Kuniskis, who retired from the automaker earlier this year, will once again lead the company's Ram Trucks brand, according to two sources familiar with the decision. A main lever is for the Ram brand to have its CEO singularly focused on that brand," the company said in an emailed statement confirming the appointment. Kuniskis, who has overseen several of the carmaker's brands in North America, had led the company's Ram and Dodge brands before retiring. Kuniskis is arguably best known for leading Dodge for most of the last decade or so. Kuniskis' return was announced in conjunction with several other changes for the automaker's North American operations.

That minivan, the Pacifica, is struggling, along with most of parent company Stellantis’ US models. Stellantis’ problems just led to the sudden departure of CEO Carlos Travares this week and a search for both a new boss and answers to its problems. But there are costs to keeping the Chrysler brand, including splitting scarce marketing dollars with the healthier brands, and relatively little downside to shutting it down. That wouldn’t be the case in closing Chrysler, since virtually every Chrysler dealer also sells Jeep-, Ram- and Dodge-branded vehicles. But the vehicles in the pipeline being cited by Ostermann are not destined to be Chrysler models.
