Where is the Dodge Ram manufactured?
The Dodge Ram pickup—now sold as Ram Trucks under Stellantis—has its manufacturing footprint anchored in North America. Today, Ram Trucks builds its pickups primarily in the United States and Mexico.
The manufacturing footprint in North America
Two primary production sites have long been associated with Ram pickup assembly. The following list highlights the main facilities that have produced Ram trucks in recent years, reflecting where current or recent models are assembled.
- Warren Truck Assembly, Warren, Michigan, United States
- Saltillo Assembly Plant, Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico
Notes: Ram production has involved additional Stellantis facilities in the region for certain models and production shifts, but Warren and Saltillo have been the most consistently associated with Ram pickups in recent decades.
Historical context
Ram pickups have a long manufacturing history centered in North America. Over time, production has shifted among a handful of plants within the Stellantis network to reflect changes in demand, model redesigns, and regional supply chains. The current footprint emphasizes U.S. and Mexican production as part of a broader cross-border manufacturing strategy.
Implications for jobs and regional manufacturing
North American production supports thousands of jobs and a wide network of suppliers in the region. The location of Ram assembly sites influences local economies and the broader auto industry’s cross-border supply chains, a trend that has shaped the brand’s manufacturing decisions in recent years.
Summary: Ram pickup production is concentrated in North America, with Warren, Michigan and Saltillo, Mexico as the principal sites in the current manufacturing network, reflecting Stellantis’ regional approach to assembling its pickups.
