Dodge Ram Truck Historical Data

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 Dodge Ram Info.
