How much does the 2020 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.63% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,609 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — 4.75/5 from owners and 7.67/10 from our experts point to a truck that lands well with shoppers. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise the luxurious feel, smooth ride, spacious interior, and powerful engine. That lines up well with the truck’s use-case appeal as a comfortable daily driver that still works as a capable pickup. The main trade-offs are Bluetooth connectivity complaints and a desire for more storage, while the expert review also notes that advanced safety features are not standard.

With 32.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a strong-value example.

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 that feels luxurious, smooth, and comfortable enough to earn “luxury truck” comparisons, which usually reflects confidence in day-to-day dependability. The expert review also emphasizes the updated EcoDiesel’s improved power, efficiency, and delivery, along with the reworked transmission pairing, which supports the sense that Ram put real effort into making the powertrain more usable over time. The cost-effectiveness commentary also suggests the truck gives you a lot of capability and equipment flexibility without forcing you into a high-priced configuration.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific truck you choose has been maintained well and that its electronics and powertrain behavior are clean in real-world use.

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

At 71.2% 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 thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-trim truck with more equipment. Focus on condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the features you want are actually present on the specific truck, since safety equipment and other upgrades vary by trim. If you’re shopping for a diesel or a heavily optioned example, make sure the truck’s equipment matches the seller’s description.

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 basic stereo, while the Big Horn adds foglights, carpet, tinted windows, and access to more comfort and tech options. The Rebel brings a more aggressive setup with a lifted suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and upgraded lighting, while the Laramie and above move toward leather, heated and ventilated seats, and more premium cabin features. The best-value choice is often the trim that gives you the comfort and tech you’ll actually use without pushing you into luxury pricing.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque, an optional 5.7-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. The V6 is rated at 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, the V8 at 395 hp and 410 lb-ft, and the EcoDiesel at 260 hp and 480 lb-ft. The diesel is the torque leader and was updated with 80% new parts, but the review notes turbo lag and a try-it-before-you-buy-it feel for towing.
• Safety package: The truck can be equipped with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and auto emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and a self-parking system with a 360-degree camera. Some of these features are limited to higher trims, and advanced safety equipment is not standard across the lineup.
• Infotainment: The truck offers a 5-inch touchscreen on lower trims, an 8.4-inch touchscreen on mid and upper trims, and a 12-inch tablet-style touchscreen on higher-spec versions. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are available with the 8.4-inch setup, and the larger screen is a major tech upgrade.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 can return 20 mpg city, 26 highway, 23 combined, while the V8 can return up to 17/23/19. The EcoDiesel averaged 15.4 mpg in mixed driving during the review.

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 truck’s core capability without paying for extras. You get the basic work-truck setup, but still with useful equipment like push-button ignition, a rear-view camera, and trailer-sway control.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more polished feel and opens the door to desirable upgrades like the 8.4-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, dual-zone climate control, and air suspension.
• Rebel: Choose this if you want the more aggressive, off-road-oriented setup. It adds a lifted suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and a more rugged personality, plus the EcoDiesel is available here this year.
• Laramie: This is the comfort-focused step up, with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, driver memory, 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 luxurious cabin. It adds 20-inch wheels, chrome side steps, navigation, and upgraded leather with more rear-seat comfort.
• Limited: This is the top luxury choice, with standard air suspension, premium leather, power-retractable side steps, and added safety equipment like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Advanced safety features are not standard, so if safety tech matters most, focus carefully on trim and option content.

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

The market looks moderate and selective, so you can shop with some leverage but still need to move quickly on the right truck.

• Deal availability: 32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,609 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.63% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 71.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,993, 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 $28,197 sits slightly below last year's $30,525.

That decline suggests the market has cooled enough to give you a better entry point than a year ago. For a future seller, that means your upside depends more on buying well now and keeping the truck in strong condition than on expecting appreciation. The year-round range also shows the model has been trading in a fairly tight band, which can help stabilize resale expectations if you maintain it carefully.

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 five-star overall rating from NHTSA and Top Safety Pick Plus recognition from IIHS.

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

The safety suite can include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and auto emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and a self-parking system with a 360-degree camera. Some of those features are limited to higher trims, and the review notes that advanced safety equipment is not standard across the lineup. The IIHS recognition also depends on getting the Crew Cab with all active safety equipment and optional LED lights.

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:

• 32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 71.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.63% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The EcoDiesel returns with updated hardware and broad trim availability.

Consider the 2019 if:

• At $24,506, the 2019 costs less than the current year's $28,197 average.
• It emphasizes comfort, refinement, and commuter-friendly driving.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $30,681, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $28,197 average.
• It adds the TRX for buyers who want a much more performance-focused truck.

The bottom line: The 2020 is the smart middle path if you want the EcoDiesel return, strong safety, and broad trim flexibility without paying next-year pricing. If your priority is saving money, the 2019 is the better value play; if you want more drama and performance, the 2021 is the one to cross-shop.
