How much does the 2015 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.01% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,651 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare. If you find a listing below $16,231.73, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 a good car?

With a user rating of 3.85/5 and an expert rating of 7.67/10, the 2015 RAM 1500 lands in the strong-but-not-perfect zone for used-truck shoppers.

Owners consistently praise its powerful performance, luxury features, and comfort, and many also like its towing efficiency and enjoyable driving experience. The truck’s broad appeal fits the overview well: you can shop it as a workhorse, a family hauler, or a more upscale daily driver depending on trim and equipment. That versatility is a big part of why it remains compelling in the full-size pickup segment.

The market also shows 28.2% good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 reliable?

The 2015 RAM 1500 is positioned as a capable, comfortable full-size pickup, and the owner feedback points to a truck you can count on for strong performance and long-haul usefulness.

Owners describe it as reliable in the sense that it delivers powerful performance, towing efficiency, and a comfortable driving experience over time. The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the V6 and 8-speed automatic are capable and entirely unnoticeable, which is a good sign for everyday dependability. The EcoDiesel can be a smart long-term choice if you drive enough to benefit from its efficiency, but its higher upfront cost means ownership math matters.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that reported engine issues and rust can turn a good truck into an expensive one if you skip a thorough inspection.

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 confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage truck or one that has been used for towing. Focus on body condition, rust, and signs of wear that could point to harder-than-average use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The truck ranges from work-focused trims to luxury-oriented versions, and the base end is more spartan. Less expensive trims can come with simpler systems, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.6-liter V6, a 5.7-liter Hemi V8, or a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. The V6 is capable and efficient, the Hemi brings stronger towing, and the EcoDiesel delivers the best mileage but costs more upfront.
• Safety package: Standard safety equipment includes airbags, pretensioning seatbelts, antilock brakes, brake assist, and electronic stability control with trailer sway control. Blind-spot monitoring, backup camera, and parking sensors are optional on most models, 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. Lower trims can have more basic systems.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 returns 17 mpg city/25 highway in rear-wheel drive and 16/23 in 4-wheel drive. The Hemi returns 15/22 in rear-wheel drive and 15/21 in 4-wheel drive. The EcoDiesel returns 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:

• Base trim: The Tradesman and Express are the most work-focused choices, but they skip much of the comfort and tech that make the Ram appealing. Lower trims can also come with more basic infotainment.
• Sweet-spot trim: The Big Horn/Lone Star is the best all-around pick if you want a consumer-friendly mix of content without jumping into luxury pricing.
• Premium/top trim: The Laramie Limited is the most upscale choice, with the richest cabin presentation and the strongest luxury appeal.
• Off-road trim: The Outdoorsman is worth a look if you want a more specialized setup, but it’s not the best fit for most daily drivers.

The safety package is strongest when you add the available driver-assistance and parking features, since several of them are not standard on lower trims.

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

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,651 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.01% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $16,231.73, 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 $16,229 sits slightly below last year's $17,453.

That price movement suggests the truck has become more approachable for used buyers, but it also means sellers may need to be realistic on asking price. If you own one, especially a well-kept example with desirable equipment, condition and mileage will matter more than ever in protecting value. Trucks with clean history and strong maintenance records should still be easier to move than rougher examples.

Is the 2015 RAM 1500 safe?

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration rated most 1500s with four-star ratings in overall safety, including a four-star rating in front crashes and a five-star rating in side impacts.

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

The Ram’s safety story is helped by a standard suite of passive features that includes airbags, pretensioning seatbelts, antilock brakes, and brake assist. Electronic stability control with trailer sway control is also standard, and that’s especially valuable if you tow. Optional blind-spot monitoring, a backup camera, and parking sensors add useful everyday protection, though some of those features are not standard on lower trims.

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:

• 28.2% 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 7.01% compared with last year.
• The 2015 stands out for its strong mix of comfort, performance, and versatility.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $17,914, the 2016 costs more than the current year's $16,229 average.
• It adds a more luxurious Limited trim and available air suspension.

The bottom line: The 2015 is the better value if you want a capable, comfortable Ram 1500 at a lower entry price. If you’re willing to spend more for added luxury and a more upscale feel, the 2016 is the stronger upgrade path. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2015 remains the smarter buy as long as you verify history and condition carefully.
