Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) has officially been granted a patent for a stunning new multi-faceted, three-dimensional Ram hood ornament. Originally filed on March 13, 2023, and approved on January 14, 2025, the ornament debuted on Chris Stapleton’s custom “Traveller” Ram truck. This unique design merges vintage aesthetics with a contemporary twist, making it a perfect fit for Ram’s legacy of blending innovation and craftsmanship.
The eye-catching hood ornament first appeared on the “Traveller,” a one-of-a-kind 2500 Heavy Duty truck designed in collaboration with Stapleton and Ram’s design team. Inspired by the 1979 Ram Palomino, the ornament reflects the nostalgic charm of classic Ram trucks while incorporating a bold, modern look. Its multi-faceted design enhances the hood’s visual appeal, making it a centerpiece of the truck’s retro-modern style.
While exclusive to the “Traveller,” Ram enthusiasts are already speculating about the ornament’s potential appearance on future production models. It would be a perfect addition to high-end trims like the Limited Longhorn and Limited, giving them a signature design element to stand out even more.
This patent secures the ornament’s design and solidifies Ram’s commitment to innovation while honoring its heritage. Whether or not this ornament becomes a regular feature, it’s clear that Ram knows how to keep fans excited. What do you think? Would you like to see this design on future Ram trucks?
