Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis Takes over Ram Brand

Tim Kuniskis—a 31-year veteran of Chrysler in its various forms and CEO of the Dodge brand since 2021—is taking over the Ram truck brand. Stellantis made the announcement yesterday, with current Ram head Mike Koval heading to run the Mopar parts division effective July 1.

As Automotive News points out, the move comes as Ram preps the launch of an electric van later this year and the 1500 REV EV pickup next year. The brand also announced the mid-size Rampage pickup yesterday, currently just for the Brazilian market. We're hoping it could come to the U.S. to contest the heating-up small-pickup market, though to do so without paying the hefty "chicken tax" would require a North American production facility. In a statement, Stellantis says Kuniskis is charged with growing the Ram brand in North American and expanding globally.
