Seventeen years, three owners
The year is coloured by whoever held it at the time.
- 2009 Ram became a stand-alone truck brand in October 2009, separated from Dodge so that each could concentrate on its own market.
- 2011 Fiat S.p.A. took control of Chrysler Group LLC, and with it the Ram brand, which Chrysler Group had established as a separate brand in the fourth quarter of 2009, on 24 May 2011, when it acquired a further 16 percent of the company, taking its interest to 46 percent on a fully diluted basis, and options that became exercisable that day gave it potential voting rights amounting to control; Fiat consolidated Chrysler Group from 1 June 2011 and held 58.5 percent by early 2012, with the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, the majority member since 2009, holding the rest. Neither party is in the dataset: Fiat S.p.A. merged into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. in 2014.
- 2014 Ram passed from Fiat S.p.A. to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. on 12 October 2014, when Fiat S.p.A. merged with and into its Dutch subsidiary Fiat Investments N.V., which was renamed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. on the same day and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange the next. FCA's first annual report names Ram among the brands it designs, manufactures and sells. Neither party is in the dataset: Fiat S.p.A. ceased to exist in the merger, and FCA N.V. is the same registrant that was renamed Stellantis in 2021, which the dataset treats as beginning only then. Fiat S.p.A. had owned all of Chrysler Group LLC since 21 January 2014, and Exor, the Agnelli family holding company, consolidated Fiat S.p.A. as a subsidiary before the merger and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. after it, with 29.25% of FCA's shares and 44.37% of its votes at the end of 2014.
- 2021 Ram Trucks came under Stellantis on 16 January 2021, when the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Groupe PSA took effect and Ram Trucks was named as one of the fourteen brands of the combined company.
