How much does the 2020 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,834 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2020 RAM 1500 earns a 4.75/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 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 a comfortable cabin, which fits a truck aimed at buyers who want everyday usability with a more upscale feel. On the downside, some owners mention Bluetooth connectivity issues and limited storage.

That lines up with the truck’s broader appeal: it’s a polished full-size pickup that works well for commuting, family duty, and weekend hauling. With 34.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop carefully.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a truck people feel good about living with over time, especially because it’s described as luxurious, smooth-riding, and comfortable for passengers. The expert evaluation also emphasizes the EcoDiesel’s improved power, efficiency, and delivery, along with the updated drivetrain’s smoother operation. The cost-effectiveness notes reinforce that you can buy into the model without overpaying for features you may not want.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the truck’s equipment and powertrain history match the way it was used.

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

At 71.3% 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 body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the truck’s features work as expected. If you want advanced driver assistance, make sure the listing actually includes it rather than assuming it comes standard.

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 rear-view camera, while the Big Horn/Lone Star 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 Laramie adds leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, parking sensors, and a 9-speaker stereo, while the Limited adds premium leather, power-retractable side steps, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
• Powertrain: The base 3.6-liter V6 makes 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque with eTorque mild-hybrid assistance, and it can return up to 20 mpg city, 26 highway, 23 combined when properly configured. The optional 5.7-liter V8 makes 395 hp and 410 lb-ft, and the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 delivers 260 hp and 480 lb-ft with strong towing-oriented torque.
• Safety package: The available driver-assistance suite includes adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and auto emergency braking, lane-departure warning, a self-parking system with a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, parking sensors, and forward-collision and lane-departure mitigation. Some of these features are limited to higher trims, so check equipment carefully.
• Infotainment: The truck comes with a 5-inch touchscreen on the Tradesman, an 8.4-inch touchscreen on higher trims, and an available 12-inch tablet-style touchscreen. The system supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and the tech package also includes USB and USB-C inputs front and back.
• Fuel efficiency: The base V6 can return up to 20 mpg city, 26 highway, 23 combined, while the V8 is rated up to 17/23/19. The EcoDiesel’s mixed-driving result is noted at 15.4 mpg.

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 value play if you want the lowest-cost entry point and can live without luxury extras. You still get the essentials, including a touchscreen, rear-view camera, and trailer-sway control, so it’s the right pick if you want capability first.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more polished look and unlocks desirable options like the 8.4-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, air suspension, and dual-zone climate control. If you want a well-rounded truck without jumping too far up the price ladder, this is the trim to target.
• Rebel: Choose this if you want the most aggressive off-road character in the lineup. It adds a lifted suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and a more rugged setup, and it’s also newly available with the diesel engine this year.
• Laramie: This is the comfort-focused step up, with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, parking sensors, and a better stereo. It suits you if you want a more premium daily driver.
• Laramie Longhorn: Pick this if you want upscale materials and a more distinctive cabin, including wood trim, upgraded leather, rear-seat comfort features, and navigation. It’s the luxury-leaning choice for buyers who want a truck that feels special inside.
• 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 equipment and the most polished experience.

Advanced safety features are not standard, so check trim and option content closely if driver assistance matters to you.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,834 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 71.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,521, 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 $27,521 sits slightly below last year's $29,844.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to help buyers now, but it also means future sellers may face a softer resale environment than they would have a year ago. If you buy at the current average or below, you’re starting from a more favorable cost basis than last year’s shoppers. Strong condition and desirable equipment should matter more than ever if you want to protect value later.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, 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 rating from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

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

The available driver-assistance suite includes adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and auto emergency braking, lane-departure warning, a self-parking system with a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, parking sensors, and forward-collision and lane-departure mitigation. Some of those features are limited to higher trims, so you’ll want to verify the exact equipment on any used listing.

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:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 71.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The EcoDiesel returns and is available across the lineup, adding a notable diesel option for buyers who want it.

Consider the 2019 if:

• At $23,764, the 2019 costs less than the current year's $27,521 average.
• It emphasizes comfort, refinement, and everyday livability.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $30,041, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $27,521 average.
• It leans harder into capability and high-performance off-road personality.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, inventory, and the EcoDiesel’s return, the 2020 is the smart default. If you’re mainly focused on saving money, the 2019 is the better value path. If you want to spend more for a newer-feeling, more performance-oriented direction, the 2021 is worth a look.
