Dodge/RAM 1500 – pickup in the light registration class since the 1980s: from a Dodge model to the standalone Ram Trucks brand in 2010, V6/V8/V10 engines, 110 to 372 kW
The Ram (badged Dodge Ram until the 2000s, and simply Dodge Truck in older model years) is Chrysler's answer to the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado, built since 1981 across several generations; in 2010 Ram became a standalone brand within the Chrysler group, now Stellantis. The 1500 series number marks the lightest of the three US pickup classes (1500/2500/3500); the register also lists older designations such as RAM 100 and RAM 150 alongside it. Suffixes like SLT, Laramie, Big Horn and Sport denote trim lines, Quad Cab and Crew Cab the cab size, and 4X4 four-wheel drive.

The register lists 253 versions with 110 to 372 kW output, displacements of 2,429 to 8,275 cm³ (from a four-cylinder diesel to petrol V10s, including the 8.3-litre V10 of the early years), 4 to 10 cylinders, unladen weights of 1,162 to 3,172 kg, and gross weights of 1,889 to 3,500 kg; length is recorded for only 63 vehicles, ranging from 4,755 to 6,070 mm.
As a pickup with a gross weight of up to 3.5 t, the Ram 1500 falls into the same light-commercial class in Europe as panel vans, but is mostly imported as a recreational, towing and work vehicle; the EcoDiesel and HEMI V8 variants are the most frequently recorded drivetrains in the register.
On used examples, check rust on the ladder frame and brake lines (especially on vehicles imported from road-salt regions), condition of the eight-speed automatic, tow hitch and payload relative to trailer weight, fuel consumption and tax class in Europe, and parts availability through US import dealers.
