Ram 1500 depreciation by country

The same car depreciates at different rates in different markets. Here's how the Ram 1500 depreciation rate changes across the seven major markets we track.

🇺🇸
United States
Baseline

Baseline market and the Ram 1500's core territory. Crew-cab 4x4 configurations and Rebel/Laramie trims hold value best, while heavy Stellantis incentives on new trucks pressure used pricing.

Currency: USD Unit: mi
🇨🇦
Canada
+2% retention

Ram is consistently one of Canada's top-selling trucks. 4x4 crew cabs see strong demand in Alberta and the Prairies, keeping resale slightly firmer than the US baseline.

Currency: CAD Unit: km
🇬🇧
United Kingdom
-18% retention

Sold only as a grey-market import; limited dealer support and high fuel/road tax costs lead to steeper depreciation. Niche appeal among enthusiasts keeps a small premium on TRX and Limited trims.

Currency: GBP Unit: mi
🇪🇺
Europe
-20% retention

Full-size US trucks are impractical for European roads and face heavy CO2 taxation. Depreciation is accelerated, though novelty demand supports TRX values in Germany and the Netherlands.

Currency: EUR Unit: km
🇸🇦
Saudi Arabia
+5% retention

Ram has a growing presence in the Gulf, competing with Silverado and F-150. HEMI V8 variants retain value well thanks to cheap fuel and strong demand for full-size trucks.

Currency: SAR Unit: km
🇮🇳
India
-28% retention

Not officially sold in India; only a handful of private imports exist. Extreme import duties, lack of service support, and unsuitable road infrastructure make depreciation very steep.

Currency: INR Unit: km
🇦🇺
Australia
-2% retention

Remanufactured to right-hand-drive by Walkinshaw/Ateco, the Ram 1500 is popular for towing. Strong demand for the Laramie and Limited trims supports resale, though conversion costs inflate initial prices.

Ram 1500 depreciation after an accident

An accident on a vehicle's history permanently increases its depreciation rate, even after perfect repairs. Here's how much extra depreciation each severity level adds to a Ram 1500.

Minor accident
+8% depreciation

Paintwork, bumper scuffs, non-structural repairs. Disclosed on history reports but limited resale impact.

Moderate accident
+18% depreciation

Panel replacement, airbag deployment, meaningful CARFAX entry. Significantly accelerates depreciation.

Major accident
+33% depreciation

Frame damage, flood, salvage title. Permanent depreciation hit even after full restoration.

This "diminished value" is the extra depreciation a car carries after an accident. Insurance rarely reimburses it — our calculator bakes it into every depreciation estimate.

Ram 1500 FAQ

How much does a Ram 1500 depreciate in the first year?
A new Ram 1500 typically depreciates about 20% in its first year, steeper than segment leaders like the Toyota Tundra (~15%). This is partly due to generous Stellantis rebates and incentives on new trucks, which drag down used values. By year one, a $55,000 Laramie is usually worth around $44,000.
What is a Ram 1500 worth after 5 years?
After 5 years and ~75,000 miles, a Ram 1500 retains roughly 52% of its MSRP. A truck that stickered for $60,000 new would be worth around $31,000. Rebel and TRX trims tend to retain 3–5% better than Limited trims, which suffer more depreciation due to their high MSRPs.
Does the Ram 1500 depreciate faster than the Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado?
The Ram 1500 depreciates slightly faster than the F-150 but at a similar pace to the Silverado. After 5 years, the F-150 typically retains ~55%, the Ram ~52%, and the Silverado ~51%. Heavy incentives and the discontinuation of the Classic body style have weighed on Ram's residuals.
How does mileage affect Ram 1500 depreciation?
Each mile driven beyond the 15,000/year average reduces resale value by roughly $0.015. Work trucks with 150,000+ miles can lose an additional 15–20% of value compared to low-mileage examples. Well-documented service history on the HEMI and Hurricane engines helps offset some of this loss.
Is the Ram 1500 TRX a good investment for resale value?
The TRX depreciates slower than most Ram 1500 trims due to its limited production and supercharged 702-hp Hellcat V8. After 3 years, a TRX typically retains ~70% of MSRP versus ~64% for a Limited. With the TRX now discontinued, clean examples may see even stronger retention going forward.
