Is the RAM 2500 a good car?

Yes — the RAM 2500 is a strong choice if you want heavy-duty capability with a more comfortable, well-equipped feel than many trucks in this class. The all-generations owner rating is 4.63/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise its power, towing ability, comfort, and spacious interiors. Many also highlight the truck’s reliability, especially in diesel-equipped versions, along with the way it balances work-ready strength and everyday usability.

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

The main trade-offs across recent expert-tested years are high pricing, fuel economy concerns, and some controls or entry-and-exit ergonomics that feel less polished than the rest of the truck. 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are RAM 2500 models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently point to strong power, towing ability, comfort, and a spacious cabin as core RAM 2500 strengths. Across the model years in the data, that combination helps the truck feel durable and well suited to hard use.

• Owners rate the RAM 2500 between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by checking service history carefully, especially on higher-mileage trucks and diesel-equipped examples.

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.

• 2026: 6/10
• 2025: 7/10
• 2023: 8/10
• 2020: 9/10

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

Should I buy a used RAM 2500 now or wait for the next model?
