Since being first introduced in 1981, the Dodge Ram truck has become one of America's favorite trucks. To the right, and below, are some interesting facts about the Dodge Ram.

The Dodge Ram is classified as a full-size pickup truck and has three sizes, at time of writing (2006); the sizes are 1500 (1/2 ton), 2500 (3/4 ton), and 3500 (1 ton). The Dodge Ram 1500 is for normal drivers that don't intend to use their truck in a work environment, but rather drive back and forth to work, etc. The 2500 and 3500 Dodge Rams are used, mostly, as heavy duty trucks to work and haul heavier loads. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 is for those with a need for power, speed, style, comfort, safety and for those with a big wallet.

The Dodge Ram is built in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, Fenton, Missouri, and Warren, Michigan as of late 2006.

The Dodge Ram, as of late 2006, has three cab styles, Regular, Quad, and Mega cabs. The Dodge Ram has two bed lengths, 6'5" and 8', and three trim levels, Base ST, Mid-Level SLT, and Luxury SLT Plus; an optional sports package can be had for the SLT and SLT Plus as well.
