About this generation

A full-size pickup with improved ergonomics and powerful HEMI engines.

The third generation of the 1500 series became much more comfortable, offering a spacious cabin and independent front suspension on 2WD models. During this period, the legendary HEMI V8 engines returned under the hood, providing the pickup with outstanding performance. The model became significantly quieter and safer, transforming from a purely work-oriented tool into a versatile vehicle suitable for both hauling heavy loads and daily family use.
