There are 9,546 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare. If you find a listing below $33,428.63, 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 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 beautiful interior, and they also like the thoughtful features and strong value for money. The truck’s polished driving character and upscale cabin come through clearly in the feedback, along with appreciation for how well it works both on the road and off.

The main trade-offs are the expensive diesel engine option and the fact that advanced safety features are not standard. The overview also points to a truck that is especially appealing if you want comfort, technology, and everyday usability in a full-size pickup.

Good and great deals account for 29.2% 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 people feel they can count on, with repeated praise for its trouble-free comfort, strong value, and overall satisfaction over the long term. The expert evaluation also reinforces that dependable feel by describing the Ram as a refined, well-rounded all-arounder with strong everyday usability.

The cost-effectiveness discussion notes that the truck is competitively priced and equipped, though the diesel engine does not represent substantial value. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is paying extra for features or powertrains that may not deliver enough payoff for your needs.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.2% — 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 braking behavior, since the rear automatic braking system can be sensitive. You should also pay close attention to trim-specific equipment, because safety and tech content vary meaningfully by version.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The truck ranges from the basic Tradesman to the high-performance TRX, and the lower trims miss some of the richer equipment and safety content found higher up.
• Powertrain: Engine choices include a standard 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque, an available 5.7-liter V8 with or without eTorque, and a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V6.
• 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 a testing 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 name and core truck capability at the lowest starting point, but you give up some of the richer comfort, tech, and safety content found higher up.
• 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 equipment without jumping all the way to luxury pricing.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want the most upscale cabin feel, the richest feature content, and the polished road manners that define this truck.
• TRX: This is the choice if you want the most extreme performance character in the lineup, with the supercharged V8 and the most aggressive personality.

Higher trims can be paired with the Advanced Safety Group or Rebel Safety Group, which add more driver-assistance features and camera-based convenience tech.

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: 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,546 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.40% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $33,428.63, 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 $33,801 sits slightly below last year's $36,111.

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 plan to sell later, the truck’s broad appeal, comfort, and strong feature set should help keep demand steady. Well-equipped examples are likely to hold attention better than stripped-down trucks, especially if they have clean history and desirable options.

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. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the truck a five-star overall rating, but dual four-star frontal-impact ratings for the driver and front passenger suggest there is room for improvement.

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 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 the rear automatic braking system can be overly sensitive in some driveway situations, so it is worth testing carefully on a used example.

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:

• 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.40% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.78/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings a refined cabin and strong everyday usability.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $31,016, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $33,801 average.
• It adds the TRX performance flagship.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $37,438, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $33,801 average.
• It leans further into upscale comfort and refinement.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, comfort, and feature content, 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-year alternative.
