The RAM 1500's current nationwide average price is $30,673, and its lowest point over the past year was $28,666. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.
Is the RAM 1500 a good car?
Yes — the RAM 1500 is a strong used-truck pick if you want comfort, refinement, and a cabin that feels especially roomy. The all-generations owner rating is 4.65/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the smooth ride, upscale interior, and powerful performance. Many also highlight the truck's spacious cabin, strong towing capability, and polished design.
Expert reviews rate the 2019 and 2025 models among the highest across all years.
The trade-offs to keep in mind are that advanced safety features are often reserved for higher trims or packages, and some recent versions put a premium on price. Some shoppers may also want to pay close attention to tech usability and fuel economy depending on the model year.
32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are RAM 1500 models reliable?
Owners and experts consistently point to the RAM 1500's comfortable ride, strong performance, and upscale cabin as core strengths. Across the lineup, buyers also tend to value its roomy interior and broad range of configurations.
- Owners rate the RAM 1500 between 3.85 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by checking service history carefully and focusing on well-maintained examples with clean records.
What should I look for when buying a used RAM 1500?
Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 77.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

- Infotainment: Ram’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Which RAM 1500 trim should I buy?

Should I buy a used RAM 1500 now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −7.72% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.96%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.2% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.3%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2019 model has the most listings at a current average price of $24,506. The RAM 1500 offers a roomy cabin, a smooth ride, and a refined driving feel that make it especially appealing as an everyday truck.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The latest model pairs a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque at 305 hp and 271 lb-ft, while the Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six delivers 420 hp and 469 lb-ft, and the high-output version reaches 540 hp and 521 lb-ft.
- Tech: Ram’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 10.25-inch passenger screen, and an optional full-color head-up display.
- Safety: The latest model adds Evasive Steer Assist, Intersection Collision Warning, and traffic sign recognition on the Tungsten grade.
If you're buying used today, the 2019 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

The truck is great. A really big upgrade for me more than doubling the engine size. Suspension is very different making the ride very smooth. Tons of features that make the interior very enjoyable. I don’t question any of its off-road capabilities. A slight draw back is the economy is not on par with manf estimates but then again, who’s are?

Summary
With 570 currently listed for sale near Bakersfield, CA and an average price of $24,263, 33.3% of 2019 RAM 1500s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.

Why it stands out
The 2019 RAM 1500 stands out for taking the full-size pickup’s commuter-truck idea even further, with more comfort and refinement than the reviewer had experienced in any truck. Ram’s formula here is built around the qualities that have long made its trucks appealing: a compliant ride and driver-friendly features, paired with the ability to handle everyday driving and work duties. The truck also benefits from a stylish design and easy-to-use technology, which help it feel more polished than a basic utility vehicle.
Another key strength is choice. The 2019 RAM 1500 offers multiple powertrain options, giving buyers flexibility in how they want the truck to feel and perform. Owners echoed the appeal of the smooth ride, powerful engine, and spacious, well-appointed interior, which reinforces the truck’s reputation as a comfortable place to spend time. At the same time, the truck is not without compromises: advanced safety features are not standard, and some owners noted that build quality could be better.
