i snapped this pic yesterday. it appears to be a newer ram charger. i looked this up on Wikipedia.
pretty cool info. didn't know these existed. and only in 2wd

In 1999, a new Ramcharger was produced in Mexico based on the second generation Ram pickup and using parts from the Dodge Ram pickups and other Chrysler vehicles. Sold only in Mexico, where the previous generation Ramcharger had been quite successful, it was not offered in the U.S. Because of this and other issues, this generation never enjoyed the sales of the previous generations of Ramchargers. Powered by the 5.9 and 5.2 Liter (360 CID and 318 CID) Magnum V8 and offered only in 2WD versions, it was discontinued around 2002. One of the most interesting features of this generation was a small folding seat in the cargo area, facing sideways, not a full-sized seat, making it uncomfortable for long trips. The rear hatch door was borrowed from 1996–2000 model Dodge Caravan. The Mexican-market Ramcharger was probably not marketed in the U.S.because the SUV market was favoring 4 or 5-door SUVs as opposed to 2-doors. Also, DaimlerChrysler already had two successful mid-sized SUVs (Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango).

That's cool! Too bad no 4wd. I used to have a 1990 Ramcharger.

Mexican made. I believe they stopped making them in 2002.

I like the looks.  It would make for a very unusual and different vehicle to display at a local car show for sure.  However, it might be wise to checkout the vehicle completely to ensure that nothing "illegal" found its way into the spare tire or behind the door panels, etc.....
