I don’t either, fully. It sounds like it was so that the Dodge brand and the Ram brand could be focused on individually.

Sounds like it was Fiat that did it, tho.

When damper split from Chrysler, Chrysler wasn't sure it could survive and split brands so they could be sold off.

Ram name is dumb. What do we have? a Ram Ram. Will always be a Dodge to me with Ram being the model. Even my 2005 Hemi Ram said Dodge nowhere on it.

Meh. Doesn't bother me. I used to jokingly call my old Dakota a Mercedes, back when it was Daimler-Chrysler... :D

I still call my RAM a Dodge once in a while. Especially since I currently have a Dodge minivan, and had a Dodge Dakota for 17 years before this, so Dodge is kind of stuck in my head.

No, the split didn’t happen until 2009 when Fiat bought them out.

In 1998, Chrysler merged with German automaker Daimler-Benz AG to form DaimlerChrysler; the merger proved contentious with investors. As a result, Chrysler was sold to Cerberus Capital Management and renamed Chrysler LLC in 2007.

I know it bugs the crap out of my brother in law when someone calls his GMC a Chevy........so of course, I have to!

A friend bought a new GMC and argued with me on how different everything was between a Chevy and GMC pickup.(drivetrain, suspension etc.) I finally told him the only difference was he could spell GMC.

My registration and title do not read Ram Ram, although that would be funny. They read Ram 1500 for make/model, which makes sense to me.

Yeah....I just rolled with it when I had mine.

It’s actually worse for my charger rt scat pack. First it sounds like a hellcat, looks like an SRT ( those has been discontinued now) and now the lower trim models have the dynamics package and those have a v6 in them..lol

My first vehicle was a Dodge 1\2 ton pickup over 40 years ago. I have had them ever since so they will always be dodge to me. I have 5 currently of various vintages from 2019 and older.

The only time I even notice is when Im on an autoparts store's website and I'm selecting my vehicle by going through all their drop downs and I scroll all the way down to where Ram should be on the list of manufacturers only to find it not there and have to scroll back up to Dodge. That's the only time the Dodge/Ram thing affects my life and lets be honest thats pretty low on the aggravation scale lol.

RAM 1500 becouse that's what it is. Or you whant 5 middle names to say/type?

Are you saying Mercedes-Benz too instead of just Mercedes? See Its nicer to just say RAM ;)

Here in Sweden we say BMV instead of BMW, becouse it so much easyer to say and everyone know what it is anyway ;)

Doesn't bother me. But what does is how inconsistent website car menus are.
Select make - down to ram. Nope, back up to dodge.
Different site- go to dodge, nope. Down to ram.

Sorry if this rubs anyone the wrong way, but you have to be a pretty pretentious individual to be upset about anyone calling your truck a Dodge.
