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.

- 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?

Why it stands out
The 2022 RAM 1500 stands out as a truck that blends style, comfort, utility, technology, and a relaxed driving character better than many rivals in its segment. Its appeal starts with its stylish design and continues inside, where the cabin is notably spacious and widely praised for its beautiful, thoughtful layout. It also earns credit for great ride quality, which helps make it feel more refined than a typical full-size pickup.
That comfort-first personality is a major reason buyers are drawn to it, and owner feedback reinforces that impression by highlighting exceptional comfort, a luxurious ride, and strong value for money. The truck is also appreciated for performing well both on the road and off, which broadens its usefulness beyond daily driving. The main drawbacks are that advanced safety features are not standard, the rear automatic braking system can be sensitive, and the diesel engine option is expensive.
