Dodge has ceased manufacturing its popular Ram full-size pickup truck series.

Dodge stopped making trucks after many successful years because demand was decreasing.

Several factors, including rising gas prices, high initial purchase prices,

and a shift in consumer taste away from large trucks and toward more fuel-efficient small and midsize sport utility vehicles, contribute to this trend.

Many Ram fans will be sad to see this,

but Dodge needs to stay profitable, so they had to follow the market.

As of now, there are no signs that Dodge has any plans to reintroduce the Ram.
