Is the RAM 2500 a good car?

Expert reviews rate the 2020 and 2025 models among the highest across all years.

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 be the most popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, cab, and equipment combination. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and used-market pricing.

What is the RAM 2500's resale value?

Most model years in the table are down year over year, and several of the declines are double-digit drops. That pattern generally favours used buyers because it creates more room to find value in the market. A few older years are falling more slowly, which suggests they have been holding closer to their recent pricing.

The 2017, 2016, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the RAM 2500 safe?

• 2026: 6/10

• 2020: 9/10

Adaptive cruise control is standard across the board, and blind spot monitoring with trailer coverage, pedestrian detection, and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on Power Wagon, Rebel, Laramie, Limited, and Limited Longhorn.

For the safest used buy, the 2020 model posts the highest confirmed score of 9/10.
