How much does the 2015 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.34% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,618 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 a good car?

With a user rating of 3.9/5 and an expert rating of 7.7/10, the 2015 RAM 1500 lands in the solidly appealing range for used-truck shoppers. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Safety.

Owners most often praise its comfort, luxury features, and powerful performance, and many also like its towing ability and enjoyable driving experience. The overview backs that up by emphasizing its interior comfort, handsome looks, and broad cabin range, which gives you flexibility whether you want a work truck or something more upscale.

The market also looks reasonably accessible, with 31.2% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 reliable?

The 2015 RAM 1500 is presented as a truck that has aged well and still holds up against newer competition. Owners describe it as powerful, comfortable, and enjoyable to drive, and many also point to its towing efficiency and long-term appeal.

The expert evaluation adds that the V6 and 8-speed automatic are highly capable and “entirely unnoticeable,” which is a strong sign of smooth, dependable operation. The cost-effectiveness discussion also notes that modestly equipped versions are the best value, which matters if you want a truck that’s easier to live with over time.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that some listings may bring engine issues or rust, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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

At 65% 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 thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has higher mileage or visible wear. Focus on body condition, rust, and evidence of past repairs, and make sure the features you care about are working properly before you commit.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin range stretches from work truck to luxe cruiser, and the base end of the lineup is much more spartan than the higher trims. The 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen is optional in most trims and standard above the Outdoorsman, so lower trims can feel much more basic.
• Powertrain: The 3.6-liter V6 makes 305 hp and is paired with an 8-speed automatic in most versions. You can also find the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with 395 hp, and the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel is the efficiency-focused choice, though it carries a steep price premium.
• Safety package: The truck includes a standard electronic stability control system with trailer sway control, plus passive safety equipment such as airbags, pretensioning seatbelts, antilock brakes, and brake assist. Blind-spot monitoring, a backup camera, and front and rear parking sensors are available, with parking sensors standard on Laramie Editions.
• Infotainment: Most trims can be fitted with an optional 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, and the truck also offers a 7-inch multifunction instrument display. Lower trims can have more basic systems, so check the exact setup carefully.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 returns 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway in rear-wheel drive, while the EcoDiesel reaches 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in rear-wheel drive. The Hemi V8 drops to 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 choice, so it makes sense if you want the most basic path into the lineup and care more about utility than amenities.
• Express: This sits just above the Tradesman and keeps the truck in affordable, no-frills territory.
• HFE: This trim is the efficiency-focused pick, and it stands out because it offers the diesel engine and is described as the highway-mpg leader.
• SLT: This is a popular pick if you want a more mainstream balance of equipment and value.
• Big Horn/Lone Star: This is the consumer volume model and adds a few more content upgrades over the SLT, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers.
• Outdoorsman: This trim adds more capability-oriented appeal, but it also marks the point where the 8.4-inch Uconnect becomes standard above it rather than across the whole lineup.
• Sport: This trim leans into 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 rides on 22-inch wheels.
• Laramie: This is where the truck starts leaning into luxury, with more upscale appeal and standard parking sensors.
• Laramie Longhorn: This is the more premium luxury step if you want a richer cabin feel.
• Laramie Limited: This is the top luxury trim and the most attention-getting choice if you want the most upscale version of the truck.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,618 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.34% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 65.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $15,695, 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 $15,695 sits slightly below last year's $16,938.

That price movement suggests the truck has softened enough to help you buy in at a more favorable point than a year ago. If you plan to sell later, you should expect resale value to depend heavily on trim, condition, mileage, and whether the truck has a clean history.

Because the market has already moved down, a well-kept example may hold up better than a rough one. If you buy carefully now, you reduce the chance of taking an extra hit when it’s time to resell.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 safe?

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

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

The truck’s standard safety equipment includes airbags, pretensioning seatbelts, antilock brakes, brake assist, and electronic stability control with trailer sway control. Blind-spot monitoring, a backup camera, and front and rear parking sensors are also available, with parking sensors standard on Laramie Editions.

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:

• 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 65% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.34% compared with last year.
• It offers a broad trim range and strong comfort-focused appeal.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $17,395, the 2016 costs more than the current year's $15,695 average.
• It adds a more luxurious Limited trim and a stronger upscale focus.

The bottom line: If you want the better value and a wider pool of lower-priced listings, the 2015 is the smarter starting point. If you’re willing to pay more for a more luxurious feel, the 2016 is the better upgrade path.

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 is the stronger overall pick, but the Ram remains compelling if you care more about comfort and a more upscale cabin feel. The Ram also brings a stronger average used price advantage, while the Ford offers more listings and a slightly higher accident-free share.
