Ram 2500 keeps an estimated 61% of its recent market value after 5 years — #195 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Ram 2500 retains an estimated 61% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #195 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Truck in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Ram 2500 sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $42,700 it falls to around $26,089 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,611, about $9.10 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Ram 2500 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
