About Ram Trucks

The first Dodge Ram trucks debuted in 1980, but the famous ram hood ornament has a longer history. It first appeared in 1932, designed by Dodge as a way to symbolize the ruggedness of its trucks. Dodge used the ram until 1954 before giving it a three-decade hiatus until 1980, when Chrysler’s then-president and CEO Leo Iacocca brought back the hood ornament and produced the first trucks to bear the Ram model name: the Dodge Ram and Dodge Power Ram pickup trucks.

Dodge remained part of the name until 2010, when Dodge and Ram split into a passenger car brand and a light- and medium-duty truck and van brand.
