The Chrysler Fargo Sweptline is a heavy truck made by Chrysler.
Fargo was a truck brand within the Chrysler group, under which commercial vehicles were offered mainly in Canada and on export markets. The term Sweptline refers to the body shape: the sides of the cargo bed run in one continuous line into the cab instead of sitting, as on older models, as boxes fitted on behind the cab. This gave the pickup a smooth, modern look and shaped the styling of several pickups of the period.

Chrysler was founded in 1925 in Detroit/Highland Park and has belonged to Stellantis since the 2021 merger. This page gathers commercial vehicles and heavy pickups outside the named series: the Fargo Sweptline, a sister model to Dodge pickups sold under the export brand Fargo, and versions of the RAM 3500, which has traded as the standalone Ram Trucks brand since 2010 but is listed here under Chrysler. Fargo served Chrysler for decades as its commercial-vehicle brand in markets outside North America where the Dodge name was not used.

The register lists six versions with 3,510 to 6,690 cc of displacement across six to eight cylinders, kerb weights from 2,720 to 4,920 kg and gross vehicle weights from 3,600 to 6,000 kg; lengths range from 6,280 to 8,590 mm at a width of 1,880 to 2,520 mm, and one version is recorded at 183 kW.
With the Fargo programme and later the RAM models, Chrysler covered the light- to medium-duty commercial segment, competing with Ford and General Motors both on export markets and in North America. The RAM line grew into the group's most important heavy pickup programme.
For a used purchase, the key checks are rust on the frame and load bed, the condition of automatic transmissions and axles on the heavier versions, and the brake system. Parts for the North American drivetrains are usually easy to source through the Dodge/Chrysler trade, while parts for the export Fargo versions are harder to find.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
