Minor styling refreshes occurred, most notably around 1998 (often referred to as '98.5' for the Cummins engine change from 12-valve to 24-valve) and again for 2002. Quad Cab introduced in 1998.

Production

Manufacturing Plants:

Primarily Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Warren, Michigan.

🏆 Awards & Recognition

Recognitions

Diesel Engine Awards:

The 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine consistently received accolades for its durability, torque, and reliability, often considered one of the best diesel engines of its era.

Vehicle Awards:

While specific awards for the entire generation may vary, the Ram platform was generally well-regarded for its capabilities and styling, leading to strong sales and market presence.
