The
Ram pickup (formerly the
Dodge Ram pickup) is a full-size
pickup truck manufactured by
FCA US LLC (formerly Chrysler Group LLC). As of 2010, it has been sold under the
Ram Trucks brand. Previously, Ram was part of the
Dodge lineup of light trucks. The name
Ram was first used in 1981 on the redesigned Ram and Power Ram following the retiring and rebadging of the
Dodge D Series pickup trucks as well as B-series vans. The truck is named for the Ram hood ornament that first appeared on Dodge vehicles in 1933. The Ram Truck is in its fourth generation as of the 2009 model year.
