The RAM 1500's current nationwide average price is $31,026, and its year-round low is $28,702.56. That puts the model in a broad price band that shifts meaningfully by year, trim, and equipment. 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 earns strong marks from owners across the lineup, and its appeal is built around comfort, refinement, and everyday usability. The all-generations owner rating is 4.65/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the RAM 1500 for its smooth ride, upscale interior, and roomy cabin. Reviewers also frequently highlight its strong performance and useful technology, which helps explain why it remains such a popular full-size pickup.
Expert reviews rate the 2019 and 2025 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs center on advanced safety features and some powertrain choices, especially in recent years where the truck’s strongest equipment is often tied to higher trims or option packages. 28.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are RAM 1500 models reliable?
Owners generally praise the RAM 1500 for its comfortable ride, upscale cabin, and strong performance, and expert commentary repeatedly points to the truck’s refined driving character and broad capability. Across the years, that combination makes it feel more polished than many full-size pickups.
- 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 worth weighing carefully because some model years draw more complaints about engine, electrical, infotainment, or rust-related issues than others.

Great value for the price, roughly 7k below average price for this model truck, under 50k miles. I was hoping for LED headlamps, and the tires are a little worn, but the truck is in great condition, like new. Interior is fantastic. All leather, stereo is amazing.

RAM 1500 test drive
overall
American pickup truck buyers love V8 engines. Ram gives its customers what they want for 2026, bringing the Hemi engine back to the Ram 1500 line.
The Hemi V8 is back for the 2026 model year and now marked by what Ram calls a “Symbol of Protest” badge. As much as we’d like to say it’s better than ever, it’s actually the same as it’s ever been. The 5.7-liter Hemi spins out 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, well below the less-expensive Hurricane turbocharged inline-six’s 420 hp and 469 lb-ft, and way behind the optional High Output Hurricane engine’s 540 hp and 521 lb-ft. But the fact that it’s an option at all will be enough to entice some buyers back to the Ram fold.
Verdict: There’s a lot to like about the 2026 Ram 1500, including its characterful Hemi V8. But if you’re looking for the best version of Ram’s popular pickup, you should think long and hard about how you plan to use the truck. With 10 trim levels and two cab sizes and bed lengths to go along with its four powertrain choices, there are plenty of ways to configure a Ram truck to your exact needs.
