Looks like they're putting DODGE back in the Ram grilles.

Just saw this and thought it was about time.

AI ? And does DODGE have 5 or 6 letters ?

They'll always be Dodges regardless of what the put on the grille.

I hope it's real. I've said for years that I believe making Ram a stand alone was a marketing faux pa, at least on trucks

Saw it where?

On the internet, so it must be true

well, DUH !

It has never sounded right.

I asked on a TRX Forum if anyone knew someone making grilles or partials for TRX's to replace "RAM". I want big bold DODGE on the front of mine!

I never understood the appeal of "Ram".

They split RAM from Dodge back in the FCA days due to them being on the brink and thinking if Dodge went down they didnt want them to take the truck unit with it which was a self filling cash register.

Plus it allows the truck brand RAM to be marketed on its own in all parts of the world by FCA. FCA has RAM as a sponsor of the world Motocross GP (MXGP) series that holds events all over the World. Naming it RAM or its own brand makes no conflict as to what they are marketing and selling. Sergio Marchionne was pretty smart in knowing the North American market along with the world market too. He was Canadian and Italian and knew from things like what the Japanese had done when the wanted to get into the luxury car market they didn't come out with high end Toyotas or Hondas or Nissans they created Lexus (supposedly but maybe not Luxury EXport United States) and Acura and Infinity. VW tried with the VW Phaeton and failed miserably here in the US as VW had an economy car image and no one was going to pay high end cost for a VW luxury car no matter how good it was. Mr. Marchionne said he was going to make Dodge the Performance brand and it surely became that. Chrysler was going to be the luxury brand and may or may not really made it there but the Pacifica and 300 made a small mark. And JEEP surely is a world marketing product and stand-alone success. RAM of course was and is the TRUCK brand and is also a world stand-alone success. If you say RAM then most people know what you are talking about. If you were to say "I have a Dodge Laramie" I would bet far less would know the type of vehicle you own. Oh and did Plymouth make trucks? (my point just saying ) I will admit it took me a LONG(horn) time to not day Dodge Ram but eventually got used to it and why Sergio had the brand head towards a better world marketing direction. DODGE PERFORMANCE MUSCLE. RAM TRUCKS.

It should be Dodge TRX then if Dodge is the performance brand.

My new to me 2010 Dodge Ram dually has DODGE in a couple of places, I thought that ended in 2009? Just glad to see those 5 golden letters on my truck...

that's for when you enter the showroom to buy one 🤣🎯

Make Ram and Jeep stand-alones so they can disolve Dodge/Chrysler. Look at the Dodge/Chrysler line-up...nothing there. All the money is in Jeep/Ram

My 2010 2500 has "Dodge" on the dash and on the tailgate emblem. BTW, I agree. Renaming Dodge truck was just the preamble to divestiture of the division.

2010 was the last year. Also last year for ram head on Dodge cars,

My 2012 had "Ram 1500" on the doors, but had Dodge on the dash.

hmmm, what are you implying ?

If it wasn't for the rebadge of the Challenger and Charger Dodge would have been long gone in 2008, the popularity kept the brand from disappearing. The Dart nameplate sure didn't help. Won't be long before Dodge is gone completely, and Chrysler would have been gone if not for moving the entire minivan platform...

Mine too

That grill looks like something you would see on a gettofied mustang. AI must have did that lettering, looks terrible, just like Dodges ideas lately.

Yes , 2012 was the last year for Dodge anywhere inside the interior in two places

2013 was all Ram

For years after 2013 (and potentially still) when you decode the VIN its still a Dodge

I would like to see a grille design that catches the bugs that clog the fins of the AC Evaporator,
but could hinge to open
and self clean those bugs away quickly.

But instead grilles are constantly redesigned to look “meaner”

Its like embossing “Death’s Head” symbols on the handle of a wrench to scare the nuts to spin themselves off.

The funny thing is they went back to Dodge at that point. 2005 trucks didn't say Dodge on the back or the dash and I think it stayed that way with the Ram logo only until the restyle in 09 and they put the Dodge back. Even tho they were advertising them as a Dodge the whole time.

Sadly, I suspect the Stellantis board members would sell Ram to one buyer, then sell Dodge to a 2nd buyer and Jeep to a 3rd buyer.

Odds are those buyers are likely to be in India or China, perhaps Japan.
