Automotive fans, you might remember the Dodge Ram 50, the little truck that came straight from Mitsubishi. Sold during the 1980s, this little truck, smaller than the Dakota, brought a great deal of joy to many owners. Within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Fiat has it's own small truck, the Strada. RAM has the same type of small truck... in Mexico. Granted, this type of pickup is popular in that country. GM is already distributing the Chevrolet Tornado, and we can count on the Ford Ranger, which is a little bigger. The RAM 750 is highly derivative of the Strada, to the point where the only changes are the Fiat badges having been replaced by a goat's head on the griller, on the box panel and on the steering wheel. The rest of the vehicle is identical in all respects to the Italian Fiat Strada. More

The popular Ram 1500 EcoDiesel beat out rivals from Ford, GM, Nissan and Toyota in the full size-light-duty pickup truck category. The diesel-powered half-ton 1500 scored well for it's fuel economy of 27 mpg, and for it's "whisper quiet" interior. In a statement, Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports said: "These are about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV." He added: "Ram is currently the only truck to offer turbo-diesel technology. It will be interesting to see what impact it will have on the half-ton truck market." More
