How much does the 2017 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 9.10% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,441 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of trucks to compare.

Is the 2017 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2017 RAM 1500 earns a 4.82/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Drivers consistently praise its comfortable ride, powerful performance, and variety of features, and many also like the spacious interior and advanced technology. For you, that means this truck fits especially well if you want pickup capability with a more comfortable daily-driving feel. With 30.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.82/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback also points to a truck that feels dependable in everyday use, with praise centered on its comfortable ride and strong performance. That kind of owner confidence matters if you want a used truck you can count on over time.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure a specific truck has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by hard use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 RAM 1500?

At 65.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean trucks from those with accident records. After that, prioritize a thorough inspection of the body, frame, and interior condition, since those areas can reveal how the truck was used and repaired. It also makes sense to focus on signs of heavy wear, because condition can vary a lot from one used pickup to another.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 RAM 1500?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,441 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.10% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 65.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $19,169, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 RAM 1500's resale value?

The current average of $19,169 sits slightly below last year's $21,088.

That decline suggests the market has become a bit softer, which can work against you if you plan to sell soon. On the other hand, it may help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. If you keep the truck in strong condition and avoid accident history, you give yourself a better chance of holding value more effectively.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.82/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2017 RAM 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 65.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.10% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.82/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $17,687, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $19,169 average.
• It leans hard into comfort and luxury.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around shopping case, the 2017 is the better primary target because it combines solid owner satisfaction with a softer price trend and decent deal availability. If your main goal is to spend less up front, the 2016 is the better secondary path, especially if you value its more luxury-focused character.
