First Generation Dodge Ram 1981-1993 | Commercial Compilation [2020] 

Back when all three detroit companies weren't afraid to say there competitors names

Dude just casually walks while having 1 ton weighty vehicles above him.

Nobody: Not a single soul: Dodge: LETS DROP TRUCK

I drive an '85 with a 225 Slant 6. Runs just like the day it drove off of the lot. Passed down to me by my Grandad. Will never get rid of it.

Ah I remember the 80s. When trucks fell from the sky....good times.

Can you imagine being an 18 year old kid back in the 80s watching these commercials? I know I would’ve been dreaming about owning one of those trucks. Especially when the cummins first came out in 1989

These are by far my favorite body style out of all the dodge truck generations

"Guarded against rust" as I re weld plate metal onto half my d150

It's crazy that these trucks are now worth as much as they were when they were new.

Dodge should drop the hellcat in a commercial.

Wish I could be there to buy one brand new off the lot

The good Ole days when the sky rained Dodge Rams

Haa! Check out the prices. My first new truck in 85 was just over 13,000. That was allot of money! Aww... The good old days.

The guy off camera air dropping trucks: "Bygod, I love my job!"

What I miss most about these old trucks... their pricing.

I might end up getting a 84' Dodge Ram 1500 that's literally rust free for 7,500. It's a phenomenal deal that I just can't pass up.

These trucks really hold their value. Try buying one today….

When I was in the Army in the early 80s they had thousands of 350 diesel Dodges,sometimes the boxes would break loose.

80s, a decade doesent get any better than that🤠

Something about that animated one is awesome

I wanna see them drop a brand new one

I love the dropping trucks bit. looks dangerous as hell though

Still have my 88! Bought it at an auction for $800

Back when dodge made trucks and Fiat didn't have anything in dodge

Back when Trucks actually showed you why their vehicles were better and they showed the reason why they wanted them In your driveways

Man they made it rain Dodges for a few years haha.

"Lordy lordy! it just be raining dodge trucks!"

Think I will go drive my 1989 Ramcharger now.

They sure do like dropping trucks from the sky.

I love this generation of ram, they were so simple and they meant more than a social standard of 2nd gens. But I can respect both the 1st and 2nd gen rams. I wish the magic of these Era of trucks would still be around

0:45 that one's mine. Ran across it by accident when I was 16 and I love it.

Those Ramcharger turbines are nice, and strong

Bro I love how the trucks fall out of the fricking roof

They need to bring back the D50 to compete against the Maverick

Love my 78 D-150 and these drop truck ads

Love the Dodge Ram trucks

Those old Dodge trucks sure looks a million times better than the new Ram 1500 and 2500 trucks.

I remember the old commercials. They dont drop todays trucks from the air because they would totally break apart and be destroyed.

Did I just see that? 10.9 finance rate? What a deal

These are my dream trucks. Hard to find one for a reasonable price and without 300,000 miles on it

I was a dodge fan in my youth. I owned 2 ramchargers, a plymouth trailduster and 3 of the D150s with the magnum engines and 1 D250 cummins. I kick myself for not being a hoarder and letting them go. I had the D150s, 2 with 318s, 1 with a 360 and all 3 had 5 speeds. I wish I could get a truck like them now. There was also never a better pull your boat to the lake truck than the Ramchargers. Great power, sat low and towed great. I guess those falling trucks really brainwashed me in hindsight.

I wasn’t expecting that old Earnhardt dodge commercial. That dealer is still here in Arizona

Honestly the chevy like a rock commercials are by far the best!

Lets drop Rams! Hell yeah!

They were sweet trucks, wish I had a couple laying around

Just throw it from the roof 😂👍💪

I've owned an 83, pickup slant 6, a couple of Ram Chargers 318, and now I have an 87 Pickup 318... people keep asking me if I want to sell it... I see them used in a lot of TV shows and movies...

I have owned Ford and Chevy trucks from this era and they just were not as low maintenance and reliable as my first gen dodge Rams. I still own a 90 ramcharger with a 318 and I have never had trouble with the engine. I have replaced water pumps, alternators, tune up stuff and that is it. I will never sell my ramcharger because it will never die. BTW, I don't like that they dropped the Dodge name to be just ram. It will be a Dodge forever to me.

Now that’s a Manly truck

Ahh yes, back before all the horrible new design language, back when they had real v8s, and didn't have stupid driving modes, you just got in, started it and it worked.... Hate New trucks and cars, what I would do to buy one of these new as a hs kid in 1990 blasting rust in peace on a new cassette... No infotainment bs or anything else that makes things more expensive then it had to be.. Real buttons no bs...

Totally awesome

they're beating the hell put of these trucks lol

Man, I would take that dually Ram

Every time a vehicle was dropped, I said out loud "Oh my god." Mechanical sympathy kicks in.

1:17 I think thats the ramcharger the bad guy with the weird haircut drove in "No country for Old Men"

1:06, the drivers side front wheel looks like it bent after impact.

if i can find a single short cab between these yrs would be so fun to have

Well their not lying you could drop a Ford like that it’s frame would bow in two and a Chevy would have springs flying off like projectiles

Commercial goes hard asf

Guess dodge loved to drop their trucks from 12ft in the air decades ago

Awesome trucks I wonder why these trucks from the 70s ands 80s are not common to see on the road like the rest of older Fords and Chevy trucks?

My first vehicle was a 1990 W150 Clubcab with a 318. It was stock except for aftermarket wheels but did I ever like that truck.

Awesome!

It all began in March 20, 1981.

10.9% financing! what a deal!

Dodge: we fall from the sky!

I wish they’d go square again

They just did commercials better back then.

They should think about bringing back the old body styles it worked with the mustang and the animated ad might work better when they come out with their first electric ram they way those ads were made were cool I was only a kid so I didn’t understand any of that wonder what it will be like in 20 years maybe taking about total self driving

"You'll have more horsepower then Ford or Chevy" 🤣 like kids bru

Neat truck

Ram Tough Trucks!

How come only 89 Cummins commercial was only one with actuallly rough off roading when ford Chevy were making super crazy off road commercials that actually make you think holy cow. Dodge was just like let’s make commercials that are sci fi. I own first gen Cummins and 1 ton 4x4 and 1ton 2wd. But dang ford made some cool commercials and so did Chevy

I’ll take a 93 extended cab W250 with the Cummins and 5 speed, please... and a 93 Ramcharger with the 360 and 5 speed, too. And the red 90 Dakota Club Cab in the background of the last commercial, because that’s the exact truck my dad bought new in 1990 when I was seven, down to the color and all.

I love how they drop their trucks from like 20 feet!

This proves to me that Dodge and Ram need to be merged back together. When you think of the Ram pickup, you think Dodge. Period.

I was sold at 5.9 Cummins

0:33*drops ram from 100 feet*

Who was singing that jingle that was playing around 4:10? He reminds me of Paul Davis or Paul Overstreet.

6:40 good ole foggy mountain breakdown for some great background music.

6:25 “magnum Cummins diesel” What’s in a name?? Lol

I remember when my dad tried dropping our new Dodge Truck from the ceiling like they did in these inspirational commercials. Unfortunately when our truck dropped all four wheels popped off injuring our entire family! It also bent the frame and the engine block cracked and detached from the transmission. Mom then left us for a guy who sold Chevy trucks. Dad still had to make payments and we all went into poverty. So, whatever you do, don't drop your Dodge truck from the ceiling and ruin your life.

DODGE RAM 🐏

I Love these ads.

As someone who owns a 1987 D150 8’ Bed, I can confirm that actually dropping a Dodge shows how durable they are. Try that with a ford: it will crumple!

YEEEOOOO they were just dropping trucks fucking FEET from the actor?? That looks really real to be 80s CGI. The 80s were a different time man.. goddamn😂

Gave life by the horns.

MOPAR #1

The most 1980’s commercial I’ve seen

You know there saying a lot that they have rust proof bodies. 2021: literally every dodge under the year 2002 Is known for either being rusted out or has rust somewhere

When trucks were trucks NOT 4 door luxury grocery getters

I can already see the rust forming

had a 78 power wagon less than 10 years old and under 100 k it was a bacon 🥓 mobile

I love mine it's a 1986 dodge d150 but was a 318 I swapped in a 360

10.9% financing...ouch!

Do all these dodge trucks just fall out of the sky or what 😂

2:21 10.9% APR financing - those were the post-malaise-era days of high inflation!

I got the W350 royal special edition power ram

Its funny how they keep droping the trucks

lmao they actually dropped them! hard to belive the cummins out towed them those years it was only 160hp while the GM6.5 was 210hp i own both and prefer the 6.5l detroit diesel
