How much does the 2022 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 6.93% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,481 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

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 consistently praise the truck’s exceptional comfort, luxurious ride, beautiful interior, thoughtful features, and strong value for money. They also note that it performs well both on the road and off, which broadens its appeal beyond daily commuting.

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 the RAM 1500 makes the most sense if you want a refined full-size pickup with a premium feel rather than a stripped-down work truck.

Good and great deals account for 32.2% of listings, so there is some 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, comfortable, and trouble-free enough to inspire strong repeat confidence. The expert evaluation also reinforces that impression by describing the RAM 1500 as a refined, well-rounded truck with strong road manners and a relaxed driving character.

The EcoDiesel setup adds efficiency and torque, but its higher upfront cost means long-term ownership value depends on how much you actually use that capability. For used buyers, the biggest risk is paying extra for a diesel or feature-heavy trim without getting the usage pattern to justify it.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the brakes, suspension, and electronics, since comfort-focused trucks often wear their features more than their sheet metal. Focus on overall condition and whether the equipment on the truck matches how you plan to use it.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Lower trims are more basic, while higher trims add more upscale materials, larger screens, and more equipment. The base setup leaves more feature gaps, so you should compare cabin finish and convenience features carefully.
• Powertrain: You can get a standard 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque, an available 5.7-liter V8 with or without eTorque, or the turbocharged 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. The diesel brings strong torque and efficiency, but it is the priciest engine choice.
• 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, and Uconnect 5 arrives on Big Horn and above.
• 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, TRX, Rebel, Laramie, and Longhorn.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the most basic path into the RAM 1500, so it makes sense if you want the truck’s core capability and are willing to skip some of the nicer cabin and tech upgrades.
• 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 and technology.
• Laramie: This is a good step up if you want a more premium-feeling cabin and more comfort-oriented equipment without jumping all the way to the luxury end.
• Rebel: This is the trim to consider if you want a more rugged personality and the off-road-oriented character that comes through in the model lineup.
• Longhorn: This suits you if you want a more upscale, Western-themed luxury truck with a richer interior presentation.
• Limited: This is the most luxurious mainstream choice, with the richest materials, the biggest feature set, and the strongest premium-truck feel.
• TRX: This is the high-performance choice, built for buyers who want the most dramatic power and the most aggressive personality in the lineup.

Higher trims are available with the Advanced Safety Group and Rebel Safety Group packages, while lower trims get a more limited driver-assist set.

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 without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,481 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.93% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $33,408, 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 $33,546 sits slightly below last year's $36,046.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you a better entry point than a year ago. If you buy well now, you may avoid paying the peak pricing that earlier shoppers faced. For a future seller, the softer market means resale gains may be more modest unless your truck is especially clean, well-equipped, and desirable.

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 five-star ratings from NHTSA overall, with four-star ratings for frontal impact for both 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, 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:

• 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.93% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.78/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It combines a refined ride with strong comfort, upscale cabin quality, and broad capability.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $30,776, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $33,546 average.
• It adds the TRX performance flagship and a more dramatic personality.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $37,102, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $33,546 average.
• It leans more upscale while keeping the same refined full-size-truck character.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, comfort, and feature content, the 2022 is the smart default. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 can save you money, while the 2023 makes sense if you want to spend more for a newer-feeling alternative.
