RAM trucks are the backbone of the working-class driver, and RAM trucks are known for their exceptional heavy-duty towing and hauling capabilities. But is RAM American-made, or does RAM build its trucks outside the country? We’re happy to tell you that not only are RAM trucks made in America, but you can find your very own RAM truck right here at our dealership, conveniently located near El Dorado Hills.
We don’t manufacture the RAM trucks seen in our lot. So, exactly where is the RAM 1500 made? See where RAM builds its trucks before visiting our dealership to explore our RAM inventory!
Where is the RAM 1500 made? The RAM 1500 is currently manufactured in the Stellantis Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, located in Sterling Heights, Michigan. The facility was built in 1953 by the U.S. military and originally was a jet engine plant, where jet parts and missiles were assembled. In 1980, it was turned into an automobile plant by Volkswagen, and then it was bought by Chrysler in 1983.
In 2016, FCA invested over $1.5 billion into the plant to build RAM 1500 models and expand the reach of the RAM brand. Following this announcement, 700 new jobs were created. In 2024, Stellantis announced it would invest $235 million in producing the first-of-its-kind 2025 RAM 1500 REV light-duty truck. The 2025 RAM 1500 Ramcharger will also be built at the Stellantis plant in Sterling Heights.
Currently, the Stellantis Sterling Heights Assembly Plant spans 5 million square feet and occupies over 280 acres.
The RAM 1500 is made in Michigan, but the heavier-duty models, like the RAM 2500 and 3500, are made in Stellantis Saltillo Truck Assembly Plant in Saltillo, Mexico. This facility was built in 1995, and the first line of RAM heavy-duty models was built here in 2005. This facility isn’t quite as big as the Michigan location, but it still has over 200,000 square feet and nearly 50 acres.
The good news is that you don’t have to travel to Mexico or even Sterling Heights, Michigan. If you’re in the Cameron Park area, you can visit our dealership to test-drive a RAM 1500 from our inventory!
Where are RAM trucks made? Many of your favorite RAM trucks are built close to home, but you can get behind the wheel of a RAM 1500 or something more heavy-duty right here at our dealership!
