What RAM 2500 do most buyers choose?

The RAM 2500 years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2025.

These higher-volume years tend to attract more shoppers because they offer a broad mix of newer features, strong availability, and a wide spread of prices. That combination gives you more choice when you want a recent heavy-duty truck with plenty of listings to compare.

What is the RAM 2500's resale value?

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you are shopping used because it points to softer pricing across much of the lineup. A few years are falling by double digits, while one older year is moving up slightly, so the pattern is broadly favourable to buyers but not uniform across every model year.

The 2016, 2018, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
