How much does the 2019 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 8.75% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,709 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 4.73/5 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 and overall refinement, which fits its role as a commuter-friendly full-size pickup.

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 do daily-driver duty and work-truck duty without feeling stripped down.

The 2019 RAM 1500 is aimed at buyers who want a more polished full-size pickup for commuting, family use, and everyday hauling. Good and great deals account for 31.9% of listings, so there is still 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 points to a truck that feels dependable in daily use, with praise centered on its smooth ride, powerful engine, and spacious cabin. That kind of feedback usually matters most when you want a used truck you can count on for commuting and regular hauling.

The expert review also emphasizes how composed and effortless the truck feels in everyday driving, which supports the impression of solid long-term usability. If you’re buying used, the biggest ownership risk is making sure prior use and maintenance history match the truck’s comfort-first reputation.

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

At 69.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has been used for towing or heavy work. Focus on body condition, interior wear, and signs that the truck’s comfort and tech features still function properly.

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, black bumpers, steel wheels, a Class III trailer hitch, and a 5-inch touchscreen. Big Horn adds chrome exterior details, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, fog lights, and more available option packages, while Laramie brings leather seating, heated front seats, LED ambient lighting, and a 7-inch TFT instrument panel. Longhorn adds a spray-in bedliner, chrome side steps, a power-release tailgate, wood trim, and premium interior panels, while Limited adds luxury touches like premium leather, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, power-extending running boards, and the available 12-inch touchscreen.
• Powertrain: The base 3.6-liter V6 uses eTorque and makes 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, while the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 makes 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, with eTorque available on that engine too. Both pair with an 8-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive or available 4-wheel drive.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes a full array of airbags, an electronic parking brake, 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 optional.
• Infotainment: The Tradesman comes with a 5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free calling, and two front USB ports. Higher trims can get the 8.4-inch screen, and Longhorn and Limited are available with a 12-inch portrait touchscreen. The system uses Uconnect software, and the larger screens are customizable.
• Fuel efficiency: The conventional V8 with 4WD returns 15 mpg city, 21 highway, and 17 combined, while rear-wheel drive gets 22 mpg highway.

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 straightforward choice if you want the lowest-cost entry point and a truck that stays focused on work duties. It brings the core hardware and basic tech, but it is also the trim where you feel the biggest feature gap versus the nicer versions.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more polished look, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, fog lights, and more available option packages without jumping all the way to luxury pricing.
• Rebel: Choose this if you want the more aggressive styling, locking differential, upgraded shock absorbers, and skid plates that give it a more rugged personality.
• Laramie: This is the comfort-focused sweet spot if you want leather seating, heated front seats, LED ambient lighting, and a more upscale cabin without going to the top end.
• Longhorn: Pick this if you want a more premium truck with a spray-in bedliner, chrome side steps, a power-release tailgate, wood trim, and a more upscale interior presentation.
• Limited: This is the luxury pick, with premium leather, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, power-extending running boards, and the available 12-inch touchscreen.

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 for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,709 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.75% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 69.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,342, 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 $24,342 sits slightly below last year's $26,677.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may temper what a future seller can expect. If you buy at the right price now, you may have less depreciation pressure than someone who bought when prices were higher.

The truck’s strong owner satisfaction and broad appeal should still support demand when it’s time to sell. Well-kept examples with desirable trims and clean history should remain easier to move than neglected trucks.

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 features include 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 optional.

That means you should pay close attention to trim and options if safety tech is a priority. The base truck covers the essentials, but the more advanced driver-assistance features are not standard across the lineup.

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:

• 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 69.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.75% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.73/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 brings a full redesign with a more refined ride, more comfort, and a more polished cabin.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $27,996, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $24,342 average.
• It adds the EcoDiesel engine across the lineup, giving you a rare diesel option on every trim.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2019 is the stronger buy because prices are lower and the truck already delivers the redesigned comfort and refinement. If you specifically want the EcoDiesel option, it makes sense to stretch to the 2020 and shop for the diesel-equipped trim that fits your needs.
