Dodge is an American car brand. It is currently owned by Chrysler. It was founded by two brothers in 1900. After the brothers died Chrysler bought it. They have made many iconic cars and trucks, including the Dodge Viper and Dodge Charger and the Dodge Ram pickup. They also were the nameplate for Chrysler's truck brands; however, the Dodge name was later retained solely for sports cars, with trucks being branded solely as Ram.
