What did Dodge change their name to?

Dodge, a well-known American automotive brand, made significant changes to its lineup over the years, including its famous RAM pickup truck. The Dodge RAM pickup truck made its debut in 1980 for the 1981 model year. Alongside the RAM truck, there were also notable additions like the Ramcharger SUV and Dodge RAM van. These vehicles were part of Dodge’s diverse range of offerings, catering to various consumer needs in the automotive market.

However, a pivotal moment came in 2009 when RAM and Dodge underwent a split. Prior to this, the RAM truck bore the Dodge name, but after the split, RAM emerged as its own distinct marque. This separation marked a new era for the RAM truck, distancing itself from the Dodge brand to establish its identity in the market. Despite this change, the legacy of the Dodge RAM pickup truck continued, evolving under the RAM brand with its own unique design language and innovations.

In the world of automobiles, brand identity and evolution are constant themes. The separation of RAM from Dodge in 2009 represented a strategic move by the company to distinguish its truck lineup. This shift allowed RAM to carve out its own identity, separate from Dodge, and cater specifically to the demands and preferences of truck enthusiasts. The RAM pickup truck, once bearing the Dodge name, became a standalone brand synonymous with rugged performance and capability.
