Ram 3500 keeps an estimated 60% of its recent market value after 5 years — #216 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Ram 3500 retains an estimated 60% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #216 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Truck in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Ram 3500 sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $36,400 it falls to around $21,840 by year five — a five-year loss near $14,560, about $7.98 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Ram 3500 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.

Around 3 years old: that is just past the steepest depreciation, so you skip the biggest drop while the value curve is flattening.
