How much does the 2022 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 7.28% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,567 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2022 RAM 1500 earns a 4.78/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

Owners repeatedly praise its exceptional comfort, luxurious ride, and strong value for money. They also highlight the beautiful interior, thoughtful features, and the way it performs well both on the road and off.

The main trade-offs are that advanced safety features are not standard and the rear automatic braking system can be sensitive. For you, that means this truck makes the most sense if you want a refined full-size pickup with broad everyday appeal rather than the most safety-rich or least fussy setup.

Good and great deals account for 33.3% 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.

The owner feedback points to a truck that feels dependable in daily use, with repeated praise for comfort, value, and the ability to perform well both on the road and off. That kind of consistent satisfaction usually matters more than a single flashy feature when you are thinking about long-term ownership.

The expert evaluation also reinforces that sense of durability and confidence by emphasizing the truck’s refined driving character and strong all-around execution. The cost-effectiveness commentary adds that the Ram 1500 is competitively priced and equipped, which can help ownership feel more manageable over time.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the truck’s core appeal and more about choosing one with the right equipment and condition, especially if you want to avoid expensive options or finicky features.

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 condition, especially if it has higher-end equipment or towing-related hardware. You will also want to pay close attention to how the safety and driver-assist systems behave, since some features can be sensitive in real-world use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Lower trims like Tradesman and Big Horn are where you should expect the biggest feature gaps, especially because advanced safety features are not standard. Big Horn and above gain the newer Uconnect 5 system, which is a meaningful upgrade if you care about infotainment speed and features.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque, while a 5.7-liter V8 with or without eTorque is available. There is also an EcoDiesel V6 option, which brings strong torque and efficiency but costs more.
• 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, 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.
• Infotainment: Lower trims use an 8.4-inch touchscreen, while higher trims can get a 12-inch display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, along with Alexa Built-in, satellite radio, connected services, and available 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 strengths without paying for extras. Just know that it is where you are most likely to feel the absence of advanced safety features and the more upscale tech found higher up.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks the newer Uconnect 5 infotainment system as standard equipment. If you want a better balance of price, tech, and everyday usability, this is the trim to focus on.
• Limited: This is the luxury-leaning choice, and the test truck showed why it stands out with premium materials, a quiet cabin, and a highly polished feel. It suits you best if comfort and refinement matter more than keeping the price down.
• TRX: This is the high-performance choice, and it is the one to consider if you want the most dramatic personality in the lineup. It is the trim that gives the truck its most aggressive character.

Higher trim levels are available with the Advanced Safety Group and Rebel Safety Group packages.

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 with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,567 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.28% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $33,320, 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 $33,320 sits slightly below last year's $35,934.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you a better entry point than a year ago. For a future seller, that can mean less immediate upside if prices stay soft, but it also means the truck is still trading at a level that reflects strong demand and broad appeal.

Because the year-round range is relatively tight, well-kept examples should remain easier to move than neglected ones. Trucks with desirable equipment and clean histories should hold up better than stripped or heavily worn examples.

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 when equipped with all of its driver aids, and it earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star frontal-impact ratings for the driver and front passenger.

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

The available driver-assist features on 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-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 keep in mind is that advanced safety features are not standard, so you need to shop carefully if those systems matter to you. The rear automatic braking system can also be overly sensitive in some driveways, and the lane-keep assist can feel too insistent at times.

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:

• 33.3% 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 7.28% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.78/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds the new Uconnect 5 infotainment system on Big Horn and above.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $30,500, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $33,320 average.
• It adds the TRX performance trim for buyers who want a more dramatic personality.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $36,777, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $33,320 average.
• It leans more upscale while keeping the Ram 1500’s refined ride and premium feel.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, comfort, and broad appeal, the 2022 is the smart default. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2021 is worth a look; if you want a newer-feeling market position and do not mind paying more, the 2023 is the alternative to compare.
