How much does the 2015 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.17% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,622 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 solid pick if you want a full-size pickup that leans toward comfort, capability, and upscale flexibility, and its 3.85/5 user rating supports that balanced appeal. It also earns a 7.67/10 expert rating.

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

Owners commonly praise its powerful performance, luxury features, and comfort, and many also like its towing ability and enjoyable driving experience. The overview points to a truck that can be configured from work-truck simple to luxe cruiser, so it fits you well if you want one pickup that can cover daily driving, hauling, and a more premium feel depending on trim.

28.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 reliable?

The 2015 RAM 1500 is presented as a truck that has aged well, with a powertrain lineup that includes smooth, capable options and a cabin built for long-term versatility. Owners describe it as powerful and comfortable, and many say they appreciate how efficiently it tows and how enjoyable it is to drive.

The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the V6 and 8-speed automatic are “entirely unnoticeable,” which is a strong sign of smooth, trouble-free operation in normal use. The diesel is described as a good option if you want fewer fill-ups and plan to keep the truck a long time, though its higher purchase price matters.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that some listings may already have wear-related issues, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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

At 64.1% 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 you’re considering a higher-mileage truck or one with a lot of equipment. Focus on signs of wear, prior body repair, and whether the truck’s comfort and convenience features still work as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from work-truck basics to luxury-oriented versions, and the lower trims are the most likely to feel sparse on equipment. The cabin can be configured from simple to upscale, so you should compare how much comfort and convenience you get before paying for a higher trim.
• 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 smooth, the Hemi adds stronger towing ability, and the EcoDiesel is the efficiency play if you can justify the higher upfront cost.
• Safety package: The truck includes a standard set of passive safety features, plus electronic stability control with trailer sway control. Blind-spot monitoring, backup camera, and front and rear parking sensors are available, with parking sensors 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 check whether the truck you’re considering has the screen and features you want.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 is rated at 17 mpg city/25 highway in rear-wheel drive or 16/23 in 4-wheel drive. The Hemi returns 15/22 in rear-wheel drive or 15/21 in 4-wheel drive, while the EcoDiesel reaches 20/28 in rear-wheel drive and 19/27 in 4-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 more about utility than extras.
• Express: Step up here if you want a little more presence than the Tradesman without moving into the more content-heavy trims.
• HFE: This is the efficiency-focused trim, and it stands out because it offers the diesel engine and is the best fit if fuel economy matters most.
• SLT: This is a popular pick and a sensible middle-ground choice if you want a well-rounded truck without chasing luxury pricing.
• 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 over the SLT without jumping too far upmarket.
• Outdoorsman: Choose this if you want a more specialized truck personality and are comfortable with a trim that sits above the mainstream volume picks.
• Sport: This trim is aimed at buyers who want a more distinctive look and feel, and it also serves as the home for the R/T option.
• R/T: This is the performance-flavored option in the lineup, so it suits you if you want the sportiest character available here.
• Laramie: This is where the truck starts leaning clearly into luxury, making it a strong choice if comfort and upscale features matter.
• Laramie Longhorn: Pick this if you want a more premium, dressed-up take on the Ram 1500 with a stronger luxury focus.
• Laramie Limited: This is the top luxury choice and the one to consider if you want the most upscale version of the truck.

The safety package note to keep in mind is that blind-spot monitoring is optional, while parking sensors are standard on Laramie Editions.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 28.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,622 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.17% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 64.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $15,975, 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 $15,990 sits slightly below last year's $17,226.

That price movement suggests the truck has softened enough to help you buy more selectively today. If you’re a future seller, it also means your resale outcome will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim rather than broad market momentum alone.

Because the year-round range is fairly tight, a well-kept truck with desirable equipment should still stand out. A cleaner history and stronger feature set should help you protect value better than a basic or heavily worn example.

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 package includes a standard set of passive features such as airbags, pretensioning seatbelts, antilock brakes, and brake assist. Trailer sway control is built into the standard electronic stability control, and backup camera availability is especially important in a truck this large. Blind-spot monitoring is optional, and front and rear parking sensors are optional on most models but 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:

• 28.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 64.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.17% compared with last year.
• The 2015 stands out for its interior comfort, strong chassis, and broad trim range.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $17,687, the 2016 costs more than the current year's $15,990 average.
• It adds a more luxurious Limited trim and an even stronger upscale focus.

The bottom line: Choose the 2015 if you want the better value and a wide range of configurations, especially if you’re shopping for comfort and capability without paying newer-model pricing. Consider the 2016 if you want a more luxury-forward Ram and are willing to spend more for that upgrade.
