What the numbers say

A 2019 RAM 4500 still asks 39% of what a 2024 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 55 sedans we price, that ranks #53, below the 57% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 2 (−35.8%), after which losses ease to about 33.5% a year. Mileage costs it 57%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 71 listings.
