Dodge Ram

The Ram (previously known as Dodge Ram) is a full-size pickup truck currently manufactured by Ram brand. Before 2009, Ram was part of the Dodge lineup of light trucks until it subsided into its own brand under Chrysler's management, specialized in light truck production for specific customer needs.

The name Ram was first used in 1981 on the redesigned Ram and Power Ram, though it came from the hood ornament used on 1930s and '40s Dodge vehicles. The truck is in its fourth generation as of the 2009 model year.
