 4 n.h.p. 5 ton Steam Lorry, Brockway T 2-Door Regular Enclosed Cab Truck (1920-1924), 1925 Brockway Model K2 1/2 to 3 Ton 2-Door Regular Enclosed Cab Truck, 1926 Brockway Model R 3 1/2-4 Ton 2-Door Regular Enclosed Cab Truck, 1927-1929 Mack Model BJ 2-Door All-Steel Enclosed Cab Dual Chassis Truck, 1930-1931 Mack Model BG 2-Door All-Steel Enclosed Cab Dual Chassis Truck, 1932 Dodge 1½-Ton Enclosed Cab Dual Chassis Truck (F-30), 1933 Dodge Brothers 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1934 Dodge Brothers 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1935 Dodge Brothers 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1936 Dodge 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1937 Dodge 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1938 Dodge 1.5 Ton 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1939 Dodge T-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1940 Dodge V-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1941-1947 Dodge W-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1948-1950 Dodge B-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1951 Dodge B-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1952 Dodge B-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1953 Dodge B-Series Medium-Duty 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1954 Dodge C Series *Job-Rated Medium Duty* 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1955 Dodge C-Series *Job-Rated Medium Duty* 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1956 Dodge C Series *Job-Rated Medium Duty* 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1957 Dodge C Series *Job-Rated Medium Duty* 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1958 Dodge D-700 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1959 Dodge D-700 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1960 Dodge D-700 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1961–1964 Dodge D-600 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1965–1967 Dodge D-600 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1968–1971 Dodge D-600 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, 1972–1978 Dodge D-600 2-Door Regular Cab Truck, and DeSoto PD 700 AS 2-door standard cab truck, while the Crew Cab offers two rows of seating and can accommodate up to six.
