About the Ram Truck Company

There is some confusion among consumers about whether or not the Ram truck company is the same as the Dodge Ram truck company. This is largely because Dodge manufactured the original Ram vehicles including the first Dodge Ram pickup, the Dodge Ramcharger SUV and the Dodge Ram Van. The histories of Dodge and Ram both together and separate are integral to the development of the multi-award-winning modern Ram 1500 and other excellent Ram trucks sold today.

Dodge initially began in 1900 as the Dodge Brothers Company, which started manufacturing trucks in 1914. Chrysler bought the Dodge Brothers Company in 1928 but allowed Dodge to maintain its original name and brand. The first of the Dodge Ram models as listed above was released in 1981. In 2009 the Chrysler Group made a decision to divide Dodge and Ram into two separate companies. The decision was made to increase the performance and quality of every vehicle the company made. Today Dodge manufactures excellent quality muscle cars and sedans, while Ram focuses all its efforts on superb quality trucks. The split was a huge success culminating in the 2020 Ram 1500 being included in the Car and Driver’s 10Best list and reviewed as being similar to Cadillac in its quality, features and performance capabilities.
