Dodge Ram 1994 to 2001: The 'BR / BE Trucks
The Ram line was redesigned in 1994 and was an instant hit. Offered a semi truck-look front independent with large fenders and a grill, but it was the 8.0 L V10 engine and 450 ft.lbf (610 Nm) of torque was observed for serious users. Now the models 1500 (half ton), 2500 (¾ tons) and 3500 (one ton).
A natural gas version of the 5.2 L engine debuted in 1995. In 1998, Dodge introduced the "Quad-Cab," which later columns doors hinged at the rear for a wide opening of the cabin. Cummins isb engine, introduced in 1999, was a multi-valve pushrod engine.
The new Ram 1994 was a tremendous hit, with sales of 100,000 units of rocket in 1993 to 240,000 in 1994, 280,000 in 1995 and nearly 400,000 in 1996. Sales of this generation peaked at just over 400,000 in 1999 before declining against the redesigned Ford and GM trucks, which use some of the design elements of the Ram. In 2001, Ram returned to 350,000 sales.
