In this episode I provide the history of the Dodge Ram, which was the renamed Dodge D and W series pickups starting in 1981. The name Ram was also used for the Ramcharger SUV beginning in 1974. The first gen Ram wasn't much different than the model it replaced, but was completely redesigned for 1994 with a new look that would make the Ram the most popular model for Chrysler in the 1990's. The Ram would maintain a similar look for the third and fourth gens, but the fourth gen in 2009 would no longer be branded as a Dodge, as the Ram name would officially become its own brand in 2011.
