antp ◊ 2011-05-18 18:10	I wonder how this one ended in Canada...
Mudflap ◊ 2011-05-18 19:43	4x4 military version. From the Dodge era.. @antp The same for the Bedfords too..
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2011-05-18 19:58	The British Army has a tank training area in Canada, so perhaps trucks from there are sold off locally when they're withdrawn. Anyway, the owners of this one say it's a Reynolds Boughton RB44: http://www.internationalmovie.com/images/Vehicles/2-Ton/info-RB44.html
chris40 ◊ 2011-05-18 20:06	It is a Reynolds Boughton RB44 (and not a Dodge or Renault). Reynolds Boughton have a history of producing 4x4s for the military and fire services and buying cabs in; a previous version of the RB44 used the Ford A-series cab. Presumably they switched to the Dodge cab when the A-series was no longer available. -- Last edit: 2011-05-18 20:06:30

carcrasher88 ◊ 2011-05-20 15:52	Also, if you look at the connected Dodge 100 page (link at bottom of the page mentioned above), there's a picture that shows a 100 with both a Renault badge and a Dodge badge. So, these models were (in some markets) marketed under both brands at the same time. Further, in Mexico, there are a couple Hyundai models sold in Dodge dealers, but with the Hyundai badges still on them. http://www.dodge.com.mx/ For many years, in different markets, Dodge has sold other brand's models, without placing the Dodge name on them.
Sandie ◊ 2011-05-20 15:55	They were sold here as both as Renault bought Dodge Trucks in the mid eighties. This however, is a completely unrelated vehicle that puts the Renault 50 cab on a 4wd chassis. It is odd that a company named Reynolds built trucks with Renault cabs. Always amused me. -- Last edit: 2011-05-20 15:58:21

We have a few of these: /vehicles.php?make=Dodge-Renault&model= edit: Sandie was faster Funny indeed, I did not think about that, Reynolds<>Renault -- Last edit: 2011-05-20 16:03:38
chris40 ◊ 2011-05-20 17:06	@Antoine: R-B kept the Renault lozenge on the grille (probably to keep costs down), but put their own badge on it: see their website: http://www.reynolds-boughton.com/military-gallery.asp . And the picture on Wikipedia shouldn't be there; the cab is the only Renault/Dodge-sourced part. Reynolds-Boughton make the chassis themselves, and the engine comes from Perkins.
antp ◊ 2011-05-20 18:45	Maybe it would be good that someone edits the article to mention the existence of Reynolds then (and change the legend of the picture)
