| The following
historical data of the Dodge Ram, manufactured by Daimler
Chrysler, was retrieved from many
sources. This is
only a brief overview of certain important events in the
history of the Dodge Ram Truck; before 1981 the Dodge Truck
was actually called the 'D' Truck (also known as The Adventurer).
We take you from 1981 to 2006.
The first-generation Dodge Ram Trucks were designated
as 150 (1/2 ton), 250 (3/4 ton), and 350 (1 ton); the designations
did not change to 1500, 2500, and 3500 until 1994. The Dodge
Ram engines were updated in 1989.
 1994
brought about many changes to the design of the Dodge Ram
truck including the, very popular, "semi-truck" look. Dodge
also introduced it's 8.0L V10 engine that truck enthusiasts
so loved.
The third-generation Dodge Ram made it's entree in 2002
and sported a larger grille, a new interior, a new frame,
and an all new suspension. One interesting happening in
2003 was the entrance of the Dodge Ram SRT-10 which would
capture the title of the fastest
pickup on earth in 2004 with 500 horses. More
