Who owns RAM trucks now?
RAM Trucks are owned by Stellantis, the multinational automaker formed in 2021 by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group. The RAM brand operates under Stellantis as a distinct truck and commercial-vehicle division.
Historically, RAM began as the truck division within Dodge and became a standalone marque in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Since the 2021 Stellantis merger, RAM remains a separate brand within Stellantis, managed through Stellantis’ North American operations with manufacturing conducted by FCA US LLC, a subsidiary of Stellantis.
Ownership timeline
Key milestones that clarify RAM's corporate ownership.
- 2009–2010: RAM is established as its own marque within Chrysler Group, separating RAM trucks from the Dodge passenger brand.
- 2014: Chrysler Group becomes FCA US LLC as the corporate structure shifts within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).
- 2021: FCA merges with PSA Group to form Stellantis; RAM becomes a brand under Stellantis, administered through Stellantis North America.
- Present: RAM continues as a Stellantis-brand focused on pickups (e.g., Ram 1500, 2500, 3500) and commercial vans (e.g., ProMaster) with manufacturing and sales through Stellantis’ North American networks.
Today, RAM is marketed and supported as a Stellantis brand, with the broader Stellantis portfolio guiding product strategy and global operations while RAM handles its truck- and van-focused lineup.
