How much does the 2015 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.66% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,471 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 a good car?

With a 3.9/5 user rating and an 7.7/10 expert rating, the 2015 RAM 1500 lands in appealing territory if you want a full-size truck that feels more polished than purely utilitarian. 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 a truck that can be configured from work truck to luxe cruiser, so it fits both basic capability shoppers and buyers who want a more upscale cabin.

Only 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is selective rather than flooded with bargains.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 reliable?

The 2015 RAM 1500 is presented as a truck that has aged well, and owners often describe it as powerful, comfortable, and enjoyable to live with. User feedback also points to dependable-feeling performance and long-term appeal, especially for buyers who value towing and a refined driving experience.

The expert summary reinforces that the truck has aged well into its current life cycle, and the performance notes describe the V6 and 8-speed automatic as “entirely unnoticeable,” which is a good sign for smooth day-to-day operation. The cost-effectiveness notes also frame a modestly equipped Ram 1500 as a strong value proposition.

That said, used buyers should still plan for age-related ownership risk, especially if maintenance history is incomplete or the truck has seen hard use.

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

At 63.5% 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 on trucks that show signs of heavy towing, rust, or inconsistent maintenance. Pay close attention to overall condition, because owner feedback mentions engine issues, rust, and some feature malfunctions.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The truck spans a wide range from work-focused trims to luxury-oriented versions, with the base end described as more spartan and the upper trims adding more comfort and convenience. The biggest gap at the lower end is that less expensive trims can feel much more basic than the higher-spec models.
• Powertrain: You can choose from a 3.6-liter V6, a 5.7-liter Hemi V8, or a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. The V6 is described as capable and the EcoDiesel as smooth and efficient, while the V8 brings stronger towing ability.
• Safety package: A standard passive-safety suite includes airbags, pretensioning seatbelts, antilock brakes, and brake assist. Optional blind-spot-monitoring warning lights and a backup camera are highlighted, while front and rear parking sensors are optional on most models and standard on Laramie Editions.
• Infotainment: An optional 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen is available in most trims and standard above the Outdoorsman. Less expensive trims can have more basic systems, so feature content varies a lot by trim.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 is rated at 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway in rear-wheel drive, while the EcoDiesel is rated at 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in rear-wheel drive. The 5.7-liter V8 returns 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway in rear-wheel drive.

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 path into the lineup and care most about basic truck duty.
• Express: This sits just above the Tradesman and keeps the focus on value and utility rather than luxury or extra convenience.
• HFE: This is the efficiency-minded pick, and it stands out because it offers the diesel engine and is the trim tied to the 29-mpg highway figure mentioned in the lineup discussion.
• SLT: This is described as a popular pick, so it’s a sensible middle-ground choice if you want a more mainstream balance of equipment and price.
• Big Horn/Lone Star: This is called the consumer volume model and gets a few more content upgrades than the SLT, making it the best-value trim for many shoppers.
• Outdoorsman: This trim sits above the mainstream volume models and is part of the path to the standard 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen.
• Sport: This trim is aimed at buyers who want a more distinctive appearance and includes the R/T option as part of the Sport trim.
• R/T: This is the sportier choice in the lineup and comes with 22-inch wheels, so it suits buyers who want a more aggressive look.
• Laramie: This is one of the luxury trims and is aimed at buyers who want a more upscale cabin and weekend-friendly polish.
• 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 is the most upscale option in the lineup.

Front and rear parking sensors are standard on Laramie Editions, while they remain optional on most other models.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market rather than a deep-discount moment.

• Deal availability: 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,471 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.66% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 63.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $15,558, 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 $15,558 sits slightly below last year's $16,849.

That softer pricing suggests the truck has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help you as a buyer today. For a future seller, it means resale value may be steadier if you buy well and keep the truck in strong condition.

Because the market has moved down 7.66% year over year, a clean, well-maintained example should hold up better than a rough one. Trucks with strong service records and desirable equipment are likely to be easier to move later.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 safe?

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

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

The safety content highlights a standard passive-safety suite that includes 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 warning lights and a backup camera that’s especially useful in a truck this large.

Front and rear parking sensors are optional on most models and standard on Laramie Editions. The main caveat is that the truck’s size is a major part of its safety story, so visibility and parking aids matter a lot in daily use.

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:

• 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 63.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.66% compared with last year.
• The 2015 stands out for its handsome looks, comfortable cabin, and broad powertrain range.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $17,179, the 2016 costs more than the current year's $15,558 average.
• It adds a more luxury-focused Limited trim and an available air suspension.

The bottom line: If you want the better value and a wide range of trims, the 2015 is the smarter starting point. If your priority is a more upscale, luxury-leaning truck and you’re willing to pay more, the 2016 is the stronger alternative.

How does the 2015 RAM 1500 compare to the 2015 Ford F-150?

Our experts score the 2015 RAM 1500 7.7/10 and the 2015 Ford F-150 8.8/10. The Ford comes out ahead overall, but the Ram remains compelling if you care more about comfort, style, and a more upscale-feeling cabin. The Ram also offers a stronger used-price advantage, while the F-150 has more listings and a slightly higher accident-free share.
