How much does the 2020 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 8.46% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 13,598 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2020 RAM 1500 earns a 4.7/5 user rating and a 7.7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its luxurious feel, smooth ride, and spacious interior, and many describe it as a luxury truck. The user feedback also points to a powerful engine and comfortable passenger space, while the expert review highlights its stylish design and strong safety reputation. For you, that makes it a compelling fit if you want a full-size pickup that can double as a comfortable daily driver and still handle truck duties. The market also shows 34.6% good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 reliable?

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

The owner summary points to a truck that feels dependable in everyday use, with praise for its smooth ride, powerful engine, and comfortable cabin. The expert review also emphasizes the updated diesel and mild-hybrid powertrain tech, which supports the impression that Ram put real effort into durability and drivability. The main long-term ownership risk for used buyers is making sure the truck’s equipment and condition match the trim and options you expect.

What should I look for when buying a used 2020 RAM 1500?

At 70% 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 you’re considering a higher-trim truck with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the features you want are actually present on the specific listing. If you’re shopping for a used example, the safest approach is to verify the truck’s history before you get too attached to the price or trim.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tradesman starts with steel wheels, vinyl upholstery and flooring, a bench seat, a 5-inch touchscreen, and a 6-speaker stereo, while the Big Horn adds foglights, carpet, tinted windows, and available upgrades like 20-inch wheels, air suspension, dual-zone climate control, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. The Rebel brings a more aggressive off-road setup with lifted suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and a Class IV hitch, while the Laramie and above lean into leather, heated and ventilated seats, and more tech. If you want the best value, the Big Horn is the trim that most clearly opens the door to desirable equipment without jumping straight to luxury pricing.
• Powertrain: The base 3.6-liter V6 makes 305 horsepower and uses eTorque mild-hybrid assistance, while the optional 5.7-liter V8 delivers 395 hp and 410 lb-ft. The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 returns with 260 hp and 480 lb-ft, and it’s available to any trim. If you want the strongest towing-oriented torque, the diesel is the standout; if you want a more familiar all-around setup, the V8 is the easier fit.
• Safety package: The truck earned a Top Safety Pick Plus from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, but the accolade applies only to the Crew Cab with all active safety equipment and optional LED lights. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is on the Limited, while adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and a self-parking system with a 360-degree camera are available on Laramie trims and above. Advanced safety features are not standard, so you should verify exactly what’s included on the truck you’re considering.
• Infotainment: The base setup uses a 5-inch Uconnect touchscreen, while higher trims can get an 8.4-inch screen and, on upper trims, a 12-inch tablet-style touchscreen. The system supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on the upgraded screen, and the cabin also offers a wealth of USB and USB-C ports front and rear. If you care about tech, the larger screen is a meaningful upgrade.
• Fuel efficiency: The base V6 is described as capable of 20 mpg city, 26 highway, and 23 combined, while the V8 can return up to 17/23/19. The EcoDiesel is presented as the torque leader, and the expert review notes that it improves efficiency, though it still drives like a diesel.

Which 2020 RAM 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2020 RAM 1500 is offered in 6 trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn, Rebel, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the work-focused starting point, with steel wheels, vinyl surfaces, a bench seat, a 5-inch touchscreen, and basic towing hardware. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost path into the redesigned truck and don’t need much luxury equipment.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more polished look and opens the door to desirable options like air suspension, dual-zone climate control, and the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration. If you want a balanced mix of comfort, tech, and price, this is the trim to target.
• Rebel: This is the choice if you want the more aggressive off-road setup, with lifted suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and a Class IV hitch. It suits you best if you want a truck with a tougher personality and more trail-ready hardware.
• Laramie: This is the move if you want a more upscale cabin, with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, driver memory, parking sensors, and a 9-speaker stereo. It’s a strong pick if comfort matters more than rugged simplicity.
• Laramie Longhorn: This trim leans harder into luxury with upgraded leather, wood accents, reclining rear seats with heat and ventilation, navigation, and more exterior chrome and wheel upgrades. It’s the right fit if you want a premium-feeling truck with a distinctive look.
• Limited: This is the top-end choice, with standard air suspension, premium leather, power-retractable side steps, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. It’s the trim to buy if you want the most upscale version of the truck and are willing to pay for it.

The safety package is not standard across the lineup, so you should verify the exact equipment on any trim you’re considering.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 RAM 1500?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and deal activity to shop carefully.

• Deal availability: 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 13,598 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.46% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 70.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,072, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2020 RAM 1500's resale value?

The current average of $27,072 sits slightly below last year's $29,575.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you as a buyer now but may limit upside if you’re planning to resell soon. If you buy at the right price and keep the truck in strong condition, you’ll be better positioned to preserve value. Trucks with desirable equipment and clean history tend to hold buyer interest more easily than stripped or heavily used examples.

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 2020 RAM 1500 safe?

The 2020 RAM 1500 earns a Top Safety Pick Plus from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The safety story is strong, but there’s an important caveat: the IIHS result applies only to the Crew Cab with all active safety equipment and optional LED lights. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is available on the Limited, and adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and a self-parking system with a 360-degree camera are available on Laramie trims and above. Advanced safety features are not standard, so you should check the exact build carefully.

Should I buy a 2020 RAM 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2020 if:

• 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 70% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.46% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The EcoDiesel returns for any trim, giving you a notable diesel-power option across the lineup.

Consider the 2019 if:

• At $23,405, the 2019 costs less than the current year's $27,072 average.
• It emphasizes comfort, refinement, and multiple powertrain choices.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $29,667, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $27,072 average.
• It adds the TRX and leans harder into high-performance off-road capability.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, diesel availability, and strong owner satisfaction, the 2020 is the smart default. If your budget is tighter, the 2019 is the value play; if you want more performance and are willing to pay more, the 2021 is the upgrade path.
