Three Reasons to Buy a Used RAM 1500

Something old, something new, something leased, and something used…

When it comes to finding the right truck, the smart choice doesn’t always come fresh off the production line. If you’re shopping for a dependable pickup that delivers serious capability without that stomach-churning new-truck price tag, a used RAM 1500 checks all the right boxes.

From proven performance and modern features–yes, even when it’s several years old to long-term value and everyday versatility, there are plenty of reasons this truck continues to be a favorite.

But let’s start with three standout reasons buying a used RAM 1500 just makes sense.

1. Five-Star Savings and Value

A brand-new 2026 RAM 1500 runs between $41,000 to over $88,000 and that’s not including extra features or upgrades.

When you choose a used RAM 1500 for sale, you’ll still get a power-packed, feature-rich pickup, just with substantial savings to back it up. A used truck not only offers a lower price tag but often comes with lower insurance premiums. Insurance premiums are based on the value of your vehicle and, since its value is much lower than that of a fresh-off-the-lot model, you’ll end up saving more every month on your auto insurance.

2. Engines Built to Last

The RAM 1500 is no stranger to power. In fact, its reputation is built on strength and longevity. In recent years, RAM set out to improve its engine performance and capabilities, leading to the introduction of the eTorque mild-hybrid system.

This system, available on engines ranging from the 3.6L Pentastar V6 to the 5.7L HEMI V8, improves fuel efficiency while preserving the towing capabilities for which RAM is known. These engines have been known to last hundreds of thousands of miles with proper maintenance and care.

So, what does this mean? Whether you opt for a 2019 RAM 1500 or a 2025 model, the engine was built to withstand the test of time.

3. Modern Tech Prepared for the Long Haul

One of the main reasons you might be hesitant to even look at used RAM trucks is due to the technology inside or lack thereof. Typically, used vehicles are known not to have the modern tech amenities we love to see, but then again, the RAM 1500 is anything but typical.

Late-model used RAM 1500s are equipped with high-end technology, including many with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Wi-Fi hotspots, and 8.4-inch+ infotainment displays.

And if you find the right used RAM for sale, you may even end up with a premium sound system and a host of safety features once reserved for higher-end trims.
