Used 1500: generations and model years
Used 1500s for sale span 2 generations in CarWhere's data, with the Fifth generation, refreshed (2025–present) on sale new. Knowing which generation a listing belongs to tells you which engines, recalls and known issues apply.
Fifth generation, refreshed (2025–present) · 2025–presentCurrent
The 2025 refresh dropped the 5.7L HEMI for the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo I6 (420 hp SO, 540 hp HO) and added the Tungsten and RHO trims. Ram brought the HEMI back for 2026 along with the Express value trims. For 2027 the TRX returns as an SRT model with 777 hp, and a new Rumble Bee muscle-truck family arrives.
Fifth generation DT (2019–2024) · 2019–2024
The 2019 redesign launched with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 eTorque (305 hp) and 5.7L HEMI (395 hp), with or without eTorque, rated to tow up to 12,750 lb with the Max Tow package. A 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 (260 hp, 480 lb-ft, 12,560-lb max tow) joined for 2020, and the 702-hp TRX arrived for 2021. Ram's 2024 towing chart no longer lists the EcoDiesel.
Years to avoid, best years and known issues
Before you shortlist a used 1500, check its model year against CarWhere's reliability research and the known issues for its generation.
What to check before buying a used 1500
- Run the VIN for title brands (salvage, rebuilt, flood, lemon buyback), odometer history and reported accidents before you go see it.
- Check the VIN for open safety recalls and confirm the dealer will complete any open campaign before delivery.
- Decode the VIN or pull the build sheet to confirm the engine, drivetrain, trim and options match the listing.
- Inspect the frame, bed and hitch for rust, weld repairs and heavy-towing wear; check the receiver and wiring harness.
- If it was used for towing, look for transmission fluid that is dark or smells burnt, and ask whether it had a factory tow package.
- On 4x4 models, engage four-wheel drive (high and low) on the test drive and listen for clunks from the transfer case and axles.
- Get an independent pre-purchase inspection — especially for suspension, brakes, tires and any fluid leaks.
- Ask for service records, and confirm how much factory warranty is left from the original in-service date.
- Negotiate the vehicle price first, then fees; refuse dealer add-ons you did not ask for.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I pay for a 1500?
On a new 1500, verified CarWhere buyers paid a median 9% below MSRP — about $6,700 — across 75 deals (Dec 2025–Nov 2026). The middle half paid between 6.1% and 11.9% off. Use that as your benchmark: a discount off MSRP measured before rebates, with no dealer add-ons. A used 1500's price depends on year, mileage and condition, so compare several listings near you before you make an offer.
When is the best time to buy a 1500?
CarWhere's best-time research finds that new-car discounts have historically been largest from October through December, and January is strongest for used cars. But the seasonal edge is small: average discounts in CarWhere's verified deals move by only a point or two between periods. That's narrower than the spread between 1500 buyers themselves: the middle half paid between 6.1% and 11.9% off MSRP. Negotiation matters more than the calendar.
Should I buy a new or used 1500?
New gets you the current Fifth generation, refreshed 1500 (2025–present) with a full factory warranty, from $42,575 MSRP. Verified buyers paid a median 9% off. Used, the main alternative is the Fifth generation DT (2019–2024). Before you buy a used one, check the years to avoid and known issues by generation, and run the VIN for title and accident history.
