Ram Pickup

The Ram pickup (formerly the Dodge Ram pickup) is a full-size pickup truck
manufactured by FCA US LLC (formerly Chrysler Group LLC) and marketed as of 2011
(Dodge) Ram pickup
onwards under the Ram Trucks brand. The current fifth-generation Ram debuted at the
2018 North American International Auto Showin Detroit, Michigan.

Previously, Ram was part of the Dodge line of light trucks. The name Ram was first used
in 1932–1954 Dodge Trucks, then returned on the redesigned 1981 Ram and Power Ram,
following the retiring and rebadging of the Dodge D Series pickup trucks as well as B-
series vans.

Ram trucks have been named Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year six times; the
second-generation Ram won the award in 1994, the third-generation Ram Heavy Duty
2019 Ram 1500, Crew Cab, Limited
won the award in 2003, the fourth-generation Ram Heavy Duty won in 2010 and the

First generation (1981–1993; D/W)


The first-generation Ram trucks and vans introduced in 1981 featured a Ram hood
ornament first used on Dodge vehicles from 1932 to 1954.[1] Not all of the first-
First generation
generation trucks have this ornament and is most commonly seen on four-wheel-drive
models. Dodge kept the previous generation's model designations: "D" or Ram indicated
two-wheel drive while "W" or Power Ram indicated four-wheel drive. Just like Ford,
Dodge used 150 to indicate a half-ton truck, 250 for a three-quarter
-ton truck, and 350 for
a one-ton truck. The truck models were offered in standard cab, "Club" extended cab, and
crew cab configurations. They also were offered along with 6.5 ft (2.0 m) and 8 ft (2.4 m)
bed lengths and "Utiline" and "Sweptline" styled boxes along with standard boxes.
Externally, the first-generation Rams were facelifted versions of the previous generation

were no rear doors for this configuration.

These trucks, though popular with fleets, sold poorly compared to the Ford F-Series and the General Motors C/K Trucks, with just under 100,000
units sold most years of their production. Part of this was due to the dated cab and chassis design which had been in production since 1972, there
was no powerful diesel option until 1989, and there was no big-block gas V8 option. Additionally, the interior had been given few updates since
1981.

Engines & transmissions


For 1989, the 5.9 L V8 received throttle-body fuel injection for a 20 hp (15 kW) gain. Additionally, Dodge introduced a new overdrive automatic
transmission for reduced fuel consumption. This light-duty transmission was designated the A500, and was offered with the 3.9 L V6 and 5.2 L V8.
An "O/D Off" pushbutton switch to lock out the overdrive 4th gear was added to the message center. The A727 automatic saw continued use for
some 5.2 L engines, all 5.9 L engines, and heavy-duty applications.

The grille was redesigned for 1991 but kept the large rectangular headlamps and crossbar appearance. The engines were substantially upgraded for
1992 (3.9 L and 5.2 L) 1993 and 1994 (5.9 L) with multi-port fuel injection, new manifolds, and higher-compression cylinder heads for noticeably
higher output. These newly-revised engines were marketed under the "Magnum" name. A heavy-duty automatic transmission with overdrive called
the A518 was offered with the 5.2 L and 5.9 L engines. As part of Chrysler's overhaul of corporate transmission nomenclature, the A500 and A518
were redesignated 42RH and 46RH, respectively, in 1992. The initial "4" signified a 4-speed transmission, the second digit identified the
transmission's relative torque capacity, the letter "R" in the third position denoted a rear-wheel-drive transmission, and the final letter "H" signified
hydraulic shift control. The 3-speed automatic remained available; the A727 was redesignated 36RH, and the A904, A998, and A999 became the
30RH, 31RH, and 32RH, respectively.
5.9 Cummins
A Cummins B Series engine was also added to the engine lineup in 1989.[3] For the first time,
Dodge saw sales increase. The Cummins was coupled with a heavier-duty version of the A727
automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission and is available on 250 and 350 pickups and pickup-
based chassis-cab trucks. This diesel engine option was different from the optional diesels in Ford
and GM trucks. The Cummins features direct injection, whereas the Ford and GM diesels feature
indirect injection; this also means that the Cummins does not have to rely on glowplugs. The
Cummins is a straight-six engine, whereas the GM and Ford diesel engines are V8 engines. 1993 W250 Club Cab
Additionally, the Cummins is turbocharged, while the 6.2 L GM/DDC and 7.3 IDI Ford/IH are
naturally aspirated.[3]

Pre-1994 Cummins-engined Dodge pickups are often termed a "First-Gen Cummins".

This was not the first engine to appear in Dodge pickup trucks as a diesel option. The 1978 and 1979 D-Series models were available with a

Mitsubishi naturally-aspirated diesel, but it was seldom ordered.

In the middle of 1991, Dodge started using 350 frames in Ram 250 diesels, club cabs and crew cabs.

Prospector - Prospector was a package available throughout the 1980s that usually included a dif ferent fuel tank, cloth seat and
carpeting. In the late 80s, a light package as well as the large 6x9 mirrors were added to the list of options. This trim package was
carried on until the redesign in 1994.

Second generation (1994–2001/2002; BR/BE)


The second-generation Ram began development in 1986. The original concept, dubbed
the "Louisville Slugger" by Chrysler's Advanced Packaging Studio, was to be a modular

platform that would accommodate a full-size truck and full-size van, which would have
provided a roomy cab and cargo bed.[5] The modular design was scrapped in 1987 and
was replaced with a more conventional truck design when the design was moved to the
AMC design studio.[5] The more conventional design, dubbed "Phoenix", was originally
scheduled for a 1991 production; when Bob Lutz showed it to the new styling designers,
chief designer Phillip E. Payne told him, "It looks like nothing more than a rehash of
everybody else's truck." At that, Lutz told him he had six months to come up with
something better.[6] The exterior styling of the truck that was eventually released was the
result of design concepts by Payne during 1988-1990. A review by the Dodge pick-up
truck studio designers felt that modern pick-ups looked "too flat and sedan-like", while
the early 50's Studebaker pick-up and the semi-trailer trucks had just the right "macho" Ram 1500 Extended Cab
look to them.[7] The design featured a big-rig-looking front end and a large grille that Overview
was deemed risky at its introduction, but ultimately proved popular with [8]
consumers.
Production July 1993-2001 (Ram 1500)
The redesigned 1994 Ram was a sales success and was named "Truck of the Year" by 1994–2002 (Ram 2500 and
Motor Trend in 1994.[8] Sales increased from 95,542 units in 1993 to 232,092 in 1994, 3500)

years were subject to problems within the water jackets and fuel injectors. The most
problematic was the "53" stamped engine block which had a defect that would cause fracturing in the structure of the block itself. The 2000 models
became optional with heated leather seats. The braking system was upgraded to dual-piston calipers in the front. An Offroad Edition was offered as
a package with a 2-inch lift accomplished with stiffer front springs and rear lift blocks, unique 17x8 wheels, 275/70/17 all terrain tires, 4.10 gears,
trussed Dana 44 in the front, limited slip differential, and skid plates.[11] The Offroad Edition models are also distinguishable with an additional
decal on the tailgate under the 4x4 decal that says "Of
froad."

Although Dodge introduced a new Ram 1500 for 2002, the old second-generation style Ram was carried over for the 2002 model year heavy-duty
2500 and 3500 trucks. The new third-generation Ram would not appear in the 2500/3500 variants until 2003. Part of this delay was due to the then
new 5.7 L Hemi engine not being ready for production.

Mexico
Unencumbered by CAFE (Corporate average fuel economy) restrictions, DaimlerChrysler's Mexican subsidiary developed a three-door wagon
version of the Ram, called theRam Charger as was its predecessor. It first appeared in 1998 but was never available in the United States.[12]

A518/46RH-RE for more heavy duty applications found behind the 5.2 L and 5.9 L V8 engines.
A618/47RH-RE for heavy duty use behind the V10 gasoline and Cummins diesel engines. The 47RH was used in 1994 and 1995
model years, while the 47RE was used from 1996 through 2002.
NV3500 was offered in 1500 Rams and light-duty 2500 Rams. NV4500 was standard in 2500 and 3500 trucks; the NV4500HD for V10 and diesel
models (except the uncommon, light-duty 2500 rams). A NV5600 was offered in 1999 and 2000 Rams and was the only transmission offered behind
the High Output diesel in 2001 and 2002.

Transfer cases
There was a total of five transfer cases available for the four-wheel-drive Ram. All are part-time and have a low range of 2.72:1. The 1500 featured
a NP231 and NP231HD. The NP241 was standard on V8 2500 Rams. The 2500 and 3500 V10 and diesel featured a NP241DLD from 1993 to 1997.
In 1997 the NP241DHD became an option for 2500 Rams and was standard on 3500 Rams from 1998 to 2002.

Axles
The Dodge Ram features a wide variety of axles. For the front axle of 4x4 Rams, a Dana 44 was used on all 1500 Rams and the early (light-duty)
2500 Rams. However, most of the 2500 and all 3500 Rams use Dana 60 front axles. The 1500 Rams and some early light duty 2500 Rams used a
9.25 Chrysler (Spicer) axle in the rear. A Dana 60 rear axle was used on heavy duty 2500 V8 Rams. A Dana 70 rear axle was used in 2500 Rams
with a V10 or a Diesel/Automatic transmission combination. A Dana 80 rear axle was used on 2500 Rams with a manual transmission and
V10/diesel engine combination. Every 3500 Ram was made with a Dana 80. The front drive axles in these Rams were unique in the fact they did
not have locking hubs, but featured a center axle disconnect. The 2002 2500 and 3500 Rams saw the eventual phase out of the Center axle
disconnect, in favor of front axles that were permanently locked in. Dodge continued to include front axles like this for their 2500, 3500, 4500, and
5500 trucks until 2013 models.

Engines
A natural-gas-powered engine debuted for 1995 but was not popular and was only used in fleet vehicles on a very limited production run. The
Cummins B Series engine was switched from the 12-valve to the 24-valve (ISB) version in the middle of the 1998 model-year Dodge Rams due to
emissions regulations. The ISB featured a new computer
-controlled injection pump, 24-valve head design, and an electronic injection pump.

rated 10 horsepower higher than the standard engine.
Off-Road Edition - The Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Off-Road "Edition" (package)[15] was available in the latter portion of the second
generation. It included 17" alloy wheels (1 inch larger than the standard 16"), added 4X4 transfer case skid plate, 4.10 rear axle

Third generation (2002–2008/2009; DR/DH/D1/DC/DM)


In development from 1996 (styling by Cliff Wilkins finalized in 1998), the third-
generation Ram was unveiled on February 7, 2001 at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show,[17]
Third generation
and debuted for 2002 model year on 1500 models and 2003 on 2500 and 3500 models.
This was a major update including an all new frame, suspension, powertrains, interiors,
and sheet metal. The crew cab models for this generation were actually Quad Cab trucks
that had conventional-opening rear doors. The four-wheel-drive light trucks (1500 series)
lost their live axles in favor of an independent front suspension, but the 2500 and 3500
series retained the live axles for maximum longevity and durability. This body style drew
heavily from the previous generation.

The redesigned trucks bolstered sales, with 400,000 sold during 2001-2002 and nearly
450,000 sold during 2002-2003, a new high point for the Ram name. At the same time, Ram 1500 Regular Cab
both Ford and GM trucks were increasing in sales from a 2001 peak over 850,000 to the Overview
900,000 range. But with 400,543 Rams sold that year, the Ram's sales could not keep up

Models built after January 1, 2007 offered a new 6.7 L Cummins turbo diesel introduced as an option in 2500/3500 models replacing the 5.9 L. It
produced 350 hp (261 kW) and 650 lb⋅ft (881 N⋅m). Unlike the 5.9 L which was backed by the 4-speed48RE Transmission, the 6.7 L was equipped
with the new 6-speed 68RFE transmission.

2005 was the last year for the first version of the 5.7 L (345 cu in) Hemi V8. 2006 half-ton models fered
of the Multi-Displacement SystemHemi V8
engine that also became available in Chrysler and Dodge sedans. This engine featured the same performance but had a cylinder-deactivating feature
enabled under light loads to increase fuel economy by 3 MPG city and 4 MPG hwy. This new Hemi still delivered 345 hp (257 kW) and 375 lb⋅ft
(508 N⋅m).

Axles
For the 2003 model year, AAM axles replaced the Dana Corp axles. In the front all 2500 and 3500 trucks were 9.25-inch with 33 spline axles. The
rear options for the 2500 and 3500 were the AAM (often referred to as "corporate") 10.5" and 11.5". Rear axle shafts are 30 spline. The rear 11.5"
has a gear ratio "carrier split" at 3.73 and numerically higher, but the General Motors AAM axles used a different carrier spacing preventing
installation of a Chrysler carrier into some GM axles, but the GM carrier can be installed in the Chrysler axle if a ring gear spacer is installed.
Strength is similar to their earlier Dana 70 and 80 counterparts. Direct comparisons are difficult as the axles are made with completely different
metallurgy.

Special editions
HemiSport - The HemiSport Edition was the Quad Cab version of the Rumble Bee, and was introduced in 2004. It was available
in black, red, or silver, and with either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. It was equipped similarly to the Rumble Bee, but
without the number plaque. The HemiSport was discontinued for 2006.
Dodge Ram VTS Concept- This concept from Dodge was meant to be a design study highly inspired by iper V GTS-inspired
bumpers, mirrors, 17-inch wheels, Blue Paint, dual white stripes and iper V GTS sourced 415 bhp V10. VTS was vital in the
development of 500 bhp Ram SRT-10 that were built from 2004 to 2006.[19]

Dodge Ram SRT 10 - This is a regular or quad-cab body with theDodge Viper's V10
engine 8.3L, 22" wheels and Pirelli tires, lowered suspension, bucket seats, body
modifications, and a spoiler. The 2004 version was available only in a single cab with a
6-speed manual transmission and a Hurst shifter. For 2005, Dodge released a Quad Cab
version of the Viper-V10-powered truck with amodified 48RE four-speed automatic
transmission from the Ram with the Cummins turbodiesel engine. In 2004, the truck held
the Guinness World Record for "World's Fastest Production Pickup Truck" with a speed
of 154.587 mph (247.3 km/h).[20] This record stood until overtaken by the AustralianHSV 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 Crew
[21]
Maloo R8, a sport utility coupe, in May 2006. SRT-10 production ended on June 30, cab
2006.
Power Wagon - This model, introduced for 2005, is an off-road focused version of the
Ram. The name is drawn from Dodge's line of 4-wheel-drive trucks made from the early 1940s through the 1980s. It comes with
the 5.7 L (345 cu in) Hemi engine,(changed to the 6.4L hemi model year 2014 to present) electronic locking dif ferentials,
electronic disconnecting front sway bar, 285/70R17 off-road tires mounted on power wagon specific 17" wheels with dual safety
beads, factory lift springs with power wagon specific spring rates, fender flares, full under body skid plates, "Poweragon"
W
nameplates instead of the standard Ram badging, and a 12,000 pound winch. [22] This truck was built on the 2500 platform.

Rumble Bee - The Rumble Bee package is a limited sport-truck version of the Ram.
It was available only on regular-cab/short-box pickups; however , some other versions
of the Ram were modified to look like Rumble Bees. It includes lower body cladding,
20" wheels, a hood scoop, and an SLT interior specially trimmed with yellow
dashboard and door panel inserts and a serialized number plate. On the rear of the
box is a stripe with a "Rumble Bee" emblem, similar to that of theSuper Bee. All
Rumble Bees are either black with "solar yellow" trim or yellow with black trim.
4,858
were produced in 2004, and 5,174 in 2005. 2005 Dodge Ram Rumble Bee
HemiGTX - The Hemi GTX package is a limited sport-truck version of the Ram.
Introduced in 2004 and only made in 2004 and 2005, these were customized by LA
West of Indiana as ordered from dealers, adding an additional $8,300.50 in sticker price. It was available on regular-cab/short-box
and quad-cab/short-box pickups and include a custom overall paint from Mopar's Impact colors from the 1970s (this includes
Hemi Orange, Plum Crazy Purple, Sublime Green, and Banana ellow). Y 20" American Racing Motto chrome wheels, a new cowl
"blacked-out" hood, and a specially trimmed leather 2-tone interior including a serialized number plate on the driver's-side
doorjamb were offered. On the sides is a "hockey-stick" stripe with "HEMI GTX" that extended from the hood to the rear of the
box. The air box was also painted to match the body color , and a color-matched steering wheel was added as well. They were
only 433 produced in 2004 and roughly the same number in 2005. A certificate of authenticity was given to all original owners.

Daytona - Introduced for 2005, the Ram Daytona was a new sport-truck edition of the Ram. It was available as a 5.7-liter Hemi
V8 in Regular or Quad-Cab styles and featured lower-body cladding, 20-inch chrome wheels, SR T-10 hood, Borla dual exhaust,
serialized number plate, and a tall rear spoiler reminiscent of the 1969Dodge Charger Daytona. The Daytonas had a black body
stripe to match the rear spoiler and came in silver or "Go Mango" paint (a metallic orange color reminiscent of the Dodge's "high
impact" colors from the 1960s and 1970s) with matching interior trim. The Dodge Ram Daytona had a 3.92 ratio rear end, the
same rear end as the Dodge Ram Rumble Bee. Several exterior items were unique to the Daytona package (such as the gas
door and dual side exit exhaust tips) which made it different from other equipment packages. It was equipped with 20-inch
(510 mm) chrome wheels and performance tires. Replacing the standard hood is one with a non-functional hood scoop. The most
noticeable feature is the largespoiler which is attached at the rear of the cargo box. The 11-inch (280 mm) spoiler lined up with
the flat black stripe that ran along the back of the bed side with the word 'Daytona' written in the middle. This spoiler is reminiscent
of the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona.
Contractor's Special hybrid- Dodge announced ahybrid version of the Ram,
dubbed the Contractor's Special, in 2003. However, the schedule for deliveryslipped
as Dodge backed away from the vehicle. The hybrid Ram was available only for fleet
purchasers (if at all) and did not enter mass production. It of
fered an AC electrical
outlet panel for running an entire job site worth of power tools, but the through-the-
road method of balancing the gas engine and electric motor reportedly did not work
as desired. Dodge has announced that it would use a hybrid transmission developed
jointly with General Motors and BMW.[23]
NightRunner - 2000 of these were assembled from January 2006 to December
2006. The Limited Edition NightRunner trim includes Brilliant Black Paint, 20-inch
(510 mm) black chrome wheels, Black chrome grill, the 5.7 L (345 cu in) Hemi 2005 Dodge Ram Daytona
engine, dark shaded headlamps, NightRunner graphics, and the NightRunner logo on
the speedometer and embroidered on the head rests on two tone seats, carbon look
dash.

Motorsport
The truck won the 2003 and 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Manufacturers' Championship. It also won the San Felipe 250 in 2008 and
2009.

Fourth generation (2009–2018/2019; DS/DJ/D2)


The fourth generation Dodge Ram was introduced at the 2008 North American
International Auto Show in Detroit.[28] This latest generation was sold as the 2009
Fourth generation
Dodge Ram 1500 starting in Fall 2008. The 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 models were
later added to the lineup. In 2010, theRam Trucks brand was separated fromDodge.

Chrysler LLC attempted to keep the Ram competitive in the market through various
developments for the 2009 model, including a new four-door cab style offering, new
suspension, a new hemi engine option, and the Rambox, a new storage system that allows
secure storage inside the truck's bed walls. Later models have the Rambox system tied in
with the remote keyless system[29]

3500
The 2013 models move up to an 18-inch standard wheel, with 18-inch forged Alcoa wheels as an
option. 3500 models offer a High Output package for the diesel. The rear differential ring gear is
increased from 11.5 inches, to 11.8 inches on H.O. trucks. The 11.8 axle cover doubles as a heat 2013 Ram 1500
sink.

4x4
Ram, once again, put the Center axle disconnect in 3500 4x4 models. 2500 Ram trucks did not
have a CAD system until 2014 models. Ram claims this technology to improve fuel efficiency by 1
MPG, although EPA tests do not include class 2 and class 3 trucks in the MPG/fuel efficiency tests.
The 4x4 saw additional changes with the transfer case now being made by BorgWarner instead of
New Venture Gear. 2013 Ram 1500

High Fuel Efficiency


A new model offered for the 2013 Ram is the HFE (High Fuel Efficiency). Based on the SLT model, the HFE offers 18/25 MPG out of its Pentastar
V6 engine and eight-speedTorque-Flite transmission, which has nothing in common with the original Chrysler built TorqueFlite. It is available only
in the six-foot bed, two-door, regular cab model with two-wheel-drive only. Standard features include a 220 amp alternator and an 800 amp battery
to assist with the Start-stop system. 3.21:1 axle gearing is also standard.

2014 changes
The option of air suspension became available on the rear of 2014 model year 2500 and 3500 pick
up trucks. 1500 models added the option of anEco-Diesel V6. 2500 models now feature coil spring
suspension, instead of leaf spring. The cast iron, flex fuel, 4.7 V8 Chrysler PowerTech engine was
discontinued, ending Corsair engine production, leaving the Ram 1500 with two engine choices.
The aluminum, flex fuel 3.6 V6 Pentastar is now the base engine, along with the 8-speed Torque-
Flite transmission. The 3.6 L Pentastar V6 was available on Laramie and Longhorn trims.[35] The
Ram heavy-duty series of trucks (2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500) received a new interior design and
revised exterior styling from the Ram 1500, which was restyled in 2013.

2016 changes
For 2016, the all-new Ram 1500 Rebel debuted, offering off-road suspension with a 1.0 inch
(2.5 cm) higher ride height, larger tires, and a unique interior to add to the Ram 1500Big Horn and
Lone Star trim levels. It features a unique blacked-out grille with powder coated front bumper and
exclusive aluminum hood, skid plates, and tow hooks.[36] It is available with either a 310 hp
(231 kW) and 269 lb⋅ft (365 N⋅m) 3.6 L Pentastar VVT FlexFuel-Capable V6 engine or a 395 hp
(295 kW) and 410 lb⋅ft (556 N⋅m) 5.7 L HEMI V8 engine.[37] Four-wheel drive is available with
either powertrain, but the two-wheel drive model is V8-only. The sole body configuration offered
is a crew cab with a short pickup bed.[36]
2016 Ram Rebel
SLT models of all Ram trucks now receive the U Connect 5.0BT (RA2) touch-screen radio as
standard equipment, adding steering wheel-mounted remote phone controls, Bluetooth hands-free
calling and wireless audio streaming, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, a USB port and 3.5 mm auxiliary input jack, Radio Data System (RDS), voice
control, in-radio vehicle customization, and a full-color five-inch LCD touch-screen display
. This was previously a $495.00 option on the RamSLT.

2017 changes
For 2017, the Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Limited trims received the new RAM front grille and "RAM" emblem across the rear tailgate that
debuted on the 2016 RAM 1500 Rebel.
In mid-2017, the RAM 1500's 3.0 L EcoDiesel V6 turbodiesel engine, produced by VM Motori, was dropped in mid-2017 in response to emissions
cheating allegations. The engine will be re-introduced in early 2018, as re-certification by the
EPA has been obtained.

The 1500 SLT model loses the U Connect ACCESS 8.4 infotainment system (RA3) option, leaving the U Connect 5.0BT (RA2) radio as the only
radio option. However. all Ram heavy-duty (2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500) SLT models will still offer the U Connect ACCESS 8.4 infotainment
system (RA3) as an option.

The Rebel trim level of the Ram 1500 gains the previously-optional U Connect ACCESS 8.4A infotainment system as standard equipment, as do
the Big Horn and Lone Star trim levels. A Rebel Black Edition Package is available that adds black accents to the Rebel.

The Laramie trim level of the Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 gets a standard nine-speaker, 506-watt Alpine 7.1-channel surround-sound
premium audio system as standard equipment.

Three new special edition trim levels debut for 2017 for the Ram 1500 model:

The Lone Star Silver Edition, available exclusively at Ram dealerships in Texas and based on the Texas-only Lone Star trimlevel,
adds additional chrome trim pieces to the trim level. It debuted at the 2016Texas State Fair.
The Lone Star Yellow Rose Edition, also available exclusively at Ram dealerships in T exas and also based on the Texas-only
Lone Star trim level, is available only in a model-exclusive Stinger ellow
Y Clear Coat exterior paint color. It debuted at the 2016
Texas State Fair.
The Night Edition, available at Ram dealerships nationwide, is based on the Sport trim level, and adds black-finished emblems,
twenty-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, front grille, door handles, and emblems to the model.
There is also a new Off-Road Package available for all Ram 2500 models (aside from the Power Wagon trim level, which includes the package as
standard equipment), and includes unique pickup bedside graphics, of
f-road suspension, front tow hooks, and the protection package.

The mid-level SLT trim level of the RAM 1500 is no longer available to retail customers, as it is now a lesser-equipped model reserved exclusively
for fleet customers. However, the SLT trim level still remains for the Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 models, and are still available to retail
customers. However, retail customers wanting SLT features such as chrome front and rear bumpers and front grille, seventeen-inch aluminum-alloy
wheels, power windows and door locks with keyless entry, the U Connect 5.0BT (RA2) touch-screen radio, cloth seating surfaces, SiriusXM
Satellite Radio, a rear-view backup camera system, and floor carpeting, can still opt for the Chrome Appearance and Popular Equipment Packages
on the Tradesman model.

For customers wanting a less expensive Bluetooth option for the Ram truck, a new U Connect 3.0BT (RA2) radio is available for an additional
$200.00, which includes an A/M-F/M radio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio tuner, Radio Data System (RDS), U Connect Bluetooth hands-free phone
system with audio streaming and voice command, steering wheel-mounted remote voice command controls, a USB port and 3.5 mm auxiliary audio
input jack, and a three-inch (3.0") monochrome LCD display screen. This radio option is available for the Tradesman trim level of all Ram trucks,
and the Express trim level of the Ram 1500, and is included as part of a Popular Equipment Package on the latter model. Previously, customers
wanting Bluetooth on a Ram Tradesman or Ram 1500 Express would have to upgrade to the U Connect 5.0BT (RA2) touch-screen radio, which
would add the same features as described above, as well as onscreen vehicle customization via the radio, and a full five-inch (5.0") color touch-
screen display, and cost an additional $495.00. In order to do this, the customer would also have to select the Popular Equipment Package on both
models.

The RAM 2500 Power Wagon returned with a 6.4 L HEMI gasoline V8 engine, a unique graphics package (delete option), black front grille, door
handles, larger tires and black aluminum-alloy wheels, and the Off-Road Package. The Power Wagon Package is also available for the Ram 2500
Tradesman trim level, and also adds the 6.4L HEMI gasoline V8 engine.

2018 changes
Changes to the Ram for 2018 included the addition of HD Radio to all U Connect 8.4 infotainment systems, as well as a new 4G LTE wireless hot-
spot provided by AT&T Wireless, an AT&T Wireless 4G LTE in-vehicle modem (both the AT&T Wireless 4G LTE modem and 4G LTE mobile hot-
spot replace the Sprint 3G CDMA modem and 3G CDMA mobile hot-spot offered on previous Ram models), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
smartphone integration for the U Connect 8.4 infotainment systems, and the SiriusXM Guardian service replacing the U Connect ACCESS service
offered on previous RAM models for the U Connect 8.4 infotainment systems. In addition, all U Connect 8.4 infotainment systems get a new User
Interface design for easier navigation of menus and applications.

The VM Motori-produced 3.0 L EcoDiesel V6 turbodiesel engine returned in early 2018 for the RAM 1500, as it has been re-certified by the EPA
after allegations of emissions cheating in 2017.
Most upper trim levels of the RAM 1500 (Sport, Rebel, Laramie Longhorn, and Limited) get the new RAM front grille introduced for 2016, as well
as a large 'RAM' emblem on the rear tailgate. Lower to mid trim levels of the RAM 1500 (Tradesman, Express, Big Horn, Lone Star, and Laramie)
retain the standard RAM "Cross-Hair" front grille.

The Night Edition and Lone Star Silver Edition trim levels were continued.

For 2018, there are two new special editions:

The Harvest Edition (also available on the Ram 2500 and 3500), are based on the Big Horn and Lone Star models.vailable A in
only four paint colors, two of which are unique to the Harvest Edition (Case IH Red, New Holland Blue, two-tone Black Clear Coat
and Bright Silver Metallic, or Bright White Clear Coat). Aimed at farmers, the Harvest Edition adds features that are otherwise
optional on the Big Horn and Lone Star, such as seventeen-inch chrome-clad aluminum-alloy wheels with all-terrain tires on 4X4
models, the U Connect 8.4 infotainment system with GPS navigation,SiriusXM Travel Link with five years of service included and
one year of SiriusXM Guardian service, a trailer tow package with integrated trailer brake control, rear-mounted tow hitch, and
trailer tow side mirrors. Also included are front bucket seats with power front driver's seat trimmed in premium cloth, chrome side
steps, chrome side mirror covers, chrome door handles, and chrome front tow hooks. It is available as either a Quad Cab or a
Crew Cab.
The Laramie Longhorn Southfork Edition Package, available on 1500, 2500, and 3500 Laramie Longhorn models, adds even
more luxury features to the already luxurious truck, such as unique twenty-inch polished aluminum-alloy wheels, unique real wood
interior trim, and a unique two-tone blue-and-beige interior color scheme.

2019 changes
For 2019, the current fourth-generation Ram 1500 will be sold alongside its successor, the fifth-generation Ram 1500. Virtually identical to 2018
models, 2019 trucks will be given a new name, Ram 1500 Classic, to distinguish them from their all-new fifth-generation successors. The Ram
1500 Classic will offer a 2-Door Regular Cab model, whereas the fifth-generation Ram 1500 will not. In addition, Quad and Crew Cab models are
also expected to be offered.[24]

In addition, the current-generation Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Ram 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab models will be redesigned for the 2019 model
year.[38]

Production
The Ram 1500, Ram Mega Cab, Ram 2500/3500, DX Chassis Cab (Mexico Market), Ram 4500/5500 are assembled at FCA's Saltillo Assembly
Plant in Coahuila, Mexico; the Ram 1500 (DT) is assembled at Sterling Heights Assembly (SHAP) in Sterling Heights, Michigan.[39] The Ram

Plug-in hybrid
A two-mode hybrid version was planned to begin production in 2010, but Chrysler decided to cancel it in favor of a smaller test fleet of 140 plug-in
hybrid (PHEV) Rams developed with support from a US$48 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy financed through the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Chrysler PHEV pickup project has an estimated total cost of US$97.4 million.[40][41] The RAM 1500
pickup PHEV was introduced at the January 2011 Washington Auto Show. The vehicle is part of a three-year demonstration program intended to
field test and evaluate battery performance across a wide range of drive cycles and temperature ambients, and also to evaluate customer
acceptance.[42] The PHEV demonstrator pick-up trucks are assembled at the Warren Truck Assembly plant in Michigan and the plug-in hybrid
conversion takes place at the Chrysler Technology Center in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The demonstrators are being allocated for field testing among

local and state governments, utility companies, and a U.S. Army base. [44]

The Ram 1500 PHEV demonstrator has a 345 hp 5.7L Hemi V8 gasoline engine mated to a two-
mode hybrid transmission and a 12.9 kWh 355V lithium-ion battery from Electrovaya. This setup
allows an all-electric range of more than 20 mi (32 km), but as a blended plug-in hybrid, the RAM
PHEV does not run exclusively all-electric during EV mode. The fully charged plug-in starts off
with charge depletion with limited regeneration at the high end of the state of charge (SoC). That
ramps up to a full regenerative capability somewhere in the 70 to 95% range and depletes down to
about 20%. Once depleted, it comes into a narrow charge-sustaining range.[40][42][43] The plug-in
pick-up meets AT-PZEV emissions standards, making it the only full-size V8 pickup with an AT-

(2,722 kg).[43]

The first 20 Ram PHEV demonstrators were delivered in May 2011 to Clark County, Nevada and
Yuma, Arizona, with 10 units each city.[40] Other cities that received the demonstration PHEVs are San Francisco and Sacramento, California,
Albany, New York, and Charlotte, North Carolina. In September 2011, another 10 units were delivered to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority (MBTA). Another 5 units will be delivered to Central Hudson Gas & Electric and National Grid.[44] DTE Energy in Detroit is scheduled
to receive 10 Ram PHEVs.[45]

Special editions
Dodge Ram R/T - A concept truck with a blue body, 22-inch forged wheels, SRT stripes, and a new front bumper with chin spoiler .
It was unveiled in 2008 at theSEMA Show.[46] Production of the Dodge Ram R/T began for the 2009 model year .[47] It is a regular
cab, short bed, 2WD 1500 Ram with 22" wheels, a 4.10 final drive gear ratio (the only way to get a 4.10 rear in a 1500), an R/T
badge in the lower-right corner of the grille, and a Hemi. It also has the performance hood from the Sport Appearance Package on
other Ram Sport models, but does not have the striping package that the concept had.
2014 Ram 1500 Urban Concept- The 2014 Ram 1500 Urban Concept features a 6.4L Hemi V8 producing 470 hp (350 kW) and
470 lb⋅ft (637 N⋅m) of torque. The engine comes from the Dodge Challenger SR T8 which is paired with a 5-speed automatic
W5A580 transmission or a 6-speed manualTremec TR6060 transmission. The concept features a regular cab painted in dark
blue clear coat with an off-center light blue stripe. It sits on 22-inch wheels painted hyperblack. No word on if this engine will be
available on either the 2500 or 3500.[48]

Issues

Fire incident, Hybrid, 2012


In September 2012, Chrysler temporarily suspended the demonstration program. All 109 Dodge Ram 1500 Plug-in Hybrids and 23 Chrysler Town
& Country plug-in hybrids deployed by the program were recalled due to damage sustained by three separate pickup trucks when their 12.9 kWh
battery packs overheated. The carmaker plans to upgrade the battery packs with cells that use a different lithium-ion chemistry before the vehicles
go back into service. Chrysler explained that no one was injured from any of the incidents, and the vehicles were not occupied at the time, nor any
of the minivans were involved in any incident, but they were withdrawn as a precaution. The demonstration is a program jointly funded by Chrysler
and the U.S. Department of Energy that includes the first-ever factory-produced vehicles capable of reverse power flow. The experimental system
would allow fleet operators to use their plug-in hybrids to supply electricity for a building during a power outage, reduce power usage when electric
rates are high or even sell electricity back to their utility company.[50][51] The company reported that the demonstration fleet had collectively
accumulated 1.3 million miles (2.1 million km) before the vehicles were recalled. Chrysler also reported that the plug-in pickups delivered peak
average fuel economy of 37.4 mpg‑US (6.29 L/100 km; 44.9 mpg‑imp ), while the plug-in hybrid minivans delivered 55.0 mpg‑US (4.28 L/100 km;
66.1 mpg‑imp ).[50]

Remote Control, Software, Uconnect Entertainment System, 2015


Charlie Miller, security researcher for Twitter and former NSA hacker, and Chris Valasek, director of vehicle security research at the consultancy
IOActive, showed how a Jeep Cherokee can be remote controlled. FCA recalled 1.4 Mio cars of various brand with the Uconnect entertainment
system on board.[52]
Safety
The Ram comes standard with four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, side curtain airbags, and an electronic stability program or ESP. In Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests, the 2009 Ram received a Good overall score in the frontal crash test, and a Marginal score in the
side impact test,[53] as well as the roof strength test.[54]

It received a 5-star frontal crash test rating from the NHTSA,[57] however under later testing methods it received an overall 3-star rating.[58] In the
side-pole test it was given a single star rating, because of excessive forces to the thoracic region. While the Ram 1500 features standard side-curtain
airbags it does not includeside torso airbags. The vehicle was redesigned and retested, and received a 5-star rating.

World markets
As of 2016, Ram trucks are available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Europe, and several
Middle Eastern countries.[68] The Ram trucks officially sold in many Latin American countries are outfitted with UNECE WP.29 lighting
[69]
equipments, including the taillights with separate amber turn signal indicators.

No right-hand-drive version has been built for the United Kingdom, South Africa, and other countries where the rule of road is on the left. In 2016,
FCA commenced selling the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 in Australia. These are converted to right hand drive in Australia before sale. Pricing
commences from $139,500AUD (approx $100,000USD).

Ram trucks are provided for the European market by the Swiss company AutoGlobal Trade in cooperation with FCA. Germany and Scandinavian
countries are some of the largest European markets for the Ram. A thriving cottage industry in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom
has imported and converted Ram trucks to right-hand-drive and to meet the local regulations, being more common in Australia since LHD cars less
than 30 years old (or 15 years old if registered in Western Australia) cannot be legally driven on Australian public roads unless they are granted a
diplomatic or a research and development exception to the rule. In the United Kingdom there is no such restriction, so a stock LHD Ram (or any
other LHD vehicle) is not required to undergo the costly and time-consuming process of an RHD conversion in order to be compliant with EU
regulations.

Nissan Titan
Following the collapse ofNissan Titan sales in 2008, there were talks[70] that the next generation of Nissan's full-sized pickup would be outsourced
to Chrysler as a version of the Ram 1500.[71] Nissan had been planning to phase out Titan production in its Canton, Mississippi factory in 2010 with
the new Nissan-only design for a cab, body and interior riding on the Dodge Ram chassis assembled in Chrysler's truck assembly lines in Saltillo,
Mexico.[72] However, the deal to build Nissan Titan pickups off the full-sized Dodge Ram pickup starting in 2011 was delayed with the changes at
Chrysler and Fiat.[73] Nissan eventually decided to keep the Titan,[74] and went on to release the second generation Titan as a 2016 model called the
Titan XD.
