Dodge  Trucks

Over the years, became Dodge at least as well known for its many truck models as for its prodigious passenger car production. In 2009, trucks spun into separate Ram brands, named after the popular truck brand Dodge Ram. However, it should be noted that even though the Ram trucks are marketed separately from Dodge cars, Ram President Fred Diaz said that “Ram trucks always been and will forever be dodged. Aries is always the Dodge emblem inside and out and they will be. pinned as a dodge We must continue to market as Aries as Dodge will have a different brand identity. hip, cool, young, and energetic It will not fit in the campaign for truck buyers.

Dodge panel delivery models were offered for many years since its inception but came their first purpose-built model in 1964 and the compact A Series. Based on the Dodge Dart platform and using its proven six-cylinder or V8 engines, the A-series was a strong contender for both its local rivals (Ford and Chevrolet / GMC) and the small Volkswagen Transporter line. As the market develops, Dodge realized that it would require a larger and stronger line in the future. So the B-series introduced offered 1971 both car-like comfort in his Sportsman passenger line and expansive space for gear and materials in the merchant cargo line. A chassis-cab version is also available for use with larger cargo boxes or Kampeerwagen.

Dodge  SUVs

Dodge’s first experiments with something like a sports utility vehicle appeared in the late 1950s with a small window version of their standard panel truck – known as the Town Wagon. This building was in the same style by the mid-1960s. But the department does not have the SUV arena in earnest until 1974, with the aim of building a Ramcharger. With the offer of the then-popular open body style and Dodge’s powerful V8 engines, Ramcharger was a strong contender for trucks like the Ford Bronco, Chevrolet Blazer, and International Harvester Scout II.

Again, though, Dodge left with outdated products developed during the 1980s as the market. The Ramcharger hung on by 1993 with only minor updates. When the Ram truck has been redesigned for the model year 1994, the Ramcharger was discontinued in the US and Canadian markets, a version using the updated styling has been made for the Mexican market but is not imported to the US or Canada.
