How much does the 2019 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 10.80% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 10,941 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2019 RAM 1500 earns a 4.7/5 user rating and an 8.8/10 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. The truck also stands out for its comfortable, refined feel and its easy-to-use technology, which makes it appealing if you want a pickup that works well for commuting and weekend use.

The main trade-offs are that advanced safety features are not standard, and some owners felt the ride could be slightly bumpy while the build quality could be better. Even so, the market still shows 34.5% good or great deals, which points to solid shopping opportunities.

Is the 2019 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a truck that feels dependable, with owners repeatedly highlighting its smooth ride, powerful engine, and spacious interior as qualities they can count on. The expert review also emphasizes the Ram’s composed everyday driving manners and substantial-feeling cabin, which supports the impression of a truck built for long-term use.

The performance write-up reinforces that sense of durability by describing the Ram as effortless, smooth over bumpy roads, and composed in traffic. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that condition can vary, so you should pay close attention to maintenance history and how the truck has been used.

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

At 67.4% 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. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on this truck because condition can vary widely across listings, and you’ll want to focus on signs of wear, uneven panel gaps, and any evidence of hard use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tradesman is the work-focused starting point 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. Higher trims add more comfort and convenience, with the Limited bringing the most luxury-oriented equipment and the 12-inch touchscreen available on the Longhorn and Limited.
• Powertrain: The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque, and the lineup also includes a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with an available eTorque setup. The truck uses an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the V8 can tow up to 12,750 pounds when properly equipped.
• Safety package: Standard 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, while other driver-assistance features are optional.
• Infotainment: The truck offers a 12-inch touchscreen in higher trims, with an optional 8.4-inch screen on the Laramie. All screens use Uconnect, and the system is designed to be simple and responsive with physical controls for frequently used functions.
• Fuel efficiency: With 4WD, the conventional V8 returns 15 mpg city, 21 highway, and 17 combined. Rear-wheel drive does slightly better on the highway at 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 value-focused choice if you want the most straightforward work-truck setup. It gives you the core capability and basic tech, but it’s also the trim where you’ll feel the biggest feature gaps versus the more comfort-oriented versions.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more polished look and useful convenience upgrades, including chrome exterior details, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, fog lights, and more available option packages.
• Rebel: Choose this if you want the most aggressive styling and off-road-oriented hardware in the lineup. It adds fender flares, an electronically locking differential, upgraded shock absorbers, a sport performance hood, and skid plates.
• Laramie: This is the comfort step-up trim, with leather seating, heated front seats, LED ambient lighting, driver’s seat memory, and an upgraded instrument panel. It’s a strong pick if you want a more upscale daily driver without going all the way to the top end.
• Longhorn: This trim leans into luxury and convenience with a spray-in bedliner, chrome side steps, a power-release tailgate, wood interior inserts, and a full center console. It’s a good fit if you want a premium-feeling truck with more utility features.
• Limited: This is the top luxury choice, with premium leather front bucket seats, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, power-extending running boards, and the Active-Level four-corner air suspension. It’s the trim to buy if you want the most upscale Ram 1500 experience.

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 looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 10,941 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.80% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 67.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,405, 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 $23,405 sits slightly below last year's $26,238.

That price decline suggests the truck has become more affordable for used buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to price competitively to stand out. If you’re planning to resell later, condition and equipment will matter a lot, especially because shoppers can compare a large number of listings.

The current market still shows meaningful demand, and the truck’s strong owner satisfaction helps support buyer interest. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, 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. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection is standard on the Limited and optional on all but the Tradesman trim, while forward-collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, dynamic cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors are also available.

The main caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, so you’ll want to check trim and options carefully 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:

• 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 67.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.80% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 brings a full redesign with a more refined ride, stronger everyday comfort, and a more upscale cabin.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $27,072, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $23,405 average.
• The EcoDiesel returns and is available across the lineup.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, comfort, and broad market availability, the 2019 is the smarter buy. If you specifically want the returning diesel option and are willing to pay more, the 2020 is worth a look.

How does the 2019 RAM 1500 compare to the 2019 Ford F-150?

Our experts score the 2019 RAM 1500 8.8/10 and the 2019 Ford F-150 8.2/10. The Ram stands out for its more refined ride, upscale cabin feel, and stronger expert scores in performance and form and function. The F-150 has a slightly higher city fuel-economy figure and more listings, but the Ram offers a lower average used price and a stronger overall expert verdict.
