Who Owns Ram​?

The Ram truck brand is owned by Stellantis NV, a global automaker. Stellantis was formed in 2021 through the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group, bringing brands like Ram, Dodge, Jeep, and Peugeot under one umbrella

Are Ram Trucks a Dodge?

No, a Ram truck is not a Dodge, as Ram became a separate, standalone brand in 2009 under the Stellantis umbrella. Originally part of the Dodge lineup, Ram was spun off by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (now Stellantis) to focus exclusively on trucks and commercial vehicles, allowing Dodge to concentrate on performance cars and SUVs.

Where are Ram Trucks Manufactured?​

Ram 1500: Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan

Ram 2500, 3500, 4500 & 5500: Saltillo Truck Assembly Plant in Mexico

Ram trucks are manufactured in the United States and Mexico, with specific plants dedicated to different models. The Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan produces the Ram 1500 light-duty trucks, while the Saltillo Truck Assembly Plant in Mexico builds heavier-duty models such as the Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500.

Does Ram Only Make Trucks​?

No, Ram does not only make trucks; it specializes in trucks and commercial vans. While the brand is best known for its rugged and capable pickup trucks like the Ram 1500 and 2500, Ram also produces commercial vehicles such as the ProMaster van, designed for business and utility needs.

What is a Tradesman Ram Truck​?

A Ram Tradesman is the base or entry-level trim of a Ram truck, such as the Ram 1500 or 2500, designed as a rugged and functional work vehicle for professionals and heavy-duty tasks. It prioritizes capability and durability with features like robust engines and towing capacity, while forgoing luxury amenities found in higher trims like the Laramie or Limited. This trim is ideal for those needing a reliable, no-frills truck for demanding jobs.
