Is RAM still made by Chrysler?

No, RAM is no longer made by Chrysler. RAM is now a separate brand owned by Stellantis, the parent company formed by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA in 2021.


The History of RAM Trucks


RAM trucks were originally part of the Dodge brand, which was owned by Chrysler Corporation. In 2009, Chrysler reorganized its truck lineup and spun off the RAM brand as a separate division. This was done to give the RAM trucks a distinct identity and branding separate from Dodge's passenger vehicles.


After Chrysler's bankruptcy and acquisition by Fiat in 2009, the RAM brand continued to be developed and expanded as a standalone truck and commercial vehicle line. In 2021, when Fiat Chrysler Automobiles merged with Groupe PSA to form the new Stellantis conglomerate, RAM remained a distinct brand within the larger automotive group.


RAM Trucks Today


Today, RAM is one of Stellantis' core automotive brands, competing directly with Ford's F-Series and General Motors' Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra in the lucrative full-size pickup truck market. RAM offers a wide range of light-duty, heavy-duty, and commercial trucks, as well as vans and chassis cab models.


The current RAM lineup includes models such as the RAM 1500, RAM 2500, RAM 3500, RAM ProMaster, and RAM ProMaster City. These trucks are known for their capability, technology features, and premium interior designs, helping RAM establish itself as a premium truck brand distinct from its Dodge roots.


So in summary, while RAM trucks were once part of the Dodge brand under Chrysler Corporation, they are now a standalone brand owned by the Stellantis automotive group, no longer associated with the Chrysler name.
