Used 2020 RAM 1500 for Sale nearMississauga, ON

How much does the 2020 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 12.61% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,621 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and equipment.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2020 RAM 1500 earns a 4.75/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its luxurious feel, smooth ride, and spacious interior, and many describe it as a luxury truck. The powerful engine choices also come through in owner feedback, especially for buyers who want a comfortable full-size pickup that still feels capable. On the trade-off side, some owners mention Bluetooth connectivity issues and a desire for more storage options.

That lines up well with the truck’s use case: you’re looking at a refined full-size pickup that can work as a daily driver, family hauler, or tow rig, rather than a bare-bones work truck. With 31.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s also a decent amount of market flexibility if you shop carefully.

Is the 2020 RAM 1500 reliable?

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

The owner summary points to a truck that feels dependable, with buyers repeatedly highlighting its comfortable, trouble-free character and strong overall satisfaction. The expert drive notes also support that impression by describing the EcoDiesel and updated drivetrain as meaningful improvements in power, efficiency, and delivery. The cost-effectiveness commentary adds that the truck gives you access to capability, tech, and safety equipment without forcing you to pay for everything at once.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about core durability and more about choosing the right equipment level and condition, especially if you want the more advanced features.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tradesman starts with steel wheels, vinyl upholstery and flooring, a bench seat, a 6-speaker stereo, and a 5-inch touchscreen, while the Big Horn adds fog lights, carpet, tinted windows, and access to more comfort and tech options. The Rebel brings a lifted, off-road suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and LED lighting, while the Laramie focuses on leather, heated and ventilated front seats, and more premium cabin features. The Limited adds standard air suspension, premium leather, power-retractable side steps, and more safety equipment.
• Powertrain: You can shop the 3.6-litre V6 with eTorque, the 5.7-litre Hemi V8, or the 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6. The diesel is the torque leader and was updated with 80% new parts, but the expert notes say it can still feel like a diesel and may show turbo lag, so it’s worth a careful test drive if towing matters to you.
• Safety package: The truck’s safety 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. The expert notes also say advanced safety features are not standard, so you’ll want to confirm exactly what’s fitted on the truck you’re considering.
• Infotainment: Lower trims use a 5-inch touchscreen with Uconnect, while higher trims can get the 8.4-inch screen or the 12-inch tablet-style touchscreen. Wireless charging appears on higher equipment groups, and the system supports smartphone integration; the expert notes also point to a bright, easy-to-use interface.
• Fuel efficiency: The 3.6-litre V6 with 4WD is rated at 12.2 L/100 km city, 9.7 highway, and 11.1 combined. The 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 with 4WD is rated at 11.1 L/100 km city, 8.0 highway, and 9.7 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 path into the redesigned truck. You still get useful basics like a rear-view camera, push-button start, cruise control, air conditioning, and trailer-sway control, so it covers the essentials without pushing you into expensive extras.
• Big Horn: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more polished look and opens the door to the most desirable comfort and tech upgrades, including the 8.4-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, dual-zone climate control, and air suspension.
• Rebel: Choose this if you want the most aggressive off-road character in the lineup. It adds a lifted suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and a more rugged setup, and it’s also available with the diesel engine this year.
• Laramie: This is the trim to target if you want a more premium cabin. It adds leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, driver memory, parking sensors, and a better stereo, making it a strong comfort-focused choice.
• Longhorn: This trim leans into luxury with more upscale exterior touches, upgraded leather, rear-seat heating and ventilation, navigation, and a standard spray-in bed liner. It suits you if you want a more upscale truck without going all the way to the top.
• Limited: This is the top luxury pick, with standard air suspension, premium leather, power-retractable side steps, and more advanced safety equipment. It’s the right choice if you want the most refined version of the truck.

The safety-package note to keep in mind is that advanced safety features are not standard, and some of the strongest safety results depend on specific cab and equipment combinations.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right truck.

• Deal availability: 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,621 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.61% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $31,813 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 $31,813 CAD sits slightly below last year's $36,403 CAD.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer now, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive resale environment if prices stay under pressure. The good news is that the truck’s broad appeal, strong safety reputation, and high owner satisfaction should help support demand over time. Well-equipped examples with desirable trims and the right powertrain are likely to hold attention better than stripped-down trucks.

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 Top Safety Pick Plus designation from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

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

The safety content also notes that the IIHS result applies only if you get the Crew Cab model with all the active safety equipment and the optional LED lights. The truck’s available driver-assistance features include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and auto emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and parking assist. One important caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, so you’ll need to verify equipment carefully on any used example.

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:

• 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.61% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The EcoDiesel returns across the lineup, giving you a diesel option on every trim.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $33,147 CAD, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $31,813 CAD average.
• It adds the TRX performance flagship.

The bottom line: If you want the better value and broader diesel availability, the 2020 is the smarter buy. If you’re willing to spend more for the 2021’s performance-focused TRX, that’s the stronger choice for buyers who want maximum attitude and capability. For most shoppers, though, the 2020 offers the better balance of price, equipment, and appeal.
