How much does the 2022 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 6.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,476 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

If you find a listing below $33,415.65, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 4.78/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert rating is 7.67/10. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its exceptional comfort, luxurious ride, and beautiful interior. They also highlight thoughtful features, great power, and strong value for money.

The main trade-offs are the expensive diesel engine option and the fact that advanced safety features are not standard. The rear automatic braking system can also be sensitive.

For you, that means this truck makes the most sense if you want a pickup that feels upscale, comfortable, and well equipped rather than purely utilitarian. Good and great deals make up 32.4% of listings, so there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 RAM 1500 reliable?

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

Owner feedback points to a truck that feels dependable, with praise for its trouble-free comfort, strong value, and the kind of long-term appeal that makes it easy to live with. The expert drive notes also emphasize a refined, composed driving character and a quiet cabin, which supports the sense that it is built for everyday use.

The first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about basic durability and more about choosing the right configuration and checking that higher-cost features have aged well.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on braking behavior, electronics, and any signs of heavy use. Pay close attention to condition, since this truck’s appeal depends heavily on how well its comfort and tech features have been maintained.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Lower trims can miss some of the more desirable comfort and convenience equipment, while higher trims add more upscale materials and features.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes a standard 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque, an available 5.7-liter V8 with or without eTorque, and an EcoDiesel V6 that delivers strong torque and up to 12,560 pounds of towing capacity depending on configuration.
• 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 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 or 12-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 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, Limited, and TRX.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the Ram 1500’s core comfort and utility without paying for extra luxury or tech. It is the trim where you should be most alert for feature gaps, especially if you want more advanced safety or infotainment equipment.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it brings the newer Uconnect 5 system and a stronger mix of everyday convenience features without jumping all the way to luxury pricing.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want the most upscale feel, with the richest materials, the most polished cabin presentation, and the strongest luxury-truck vibe.
• TRX: This is the performance-focused choice, built for shoppers who want the most extreme power and the most aggressive personality in the lineup.

Higher trims are available with the Advanced Safety Group and Rebel Safety Group packages, so check carefully for the driver-assistance equipment you want.

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 patiently but still move quickly on the right truck.

• Deal availability: 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,476 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.69% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $33,415.65, 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 $33,650 sits slightly below last year's $36,063.

That softer pricing can help you buy in at a more favorable point, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you buy well now, you may have less depreciation pressure than someone who paid closer to the prior-year average. Strong condition and desirable equipment should matter even more when it comes time to sell.

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 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Ram 1500 a Top Safety Pick rating when equipped with all of its driver aids, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it five-star overall ratings, with four-star frontal-impact ratings for the driver and front passenger.

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

The lower-level Tradesman and Big Horn trims include lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, and rear cross-traffic alert. Higher trims can be equipped with the Advanced Safety Group or Rebel Safety Group, which add automatic high-beam headlights, 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.

One caveat to watch is that advanced safety features are not standard, and the rear automatic braking system can be overly sensitive in some driveways.

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:

• 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.69% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.78/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds a standard Clean Air System and brings Uconnect 5 to Big Horn and above.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $30,867, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $33,650 average.
• It adds the TRX performance focus.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $37,221, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $33,650 average.
• It leans harder into comfort and refinement.

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