The Ram 1500 – formerly the Dodge Ram 1500 – has been the junior player of the Big Three against the American sales leader, the Ford F-150, and the runner-up, the Chevy Silverado 1500.

America loves trucks, and for most, that truck is either the longstanding best-selling truck in the United States and Canada – the Ford F-150 – or one of the other two members of the Big Three’s responses to the F-150: the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 – and, by extension, its mechanical twin, the GMC Sierra 1500 – and the Ram 1500.
