How much does the 2019 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 8.50% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,712 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for you to compare trims and prices.

Is the 2019 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2019 RAM 1500 earns a 4.73/5 user rating and an 8.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Performance and Form and function.

Owners consistently praise the smooth ride, powerful engine, and spacious, well-appointed interior. They also point to the truck’s comfort, features, and overall refinement as major strengths.

The main trade-offs are that advanced safety features are not standard and build quality could be better. That matters most if you want a truck that can serve as both a daily driver and a workhorse, because this Ram leans hard into commuter-truck comfort and polish.

With 31.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.73/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary also points to a truck that feels dependable in everyday use, with praise centered on comfort, power, and a well-rounded ownership experience. The expert review reinforces that sense of durability by describing the truck as smooth, composed, and easy to live with over rough roads and in traffic.

You should still pay close attention to maintenance history and condition, since used-truck ownership risk rises when prior use and upkeep are unclear.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 RAM 1500?

At 69.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if the truck has any accident history or signs of heavy use. Focus on body condition, alignment, interior wear, and evidence of how the truck was used, since those clues can tell you a lot about long-term care.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tradesman is the work-focused trim with heavy-duty shock absorbers, a five-link coil-spring rear suspension, a 5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free calling, and two front USB ports. The Big Horn adds chrome exterior details, 18-inch cast-aluminum wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a manual rear window, fog lights, and steering-wheel-mounted radio controls. The Rebel adds an electronically locking differential, upgraded shock absorbers, dark accents, a sport performance hood, and skid plates. The Laramie adds power side mirrors with integrated turn signals, upgraded LED taillights, a 7-inch TFT instrument panel, remote keyless entry, LED ambient interior lighting, driver’s seat memory, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and leather seating with heated front seats. The Longhorn adds a spray-in bedliner, chrome side steps, a power-release tailgate, wood interior inserts, and premium interior door trim panels. The Limited adds the Active-Level four-corner air suspension, power-extending running boards, premium leather front bucket seats, and heated/ventilated front and rear seats. The best-value trim is the Big Horn if you want a stronger feature mix without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• Powertrain: The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque, and the available 5.7-liter Hemi V8 also offers eTorque. Both engines pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive or available 4WD. The V8 with proper towing equipment can tow up to 12,750 pounds, and the truck is tuned for smooth, easy everyday driving.
• Safety package: Standard safety equipment includes a full array of airbags, an electronic parking brake, integrated trailer-sway control, trailer braking control, traction control, hill-start assist, and a reversing camera with dynamic guidelines. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection is standard on the Limited and optional on all but the Tradesman trim. Other available driver-assistance features include forward-collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, dynamic cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors.
• Infotainment: The Tradesman comes with a 5-inch touchscreen, while higher trims can get an 8.4-inch screen or a massive 12-inch portrait touchscreen. The system uses Uconnect software, and the larger screens support a customizable layout with app-style shortcuts and physical controls for common functions.
• Fuel efficiency: The conventional V8 with 4WD returns 15 mpg city, 21 highway, and 17 combined. Rear-wheel drive improves highway mileage to 22 mpg.

Which 2019 RAM 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2019 RAM 1500 is offered in 6 trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn, Rebel, Laramie, Longhorn, Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the most work-focused choice, and it gives you the core truck hardware plus a basic touchscreen and useful towing equipment. Buy it if you want the lowest entry point and care more about utility than luxury.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more polished look, better convenience features, and more flexibility for options without jumping into luxury pricing.
• Rebel: This is the one to choose if you want the most aggressive appearance and the off-road-oriented hardware described in the review, including skid plates and an electronically locking differential.
• Laramie: This is the comfort-focused sweet spot if you want a more upscale cabin, better lighting, memory seating, and a stronger tech presentation.
• Longhorn: This trim leans into premium materials and convenience, with a spray-in bedliner, wood trim, chrome details, and a power-release tailgate.
• Limited: This is the luxury pick, with the most upscale seating, the available air suspension, and the richest feature set.

Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection is standard on the Limited and optional on all but the Tradesman trim.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 RAM 1500?

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

• Deal availability: 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,712 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.50% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 69.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,506, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 RAM 1500's resale value?

The current average of $24,506 sits slightly below last year's $26,783.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer now, but it also means a future seller may need to price competitively to stand out. If the market continues to favor shoppers, resale values may stay under pressure unless your truck has especially desirable equipment, strong condition, and clean history.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.73/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 RAM 1500 safe?

The 2019 RAM 1500 earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes a full array of airbags, an electronic parking brake, integrated trailer-sway control, trailer braking control, traction control, hill-start assist, and a reversing camera with dynamic guidelines. The available driver-assistance suite adds forward-collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, dynamic cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection on higher trims.

A key caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, so you need to pay close attention to trim and options if driver assistance matters to you.

Should I buy a 2019 RAM 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 69.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.50% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.73/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 brings a major redesign with more comfort, refinement, and a much larger available touchscreen.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $28,197, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $24,506 average.
• It adds the EcoDiesel engine across the trim range.

The bottom line: If you want the better value and the redesigned truck’s comfort-first character, the 2019 is the smarter buy. If diesel availability matters to you, the 2020 is the better path, but you’ll pay more for it.
