I just traded in my trusty (and rusty) 1990 D150 Dodge RAM pickup that had "DODGE" written in LARGE LETTERS across it's entire tailgate, and across the top of it's hood. I Bought a 2006 Dodge RAM 2500 and have noticed that the name "DODGE" appears NO-WHERE on my Truck !!!?????? On the tailgate I get the Ram emblem,and the "Heavy Duty" badge....but that's it !!!! Why has[X(] Dodge hidden its proud name on the new models ????!!! I Used to love having the "DODGE" name proudly emblazoned all over my old truck !!! Where's the Pride ???
ps; i notice some new 2500 trucks do carry a "Dodge" badge just above the "Heavy Duty" badge on the tailgate.......is that an add-on ?????

They changed this in year 2005. 2004 and before have the Dodge name badge, 2005 and later just have the ram emblem.

 

'cus everyone will know a dodge when they see one.

if they don't blink, that is, or they will miss it.

 

probably due to popularity of the "de-badged" look.

 

debaged = 0 badges, there are still, 4x4 heavyduty Hemi ....

so what is accomplished
