How much does the 2020 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.95% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,665 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 4.75/5 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 they also highlight the powerful engine as a major plus. In use-case terms, that makes it especially appealing if you want a pickup that can double as a comfortable daily driver rather than just a work truck.

The main trade-offs are Bluetooth connectivity complaints and a desire for more storage, while the expert review also points to the diesel’s turbo lag and the fact that it can feel underwhelming when you want quick highway merging. Even so, the market shows 32.4% good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

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 over time, with a spacious cabin and a powertrain that leaves a strong impression. That kind of praise usually lines up with a vehicle people feel confident living with day after day.

The expert review also emphasizes the updated EcoDiesel’s improved power, efficiency, and delivery, along with the reworked transmission that helps the truck feel more polished. On the cost side, the review notes that the truck can be configured with accessible powertrains and equipment, which helps ownership feel less punishing if you choose carefully.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the specific truck you choose has been maintained well and that any diesel-related concerns are checked before you commit.

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

At 71.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a careful inspection of bodywork, safety equipment, and any signs of prior repair quality. Because the truck’s appeal depends heavily on comfort, tech, and safety content, you’ll want to make sure the specific example you’re considering still delivers the condition and equipment level you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tradesman starts with 18-inch steel wheels, vinyl upholstery and flooring, a bench seat, a 6-speaker stereo, a 5-inch touchscreen, and basic convenience features, while the Big Horn adds foglights, carpet, tinted windows, and access to upgrades like 20-inch wheels, air suspension, dual-zone climate control, and the 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 standard air suspension, premium leather, power-retractable side steps, and more safety equipment.
• Powertrain: The base 3.6-liter V6 makes 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque with eTorque mild-hybrid assistance, 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. The diesel is the torque leader, but the review notes turbo lag and says it’s worth a test drive before you buy.
• 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. The review also notes that most safety features are not standard, and some are limited to higher trims.
• Infotainment: The base setup uses a 5-inch touchscreen, while higher trims can get an 8.4-inch touchscreen or a 12-inch, tablet-style touchscreen. The system supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on the larger screen, and the review highlights the bright, easy-to-use Uconnect interface.
• Fuel efficiency: The base V6 is rated at 20 mpg city, 26 highway, 23 combined, and the V8 can return up to 17/23/19. The EcoDiesel is described as efficient, though the review does not give an official EPA figure.

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-focused starting point, with the essentials you need for work-truck duty and a lower entry price than the rest of the lineup. It makes sense if you want capability first and plan to add only the options you truly need.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more polished look and opens the door to desirable comfort and tech upgrades without jumping straight to luxury pricing. If you want the sweet spot between price and equipment, this is the one to focus on.
• Rebel: This is the off-road-leaning choice, with a lifted suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and a more aggressive appearance. It suits you if you want a more rugged personality and the diesel is part of your shopping list.
• Laramie: This is the comfort upgrade, adding leather, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, parking sensors, and a better stereo. It’s a strong pick if you want a more premium daily-driver feel.
• Laramie Longhorn: This trim leans into upscale materials and extra convenience, including upgraded leather, wood trim, rear-seat comfort features, navigation, and standard spray-in bed liner. Choose it if you want a more luxurious cabin and don’t mind paying for it.
• Limited: This is the top-end choice, with standard air suspension, premium leather, power-retractable side steps, and added safety equipment. It’s the right fit if you want the most fully equipped version.

Safety-package note: advanced safety features are not standard, and some of the most desirable driver-assistance items are reserved for higher trims.

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 know what you want.

• Deal availability: 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,665 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.95% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 71.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,990, 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 $27,996 sits slightly below last year's $30,413.

That decline suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also mean future resale gains are more limited if prices stay soft. If you’re planning to sell later, the current trend implies you should focus on buying a well-equipped, well-kept truck that will stay attractive to the next buyer.

Strong demand for comfortable, well-rated trucks can help support resale, especially when the truck has broad appeal and a strong reputation. 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 a Top Safety Pick Plus rating from IIHS, though the IIHS result applies only to the Crew Cab with all active safety equipment and optional LED lights.

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

The safety suite can include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and a self-parking system with a 360-degree camera. The review also notes that most safety features are not standard, so you need to pay close attention to trim and options if safety equipment matters to you.

One caveat is that the strongest IIHS result depends on a specific configuration, so you should verify the exact cab, lighting, and equipment on any used listing you’re considering.

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:

• 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 71.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.95% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2020 stands out for bringing back the EcoDiesel engine and making it available on every trim.

Consider the 2019 if:

• At $24,342, the 2019 costs less than the current year's $27,996 average.
• It emphasizes comfort, refinement, and commuter-friendly driving manners.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $30,500, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $27,996 average.
• It adds the TRX’s supercharged performance focus and a more dramatic personality.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, comfort, and broad trim availability, the 2020 is the smart default. If you’re shopping on a tighter budget, the 2019 can save you money, while the 2021 makes more sense if you want the extra performance and are willing to pay for it.
