What model to buy – Dodge Ram 2018 or 2019?
Way back in 1917, a company produced trucks that were characterized by Ram’s head hood ornament, a symbol that was employed from 1932 onward. Ram was a name that was later spun to build an exclusive car-based line with focused brand building and marketing activities. Since the establishment of the Ram brand in 2009 as a trunk brand division of the Chrysler Group, it has given full size competition to market space contenders like Ford, Chevrolet, and GMC.

The brand has been building vans and trucks ever since they are used for light, medium, and heavy duties. These vehicles are now known for a starting price point, considered as competitive in class, towing capacity that is exceptional, and great durability.
