Dodge RAM vs. Dodge and RAM

While it may surprise you, Dodge RAM trucks have not been produced since 2008! Dodge and RAM formally separated into their own respective divisions in 2009. So why did Dodge and RAM split up exactly? While both are still produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Group (FCA), they split up so both branches can focus on their respective traits. So is RAM Dodge? While they are produced by the same parent company, RAM and Dodge are now separate brands.

Dodge still produces passenger vehicles with deeply rooted performance heritage. Models like the Charger and Challenger are produced under the Dodge brand due to their performance purposes. Likewise, RAM produces vehicles that have their own focus–in their case, capability and commercial purposes. Vehicles like the RAM 1500 (formerly known as the Dodge RAM 1500), and the RAM ProMaster are built by RAM, as they fit the RAM niche.

FCA also produces a variety of vehicles from other manufacturers, including Jeep, Chrysler, and Fiat. At Ray Brandt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, you can find models from all across the FCA family, so you’re sure to find the exact model you need to suit your lifestyle and budget.
