The 4th generation Ram, launched in 2009 as a Dodge and later as a standalone brand, was a major step forward in pickup design. Its most significant innovation was the segment-first multi-link, coil-spring rear suspension. This design provided a dramatically smoother ride than the traditional leaf springs used by competitors, all while maintaining impressive payload and towing capacities. Coupled with a refreshed interior and the powerful 5.7L HEMI V8, the new Ram was an immediate success.
Today, the 4th gen Ram attracts a wide range of buyers. Enthusiasts seek out specific models like the regular-cab, short-bed R/T for its muscle-truck attitude or well-equipped Laramie Longhorn trims for their luxury features. Because the platform was produced for so long, even continuing as the Ram 1500 Classic alongside the 5th generation, parts are plentiful and the aftermarket is huge. Its combination of modern comfort, capability, and classic truck styling keeps demand strong.
The market for these trucks is incredibly broad, which is reflected in the wide sales price range. High-mileage, basic Tradesman work trucks represent the low end of the market and are treated as disposable assets. The collector interest lies in low-mileage, well-maintained examples with desirable options, particularly the HEMI V8 and unique trim packages. Special editions and unmodified R/T models command the highest prices.
Buying Tips
- Listen for the 'Hemi tick' on 5.7L V8 models, a noise from the valvetrain that can indicate potential camshaft and lifter failure, especially on trucks with poor maintenance history.
- Thoroughly inspect the truck for rust, particularly on the rear wheel arches, rocker panels, and the bottoms of the doors and tailgate. Don't forget to check the frame for excessive corrosion.
- Test the optional air suspension system, if equipped. Ensure it cycles through all height settings smoothly and doesn't show any warning lights, as repairs can be expensive.
- Be aware of potential electrical issues related to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on earlier models, which can cause a variety of strange problems.
- Check for leaks from the rear differential pinion seal and the rear main seal on the engine, which are common areas for oil seepage.
