Brand loyalists were worried when Ram split from Dodge in 2009. However, RAM, now part of the Stellantis Group, has proven more than capable of creating its own brand identity and thriving in competitive market segments.
The automobile manufacturer continues to deliver a range of high-quality offerings aimed at meeting the demand of truck buyers in the light, mid and heavy-duty truck segments.
Electrification is a significant part of RAM’s plans for the future, with an electric variant of the RAM 1500 expected for the 2025 MY. For now, the current lineup is still made up of very capable vehicles that should help Stellantis sustain momentum on the back of a strong 2023 financial showing.

Our Take
RAM is taking advantage of the relatively options-light all-electric van segment by debuting the ProMaster electric van. The first variant will be an EV delivery model with a later availability for the non-delivery/cargo model. The ProMaster EV will be capable of Level 3 charging, currently one of the fastest ways to charge an EV. Other perks include advanced safety features and a unibody design that smartly incorporates the battery pack into the floor, maintaining a cargo volume comparable with its ICE counterpart.

It is available with rear or four-wheel drive. Also, customers can opt for either an extended cockpit or a larger four-crew cab.

The RAM 2500 is RAM’s entry point into the world of heavy-duty work trucks. The large pickup, according to Edmunds, boasts ‘one of the nicest interiors’ on the market today. The well-appointed cabin layout allows the occupants to travel in comfort even while working. As with the RAM 1500, customers can select from a range of trim and powertrain options, depending on personal preferences.

Specifications
- MSRP: starts at $51,975 USD / $70,294 CAD
- Engine: 6.4-litre HEMI V8 (6.7-litre Cummins Diesel Turbo I6 engine also available)
- Power / Torque: 410 hp / 429 lb-ft

Our Take
This monster truck was custom-built to handle the toughest of pickup duties. A staggering 1,000 lb-ft of torque gives the RAM 3500 a towing capacity only a few rivals can match. The cabin is quiet for a truck this size, and there’s loads of room, enhancing the comfort level of the occupants. A variety of trim levels means that customers still have choices, even at the extreme heavy-duty end of the pickup scale.
