Ram 1500 Drives Big Q3 Gains as Ram Brand Overtakes Jeep in Volume

Stellantis’ Q3 2026 results show a notable surge for the Ram 1500 and the Ram brand overall. Company figures released October 1 and summarized October 2 indicate Stellantis sold 324,277 vehicles in the quarter, with year-to-date sales up 3%. Ram light-duty pickup sales climbed to 76,650 in Q3, a 73% increase from the prior year’s 44,349, while Ram brand volume reached 134,072—up 29%—and Jeep slipped to 128,542, down 20%.

Stellantis also reported that Ram 1500 retail sales rose 42% in the quarter and that total Ram pickup sales were up 34% versus Q3 2025. The Ram 1500 was named the winner in the Large Light Duty Pickup segment in J.D. Power’s 2026 U.S. APEAL study, a recognition Stellantis highlighted alongside the sales gains.

For Michigan enthusiasts, these numbers matter because they reflect shifting buyer preferences that could influence regional dealer inventories, marketing, and service demand for pickup models produced and sold in the state. Next, Stellantis’ year-to-date improvement and the APEAL accolade suggest Ram will aim to sustain momentum into the remainder of 2026, while Jeep’s volume decline may prompt strategic responses from the company.
