Model Summaries
Ram 1500
Owners get a solid used truck here, with yearly repair costs below the full-size truck average. The 2024 is the pick and the 2019 is the year to avoid. Watch for a touchscreen that registers ghost touches and electric power steering that cuts out without warning, since those two problems show up across many model years.
Average score: 68/100. Best year: 2024 (77/100). 9 years tracked.
Ram ProMaster
Used Promaster vans hold up well, though they rate below average against other trucks on the site. Transmission trouble is the big worry: delayed or harsh shifts, no reverse, and vans waiting weeks or months on back-ordered parts. Rainwater leaking past the windshield cowl can soak wiring and sensors and stall the engine. The 2018 is the year to favor, while 2019 and 2021 draw the most complaints.
Average score: 62/100. Best year: 2018 (68/100). 9 years tracked.
Ram ProMaster EV
Used buyers have little history to go on yet. All three model years are too new to score, no owner complaints have been filed against any of them, and the first year, 2024, has one federal recall on record. No problem area has emerged, and no year can be favored until more owner reports and repair data build up.
Average score: 0/100. Best year: 2024 (0/100). 3 years tracked.
