Used 2020 RAM 1500 for Sale nearAjax, ON

How much does the 2020 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 12.54% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,619 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — 4.75/5 owners’ rating points to strong satisfaction, and the expert test-drive score is 7.67/10. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners repeatedly praise the luxurious feel, smooth ride, spacious interior, and powerful engine. The truck also has a refined, premium character that many reviewers describe as more like a luxury truck than a basic workhorse.

The main trade-offs are Bluetooth connectivity complaints and a desire for more storage options. From a use-case standpoint, that means you’re looking at a full-size pickup that suits you well if comfort and refinement matter as much as capability.

With 32.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some attractive opportunities.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience overall, with the truck’s comfort and power helping reinforce confidence over time. The expert assessment also highlights the EcoDiesel’s improved power delivery and drivability, which supports the sense that Ram kept refining the powertrain rather than leaving it half-baked.

The diesel still brings some ownership risk for used buyers, so you should pay close attention to how it drives and whether it has been maintained properly.

What should I look for when buying a used 2020 RAM 1500?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tradesman is the most basic version, with vinyl upholstery and flooring, a bench seat, a 5-inch touchscreen, and a 6-speaker stereo. Big Horn adds more comfort and convenience, while Rebel, Laramie, Longhorn, and Limited bring progressively richer equipment and more specialised character.
• Powertrain: You can find a 3.6-litre V6 with eTorque, an optional 5.7-litre Hemi V8, and a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6. The diesel brings strong torque and efficiency, but it can still feel like a diesel in real-world driving.
• Safety package: The available driver-assistance equipment includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and auto emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and a self-parking system with a 360-degree camera. Some of these features are not standard, and the Crew Cab with all active safety equipment and optional LED lights is the configuration tied to the top IIHS result.
• Infotainment: Screen sizes include a 5-inch unit, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and an available 12-inch tablet-style display. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are available on the 8.4-inch setup, and the larger screen is the tech standout.
• Fuel efficiency: The EcoDiesel is rated at 11.1 L/100 km city, 8.0 L/100 km highway, and 9.7 L/100 km combined with 4WD. The V6 with 4WD is rated at 12.2 L/100 km city, 9.7 L/100 km highway, and 11.1 L/100 km combined, while the V8 with 4WD is rated at 14.2 L/100 km city, 10.9 L/100 km highway, and 12.8 L/100 km combined.

Which 2020 RAM 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2020 RAM 1500 is offered in 6 trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn, Rebel, Laramie, Longhorn, Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the value play if you want the lowest-cost entry point and can live with a work-truck feel. You still get useful basics like a rear-view camera, push-button ignition, air conditioning, and trailer-sway control.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more polished feel and opens the door to desirable options like the 8.4-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual-zone climate control, and air suspension.
• Rebel: Choose this if you want the most aggressive character in the lineup. It adds a lifted, off-road suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and diesel availability.
• Laramie: This is the comfort-focused choice if you want leather, heated and ventilated front seats, driver memory, parking sensors, and a stronger tech and luxury mix.
• Longhorn: Pick this if you want a more upscale cabin with premium leather, wood trim, rear-seat heating and ventilation, navigation, and a more distinctive appearance.
• Limited: This is the top luxury trim, with standard air suspension, premium leather, power-retractable side steps, and added safety equipment.

The safety package is not standard across the lineup, so you should verify exactly which driver-assistance features are fitted on any truck you consider.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 RAM 1500?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,619 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.54% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $32,110 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2020 RAM 1500's resale value?

The current average of $32,110 CAD sits slightly below last year's $36,713 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may face more competition if prices stay under pressure. If you buy well now, you may have less downside risk than someone who paid closer to last year’s average. Strong demand for well-equipped, comfortable full-size pickups should still help support values, especially for trucks with desirable features and clean histories.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 safe?

The 2020 RAM 1500 earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick Plus designation from IIHS.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The available driver-assistance suite includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and auto emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and a self-parking system with a 360-degree camera. Some of those features are limited to higher trims, and the top IIHS result applies only to the Crew Cab with all active safety equipment and optional LED lights.

Should I buy a 2020 RAM 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2020 if:

• 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.54% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The EcoDiesel returns across the range, giving you a diesel option on every trim.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $33,478 CAD, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $32,110 CAD average.
• It adds the TRX performance flagship.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2020 if you want the better value and the return of the EcoDiesel across the lineup. If you’re willing to spend more for a more extreme performance-focused truck, the 2021 is the one to cross-shop.
