Is RAM owned by Fiat?
RAM is not owned by Fiat. It is a brand owned by Stellantis, the multinational automaker formed in 2021 by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group. Fiat remains a separate brand within Stellantis, but does not own RAM directly.
Context and what this means
RAM’s branding and ownership are tied to the corporate history of FCA and the subsequent Stellantis merger. The RAM brand was created to separate Ram trucks from Dodge’s passenger vehicles, and today RAM sits within Stellantis’ portfolio as its own brand focused on pickups and commercial vehicles.
Key milestones in RAM's ownership history
Below is a concise timeline to illustrate how RAM moved from being a Dodge model line to a standalone brand under the Stellantis umbrella.
- 2010: RAM becomes a standalone brand within FCA (the precursor to Stellantis), separating it from the Dodge badge for trucks.
- 2021: FCA merges with PSA Group to form Stellantis; RAM remains a flagship brand within the new corporate group.
- 2024-2025: RAM continues under Stellantis with ongoing model development and a North American-focused product strategy within the group's portfolio.
These milestones show that RAM's ownership resides with Stellantis, not Fiat as a standalone owner.
Implications for consumers and the market
For consumers, the corporate structure affects branding, dealer networks, and warranty coverage, but RAM vehicles are marketed and sold as a distinct product line within Stellantis, alongside other brands such as Fiat, Jeep, and Dodge.
Summary
RAM is a brand under Stellantis, the parent company formed from the merger of FCA and PSA. Fiat is a separate brand under the same corporate umbrella but does not own RAM directly. RAM remains Stellantis’ dedicated pickup and commercial-vehicle brand.
