By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2021 Ram 1500 in good condition with average mileage (about 62,500 miles) is worth roughly $27,400 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $25,200 to $29,600, or about $31,500 at a dealer. 2021 is not on our years-to-avoid list, so condition, history, and maintenance matter more than the model year here.

- 5.7L Hemi: lifter and camshaft wear ('Hemi tick') — a consistent tick that changes with RPM is the warning
