How much does the 2022 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.14% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,507 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2022 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — owners rate it 4.78/5, and our experts give it 7.67/10. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the exceptional comfort, luxurious ride, and beautiful interior, and they also like the truck’s strong value for money and solid performance on and off the road. That lines up with the overview: this is a full-size pickup that leans more toward style, comfort, utility, and a relaxed driving character than a bare-bones work truck.

The main trade-offs are the expensive diesel engine option and the fact that advanced safety features are not standard. Even so, 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.

Is the 2022 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.78/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a truck that feels dependable, trouble-free, and worth keeping for the long term, with buyers repeatedly calling out its comfort and quality. The expert drive notes also reinforce that impression by describing the Ram as a polished, well-rounded truck that feels composed and easy to live with.

There is a maintenance upside in the broader ownership picture, since Toyota’s competing hybrid gets free scheduled maintenance, but that does not apply here. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about choosing a truck with the right equipment and condition, especially if you want to avoid costly options.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 RAM 1500?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 83% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the truck’s ride quality, braking behavior, and any added equipment. Condition matters a lot here, especially if you are shopping higher trims or trucks with more complex tech and towing gear.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The truck ranges from the basic Tradesman to the high-performance TRX, and lower trims miss some of the richer cabin and tech content that appears higher up the lineup.
• Powertrain: You can get a standard 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque, an available 5.7-liter V8 with or without eTorque, or the EcoDiesel turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V6; the diesel is efficient but expensive.
• Safety package: Lower trims include lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, and rear cross-traffic alert. Higher trims can add the Advanced Safety Group or Rebel Safety Group with automatic high beams, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, a head-up display, surround-view camera, rain-sensing wipers, and parking assistance.
• Infotainment: Big Horn and above get Uconnect 5, with an 8.4-inch touchscreen in lower trims and a 12-inch display available in higher trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, along with Alexa Built-in, satellite radio, connected services, and WiFi access.
• Fuel efficiency: The EcoDiesel is rated at 24 mpg in combined driving, and the test truck averaged 24.8 mpg on the evaluation loop.

Which 2022 RAM 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2022 RAM 1500 is offered in 7 trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn, Rebel, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, Limited, TRX.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the work-focused starting point, but it is the trim most likely to leave you wanting more comfort and convenience equipment.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it unlocks the newer Uconnect 5 system and a stronger mix of everyday features.
• Rebel: Choose this if you want a more rugged personality and the off-road-oriented character that sits above the mainstream trims.
• Laramie: This is the step up if you want a more upscale cabin and a better balance of comfort and equipment.
• Limited Longhorn: Pick this if you want a more premium, distinctive interior presentation with a luxury-truck feel.
• Limited: This is the most polished mainstream luxury pick, with the richest cabin feel and the most upscale overall presentation.
• TRX: This is the performance flagship, built for buyers who want the most dramatic power and the most extreme character in the lineup.

Higher trim levels are available with the Advanced Safety Group and Rebel Safety Group packages, while lower trims do not get the full suite of advanced driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 RAM 1500?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find good opportunities.

• Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,507 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.14% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $33,384, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 RAM 1500's resale value?

The current average of $33,439 sits slightly below last year's $36,011.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you more negotiating room today. For a future seller, that can be a mixed signal: you may not see the same peak pricing that was available a year ago, but you are also buying into a model with a broad appeal profile.

The Ram’s strong comfort, upscale cabin, and wide buyer interest should help support demand over time. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.78/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 RAM 1500 safe?

The 2022 RAM 1500 earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, but it also earns four-star ratings in frontal-impact tests for the driver and front passenger.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Lower trims include lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, and rear cross-traffic alert. Higher trims can add the Advanced Safety Group or Rebel Safety Group packages, which bring automatic high beams, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, a head-up display, surround-view camera, rain-sensing wipers, and parking assistance.

A key caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, and the rear automatic braking system can be overly sensitive in some situations.

Should I buy a 2022 RAM 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.14% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.78/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds the new Uconnect 5 system on Big Horn and above, improving the truck’s tech experience.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $30,681, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $33,439 average.
• It adds the TRX performance flagship.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $37,001, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $33,439 average.
• It leans more upscale while keeping the Ram’s refined ride.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, comfort, and available tech, the 2022 is the smart default. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2021 can save you money, while the 2023 makes sense if you are willing to pay more for a newer-feeling upscale truck.
