Explaining the Dodge RAM Brand
Dodge RAM is a line of full-size and mid-size pickup trucks that has been produced by Dodge (and later Stellantis) since the 1981 model year. The RAM brand was originally part of the Dodge lineup, but in 2010 it was separated into its own distinct brand within the Chrysler (now Stellantis) corporate structure.
The Dodge RAM trucks have been a popular and successful line of vehicles, competing directly with Ford's F-Series and other major pickup truck models in the North American market. However, Dodge RAM has always been its own brand, separate from Ford or any other automaker.
