Used Dodge Ram for sale in Europe

About the Dodge Ram

The Dodge Ram is a full-size American pickup truck. In Europe it is usually imported, so most examples are left-hand drive and come from the US or Canada. It suits buyers who need towing ability, a large load bed or a crew cab, and who accept the size and fuel use that come with that.

Listings cover several decades. Older trucks sit alongside the Ram 1500 and the heavier 2500 and 3500 versions. Body styles include regular, extended and crew cabs with different bed lengths. Engines range from petrol V6 and V8 units to diesels, plus mild-hybrid and gas-converted trucks.

Since 2010 the Ram name has been sold as its own brand, but many sellers still list these trucks as Dodge Ram. Specification varies widely between trims, so compare the exact engine, drivetrain and cab layout rather than the model name alone.

Generations

• First Ram generation (1981-1993) — Square-bodied pickups on the older Dodge D-series platform, which is why earlier trucks may be listed under other names.
• Second generation (1994-2002) — A full redesign with a bold truck-style front end, offered with Magnum V8 petrol engines, a V10 and Cummins turbo diesel on heavier models.
• Third generation (2002-2008) — A new design for the 1500 that introduced the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 from 2003 alongside other V6 and V8 petrol engines.
• Fourth generation (2009-2018) — Brought a coil-spring rear suspension on the 1500, the 3.6-litre V6 and 5.7 Hemi, and a 3.0-litre diesel from 2014.
• Fifth generation (2019-present) — A larger, more modern truck with an optional eTorque mild-hybrid system on the V6 and 5.7 Hemi, and a bigger interior screen.

Typical prices

Asking prices in our listings rise with model year. Trucks from the 1990s and 2000s sit well below recent ones, while older classics are priced on condition and originality rather than age alone. The median across all listings is €43,900. For model year 2015 the median is €24,900, for 2019 it is €40,000 and for 2024 it is €75,600. Spreads within a year are wide because trim, cab size, engine and mileage differ so much. These are asking prices in our listings on 2026-11-10, not a valuation.

What to check when buying a used Dodge Ram

Inspect the truck on a lift if you can, and ask for service records that show regular oil changes. Check that the trim, engine and drivetrain match the listing, and compare any imported truck's paperwork with the vehicle itself.

• Rust and body condition

  Look at the cab corners, rocker panels, wheel arches, door bottoms and bed floor. Check the frame and underbody for corrosion or poor repairs, especially on trucks from regions that salt their roads. Trucks used for work may also show bed and tailgate damage.

• Hemi lifters and ticking · 5.7 Hemi V8

  Owners widely discuss lifter and camshaft wear on some 5.7 Hemi engines, often first heard as a persistent tick. Listen on a cold start, check for warning lights and ask for oil change history and any engine work.

• Early Pentastar V6 checks · 3.6 V6 (early fourth generation)

  Some early 3.6-litre V6 engines are discussed for cylinder head and cooling-related issues. Ask whether any work was done, check for coolant loss and misfires, and make sure the engine idles smoothly.

• Diesel emissions and service · 3.0 EcoDiesel and Cummins diesels

  Check the history of the exhaust and emissions system, including EGR parts and the particulate filter, and look for warning lights. Cummins trucks are usually heavier models, so check for signs of hard towing, injector work and neglected maintenance.

• Air suspension and electronics · Fourth and fifth generation

  Some trucks have optional air suspension. Check that ride height changes smoothly and the truck does not sag overnight. Test the touchscreen, cameras, parking sensors and driver aids, as electronic faults can be costly to trace.

• Gas conversions and imports

  CNG and LPG trucks may have aftermarket systems. Ask for installation and inspection paperwork, check tanks and lines for damage, and see that the system runs on both fuels. Also check that the odometer units and service history are clear.

• Towing and drivetrain wear

  Many Rams have towed heavy loads. Check the transmission for smooth shifts, the four-wheel-drive system for correct engagement, and the hitch, wiring and brakes. Look for fluid leaks, worn suspension parts and uneven tyre wear.
