    Peugeot, in partnership with a Chinese company, has released specs and photos of its new pickup trucks. Running the same class as the current Mitsubishi L200 / Ram 1200 / Fiat Fullback (and the old Dodge Dakota), this pickup looks like a “lifestyle truck” but is designed for commercial use...

    The official numbers for the first quarter are in, and Ram’s 120,026 U.S. sales easily beat the Chevrolet Silverado’s 114,313. Ah, you ask, but what about the GMC Sierra, which is really just an altered Silverado with different options?  That adds another 40,546 pickups, so that GM easily...

    Allpar’s David Lantz was in Houston yesterday morning, when the Ram 2500 and 3500 Laramie Longhorn were unveiled in their full, leather-and-wood-trimmed glory. On the same day, the Texas Motor Press Association (not to be confused with the Texas Auto Writers' Association, or TAWA) named the...

    The return of the Ram Heavy Duty Laramie Longhorn isn’t surprising, but unveiling the 2019 version today was unexpected. The Luxury Pickup Truck of Texas (based on votes from the Texas Auto Writers Association) three years in a row, the Laramie Longhorn 2500 benefits greatly from its unique...

    First, let’s clarify the name — just like the Dodge Dart 440 did not have a 440 engine, the Ram Rebel 12 is not a 2012 Ram Rebel. Instead, it’s the first Ram 1500 Rebel to come with a 12-inch UConnect touch-screen navigation system.  The idea, according to Ram chief Jim Morrison, came from...

    The latest salvo in the war on gas guzzling was fired by Ram, the first company to put hybrid-electric powertrains into mainstream pickups.

    Analysis. For years, people speculated about why Ram was split from Dodge. The official explanation, accountability, never made much sense; nor did  “people call it a Ram anyway.” People call it a Charger, but there’s no Charger brand. For that matter, the SRT brand didn’t last long. For...

    A good deal of the styling of the 2019 Ram 1500 comes from the Hellcat-powered Ram Rebel TRX Concept unveiled at the 2016 State Fair of Texas. Could more from the TRX be coming? On the 2019 Ram 1500, the window on the rear doors has a kink in the bottom, just like the Rebel TRX Concept. The...

    A big vertical screen, like the one in the Dodge Charger pursuit cars? It looks as though that’s one of the new additions to the 2019 Ram 1500 , based on the work of spy photographer Brian Williams of SpiedBilde. Although it could be two smaller screens, cleverly styled to look like one, the...

    A week after Allpar landed an exclusive photo of the 2019 Ram 1500, Automotive News and numerous other sources showed spy shots of a different Ram 1500.

    Were you wondering what the 2019 Ram 1500 looks like? We’ve gotten a sneak peek at the grille and interior of what appears to be a fairly high-end model, based on the real wood. That grille seems to be begging for a word in the middle — but isn’t it too large for “RAM”? Perhaps “Ram 1500” or...
