What RAM 3500 do most buyers choose?

The RAM 3500 years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2025.

These years tend to be popular because they combine strong availability with newer features and a broad mix of trims and configurations. Higher listing volume also gives you more chances to compare prices and find a truck that fits your needs.

What is the RAM 3500's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, and several are posting fairly steep declines. That pattern can work in your favor if you’re shopping used, since it creates more room to find value across recent and older model years. A few years are falling more slowly than the rest, which suggests stronger price retention in those cases.

The 2017, 2023, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used RAM 3500 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $55,977.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the newest version, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
