How much does the 2015 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.47% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,746 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 a good car?

The 2015 RAM 1500 is a strong pick if you want a full-size truck that leans into comfort, capability, and upscale flexibility. It earns a 3.85/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating, which fits a truck that appeals to a wide range of buyers rather than just one type.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its powerful performance, luxury features, and comfort, and many also like its towing efficiency and enjoyable driving experience. The overview also points to its interior comfort, handsome styling, and broad cabin range, so you can shop it as a work truck, a comfortable daily driver, or a more upscale pickup depending on trim and equipment.

Only 29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is selective even if the truck itself is appealing.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 reliable?

The 2015 RAM 1500 is presented as a truck that has aged well and can still hold up against newer competition. Owners describe it as powerful and enjoyable to drive, and some specifically value its towing efficiency and comfort over long-term use.

The expert evaluation also calls out the diesel powertrain as smooth and competent, and says there are few faults to find with the V6 and the transmission. The cost-effectiveness discussion adds that the truck can be a good value-for-money proposition, especially in modestly equipped form.

At the same time, owner feedback mentions engine issues, rust, and some malfunctioning features, so long-term ownership risk is worth taking seriously on a used example.

What should I look for when buying a used 2015 RAM 1500?

At 64.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has higher mileage or visible wear. Focus on body condition, rust, and evidence of past repairs, since owner feedback specifically raises concerns about rust and engine issues. It also makes sense to test every feature you care about, because some owners have reported malfunctioning equipment.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The truck ranges from work-focused trims to luxury-oriented versions, and the base end is much more spartan than the higher trims. The cabin can be configured from work truck simple to luxe cruiser, so you should pay close attention to how much comfort and convenience equipment the specific truck actually has.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes a capable 3.6-liter V6, a larger 5.7-liter Hemi V8, and a smooth 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. The diesel is the efficiency play, but it carries a steep price premium, so it makes the most sense if you plan to drive a lot and keep the truck a long time.
• Safety package: Standard safety equipment includes airbags, pretensioning seatbelts, antilock brakes, brake assist, and electronic stability control with trailer sway control. Blind-spot monitoring is optional, and front and rear parking sensors are optional on most models but standard on Laramie Editions.
• Infotainment: An optional 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen is available in most trims and is standard above the Outdoorsman. Less expensive trims can have more basic systems, so check whether the truck has the screen and connectivity setup you want.
• Fuel efficiency: The 3.6-liter V6 returns 17 mpg city/25 highway in rear-wheel drive and 16/23 in 4-wheel drive. The 5.7-liter Hemi returns 15/22 in rear-wheel drive and 15/21 in 4-wheel drive. The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel returns 20/28 in rear-wheel drive and 19/27 in 4-wheel drive, with the HFE diesel reaching 21/29.

Which 2015 RAM 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2015 RAM 1500 is offered in 10 trim levels: Tradesman, Express, HFE, SLT, Big Horn/Lone Star, Outdoorsman, Sport, R/T, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and Laramie Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the work-site fleet-oriented choice, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-frills entry point and care most about utility.
• Express: This sits just above the Tradesman and is still aimed at buyers who want a straightforward truck without moving far up the comfort ladder.
• HFE: This trim is the efficiency-focused pick, and for 2015 it offers the diesel engine that can reach 29 mpg on the highway.
• SLT: This is a popular pick for buyers and a sensible middle-ground choice if you want a more balanced mix of equipment and price.
• Big Horn/Lone Star: This is the consumer volume model and the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a few more content upgrades above the SLT without jumping into luxury pricing.
• Outdoorsman: This trim is aimed at niche truck buyers who want a more specialized setup.
• Sport: This is the sportier-looking choice, and it also serves as the base for the new-for-2015 R/T option.
• R/T: This is the performance-flavored option within the Sport family, and it stands apart as the most characterful choice if you want a more aggressive setup.
• Laramie: This is one of the luxury trims and is a strong fit if you want a more upscale cabin and more comfort-focused equipment.
• Laramie Longhorn: This is another luxury-oriented trim for buyers who want a more premium-feeling truck.
• Laramie Limited: This is the top luxury choice and the most upscale version in the lineup.

The safety package includes standard passive safety equipment, trailer sway control, and available blind-spot monitoring, while parking sensors are standard on Laramie Editions.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2015 RAM 1500?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,746 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.47% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 64.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $15,944, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2015 RAM 1500's resale value?

The current average of $15,964 sits slightly below last year's $17,253.

That decline suggests the truck has softened in the market, which can work in your favor if you're buying now. For a future seller, it means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim rather than assuming the truck will hold its price automatically.

Because the year-round range is fairly tight, well-kept examples should still be easier to position than rougher trucks. If you maintain the truck carefully and keep documentation, you’ll be in a better spot when it’s time to sell.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 safe?

The 2015 RAM 1500 earns four-star ratings in frontal crash and overall safety, and five-star ratings in side impacts from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The safety content highlights a standard suite of passive safety features, including airbags, pretensioning seatbelts, antilock brakes, and brake assist. It also calls out trailer sway control through standard electronic stability control, plus optional blind-spot monitoring and optional front and rear parking sensors on most models, with those sensors standard on Laramie Editions.

The main caveat is that some useful safety tech is optional rather than standard on lower trims, so you should verify the exact equipment on any used truck you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2015 RAM 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2015 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2015 if:

• 29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 64.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.47% compared with last year.
• The 2015 stands out for its interior comfort, handsome looks, and broad powertrain range.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $17,671, the 2016 costs more than the current year's $15,964 average.
• It adds a more luxurious Limited trim and an even stronger upscale focus.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2015 if you want the better price and are comfortable shopping carefully for condition and history. If you want a more luxury-forward Ram and can spend more, the 2016 is the better path.
