Whenever there’s a big changeover from one model year to the next, it’s usually bad news for the older model. A great example of that phenomenon is in the Ram 1500 which is [all new for 2019](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/17678/2019-ram-1500-revealed-ahead-of-detroit-debut>). Once the [word got out](<https://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/17736/2019-ram-1500-breaks-the-internet-with-patriotic-cross-cultural-thank-god-im-a-country-boy-ad>) that there was a long-overdue revision to the truck coming for the [2019 model year](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/18988/2019-ram-1500-pickup-truck-pricing-announced>), pretty much everyone stopped buying the 2018 model in anticipation of the new one.

However, that can be good news if you’re in the market for a new truck, but don’t mind the outgoing Ram. In order to clear out inventory of the still-current 2018 Ram 1500, Ram is offering bonus cash up to $12,356 on select models as part of its spring sales event. The real-world result? Several brand new full-size pickup trucks for well under $20,000.

If you do want to pay less than $20,000 for a new Ram, you won’t be getting fancy leather seats and you might even have a hard time finding one with four-wheel drive at that price, but if you just need a work truck or if you don’t care about fancy features, you can get quite a steal on a new Ram.

These discounts don’t only apply to the low-end models. This is a good chance to get a deal on most of the many trims of the Ram 1500 including a Ram Rebel for less than $40,000 or a super luxurious Laramie Limited for $42,000. Finally, a luxury pickup truck that’s priced like a similarly appointed luxury sedan.

We wouldn’t blame you for holding out for the [all-new 2019 Ram 1500](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/18363/mopar-unveils-new-line-of-accessories-for-2019-ram-1500>), but if you aren't picky, this is a great opportunity to get a good deal on a new truck.
