I found this pic at oreillyauto



Looks like a ram front clip, front doors, cab lights + a newer style suburban back half?

I'd be sweet with a cummins in it, looks like gasser badges on the door though

 

not into suv's, that's why I have a truck

 

I remember reading an article in car and driver maybe? 10-12 years ago about this. i think its cool. dodge's full size durango to compete with the suburban.

 

They used to sell these in 2-door in Mexico but never saw a 4-door.

 

front clip looks like a ram, rest of it like a chevy burban. I'd rock it for a while.

 

I guess I don't see as much of a similarity to a suburban as the rest of you, maybe in the windows? But it would be hard to get away from that look no matter what. There is still the very distinctive dodge ram flare over the rear wheel, looks like a dodge truck that got converted to an SUV :P.

 

one word folks-PHOTOSHOP!!

 

no no, they made it. or at least one. I read about it in a magazine.

 

It was a prototype that Dodge was supposed to build. I believe it was Car and Driver that did an article on it. There is another thread on it here on the forum with the article. I believe they made a few of them, but it never went into production. Too bad to, with three kids I would take that over my Yukon XL in a heartbeat!

 

There was an aftermarket version built from a ram truck too.

 

would be neat 4x4 with a CTD. make it into a 800hp manvan . . I would drive the heck out of it.

 

That would be nice, I always wish Dodge would have come out with something to compete with the Excursion.

 

It was made. And it is all Dodge, no suburban parts. I saw a white one in Eastern WA about 6 years ago at a gas station and checked it out. They were made for some arabian prince and sent over there. The guy said they were about $80,000 each and whomever made them went out of business becasue the sheetmetal work was insanely expensive. Its a California product.

The interior was pre 98.5 but nicely done on the one I saw. The same Company used to make the Ford Suburban which was easier because they grafted a Bronco back end onto an F-350 Crew Cab. There used to be one around here but it was a gasser, nice though.

Ford now offers the Expedition XL which is a match for the Suburban. I don't know why Dodge never did this.

A first gen crew cab with a Ramcharger rear must be out there somewhere, wouldn't you think?

Centurion made the (or some of the) Ford conversions.

 

Yes, Beast, the Ford conversions I have seen were all Centurions and nicely done.

I have also seen a 2nd gen Crew/Quad cab in Eastern Wa around Ephrata. It was white and had four doors and the quad extension with a long bed and dual rears. Anyone else ever see this? It was about 7-8 years ago when I did.
