Many people know the Ram Pickup range as a product of Dodge auto manufacturing in the USA but in 2010 they split the model into its own company.

So when you hear the Ram Pickup name being used it's technically now the Ram company selling the Pickup model.

On this page, you will find the oil types for both the older pre-2010 versions and post 2010 when the pickups were given their own brand.

Back in 1980 the first Ram's hit the market and many of them featured a "ram" (the animal) hood ornament to push the branding.

Original engine options were limited to one of four 6 or 8 cylinder options mated to 3/4 speed automatic or 4/5 speed manual transmission.

With the introduction of the second-generation truck in 1994, the design was changed drastically from a boxy utilitarian vehicle to a smarter more rounded work/play truck.

The new styling would stay in place for many generations and is still commonplace in the modern fifth-generation model that came onto sale in 2019.

New examples of the Ram Pickup are available in 7 different trim levels and an optional eTorque package to assist torque with a battery/motor hybrid system.

In terms of towing the payload capacity continues to climb with each new redesign, an important factor for domestic and commercial buyers of pickup trucks.

Sales in the USA have always been impressive with many domestic car buyers opting for pickup trucks.

Over the last 30 or so years, the Ram has seen heavy competition from the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado in the battle for customers.
