Ram 1500 keeps an estimated 75% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #38 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Ram 1500 retains an estimated 75% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #38 of 530 cars we track. That is 12 points above the 63% five-year average for Truck in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Ram 1500 sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $41,442 it falls to around $31,040 by year five — a five-year loss near $10,402, about $5.70 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Ram 1500 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
