CarGurus Analysis: 2018 RAM 1500
Summary
With 9,695 currently listed for sale and an average price of $20,259, 30.9% of 2018 RAM 1500s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 RAM 1500 4.64 / 5 stars.
67.7% of 2018 RAM 1500 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 RAM 1500 stands out for the way it blends pickup utility with a more comfortable, car-like driving feel. Ram’s coil-spring rear suspension helped give the truck a smoother ride, and the model also built on the brand’s reputation for useful storage, infotainment functionality, and active-safety features. By 2018, it had also gained Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, which made the cabin feel more modern and easier to live with.
It was also a truck with real breadth. Depending on configuration, buyers could choose single, quad, or crew cab layouts, along with a range of beds and engines. The available 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 made 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, while the 5.7-liter V8 delivered 390 horsepower and 407 pound-feet of torque. The truck could tow a maximum of 10,250 pounds, and the 2018 model year kept the Ram 1500’s appeal rooted in capability as much as comfort.
For shoppers, the 2018 RAM 1500’s biggest strengths are its roomy cabin, quality interior materials, and strong value proposition. Owners also tend to praise its comfort, features, power, and towing ability. Its main drawbacks are that the base engine in early models is inefficient, tow ratings tend to lag the competition, and advanced driver aids are only offered on higher trims.

How much does the 2018 RAM 1500 cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $20,271 |
| Year-Round Low | $20,270 |
| Year-Round High | $21,798 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $21,793 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −6.98% |
Prices have softened 6.98% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 9,681 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.
Is the 2018 RAM 1500 a good car?
Yes — 4.64/5 is a strong user rating for this model year. Owners consistently praise the comfort, features, value for money, power, and towing capacity, and they also like the roomy cabin and upscale interior feel. That lines up well if you want a pickup that works as both a daily driver and a capable truck, especially since the 2018 model also added Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for easier everyday use. With 31.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find a competitive price.
Is the 2018 RAM 1500 reliable?
Owners rate it 4.64/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback points to a truck people feel good about keeping, with repeated praise for comfort, value, and overall dependability. Mentions of trouble-free ownership are not universal, but the broader sentiment suggests this is a model many buyers can count on for regular use. For used shoppers, that means long-term ownership risk looks manageable if you verify condition carefully and avoid neglected examples.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 RAM 1500?
At 67.6% 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 examples from trucks with past damage. After that, prioritize a thorough inspection of body panels, frame areas, and signs of uneven wear, since condition matters more when accident history is part of the market mix. It also makes sense to focus on how the truck drives and whether the cabin features and controls work as expected, because comfort and usability are major reasons people choose this model.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 RAM 1500?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on standout listings.
- Deal availability: 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 9,681 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.98% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 67.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $20,270, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 RAM 1500's resale value?
The current average of $20,271 sits slightly below last year's $21,793.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more affordably now but may also limit near-term upside if you plan to resell soon. For future sellers, a softer market means condition, mileage, and equipment will matter even more when it comes time to set a competitive asking price. Trucks that present well and have strong ownership appeal tend to hold buyer interest better than average.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.64/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 RAM 1500 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 67.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.98% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.64/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $24,506, the 2019 costs more than the current year's $20,271 average.
- It adds more comfort and refinement for daily driving.
The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2018 is the stronger buy because pricing has eased and deal availability is solid. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer-feeling truck with extra polish, the 2019 is the better secondary path for buyers who prioritize refinement over price.
