In late 2009, Chrysler made the announcement that the Dodge division would be split into two brand names. Dodge car, minivans and SUV models would continue to be sold under the Dodge brand name. The pickup, cab & chassis, and other commercial models would be sold under the RAM brand name. Along with the existing Ram truck models, the 2011 and later Dakota pickup also became a RAM model.
For 2012, the Dodge Caravan C/V commercial van becomes the RAM C/V. In 2013 Chrysler added the ProMaster line of front wheel drive commercial vehicles, based on the European Fiat Ducato.
When is it a Dodge, and When is it a RAM?
During the 2010 model year there was some confusion during brand names changes to the model line-up. Many of the pickup models were called Dodge Rams.
Mitchell 1 started using the RAM brand in its products starting with the 2011 model year. When you select the 2011 model year in ProDemand, you will find RAM as a vehicle make. You will not find 2011 and later Dodge built trucks under the Dodge vehicle make they are now under the RAM brand name.
