Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

2015 Ram 1500 wheels & tires

The spec sheet doesn't list tire sizes for this model year; here is what the owner's manual says.

Cold tire pressure
Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
Manual describes compact spare, full-size spare, limited-use spare or tire service kit, depending on equipment.
Lug nut torque
130 ft-lb (176 N·m) (Cone type), M14 x 1.50 thread, 22 mm socket
Pressure monitor
A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2015 Ram 1500 Specifications, 2015 Ram 1500 Rebel Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2015 Ram 1500 maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.

Additional Inspections

  • Inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the brake linings, replace as necessary
  • Adjust parking brake as necessary

2015 Ram 1500 owner's manuals & publications

The manufacturer's owner's manual, quick guides, radio manuals, supplements and warranty booklets for the 2015 model year.

Salt, snow and hills: the data

Reading the 2015 1500 data for Great Lakes roads

From the Snowbelt east of Cleveland to the ridges of West Virginia and east Tennessee, this part of the country throws salt, snow and grade at every vehicle. Here is how the 2015 Ram 1500 specifications line up against all three.

What the manual says about oil

Oil capacity is 6 qt (3.6L) and 7 qt (5.7L), and the manual lists SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 (3.6L) and SAE 5W-20 (5.7L). Where more than one engine appears in the lineup, the engine code on the window sticker settles which grade applies. The wrong one in a Tennessee winter gives up a little protection on every cold start, and over years of driveway starts that adds up.

Cranking power for a lake-effect morning

Rated battery output: 730 to 800 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 160- to 220-amp alternator.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

This model year offers rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. In Tennessee, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.

Boats, campers and Appalachian grades

The schedule lists axle fluid, automatic transmission fluid and transfer case fluid service for frequent trailer towing, starting at 30,000 miles. Whether it is a fishing boat headed for the Ohio River or a pop-up camper bound for the Smokies, the extra heat of towing ages these fluids faster, most of all on long July climbs.

Filters for dust and pollen

The schedule asks for more frequent air-filter attention in dusty conditions, beyond the normal replacement every 30,000 miles. Gravel roads up Appalachian hollows and coal-haul routes in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky qualify, so inspect the filter at each oil change if they are part of your week.

Fuel grade and winter reserve

Fuel requirement: 87 octane (89 recommended). In winter, keeping the tank above half is a sensible habit across the Great Lakes states, because lake-effect pileups and mountain snow on I-64 or I-77 can leave traffic stopped for hours, and fuel is your heat.

Specifications are the manufacturer's; the weather and road context is ours. When a note here and the 2015 owner's manual disagree, follow the manual.

2015 Ram 1500 questions

How much oil does the 2015 Ram 1500 take?

With a filter change: 3.6L engine (SAE 5W-20), 6 qt / 5.6 L and 5.7L engine (SAE 5W-20), 7 qt / 6.6 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

What kind of oil does the 2015 Ram 1500 use?

3.6L engine: SAE 5W-20, API certified (MS-6395); 3.6L engine (if 5W-20 is not available): SAE 5W-30 (MS-6395); 5.7L engine: SAE 5W-20, API certified (MS-6395); and Engine oil filter: Mopar brand engine oil filter.

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2015 Ram 1500?

At 20,000 miles or 2 years: inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary; inspect the brake linings, replace as necessary; adjust parking brake as necessary. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.

Where can I find the 2015 Ram 1500 owner's manual?

The manufacturer publishes it free on Mopar.com as a PDF (linked in the manuals section above), along with quick guides, radio manuals and the warranty booklet.

What MPG does the 2015 Ram 1500 get?

The EPA rates the 2015 Ram 1500 at 15–24 MPG combined, depending on the version. 3.6L 6-cylinder, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 18 city / 25 highway / 21 combined; 3.6L 6-cylinder, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 17 city / 25 highway / 20 combined; 5.7L 8-cylinder, 6-speed automatic, RWD: 14 city / 20 highway / 16 combined; 5.7L 8-cylinder, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 15 city / 22 highway / 17 combined; 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 21 city / 29 highway / 24 combined. Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.

Does the 2015 Ram 1500 have recalls?

NHTSA lists 18 safety recall campaigns for the 2015 Ram 1500. The most recent: Engine and engine cooling (June 2023), Fuel system, diesel: delivery (June 2022), and Air bags: side/window (August 2021). NHTSA's data was last fetched November 8, 2026. Recalls are listed by model year, so a given vehicle may or may not be covered: enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer to see which are open.

What are the most common safety complaints about the 2015 Ram 1500?

Owners have filed 1,461 complaints about the 2015 Ram 1500 with NHTSA. The components named most often are steering (342), engine (335), and power train (227). 79 complaints involved a crash and 58 complaints a fire. Complaints are reports from owners that NHTSA does not verify, so treat them as a signal to look into, not a finding.

What is the 2015 Ram 1500's NHTSA crash-test rating?

NHTSA's overall 5-Star Safety Rating for the 2015 Ram 1500 is 4 out of 5 stars (Ram 1500 Quad PU/EC 4WD: 4, Ram 1500 Quad PU/EC 2WD: 4, Ram 1500 Crew PU/CC 2WD: 4, and Ram 1500 Crew PU/CC 4WD: 4). The rating combines frontal, side and rollover tests.

Specifications come from the manufacturer's spec comparison and its media-site specification sheets; maintenance schedules, fluids and publications come from Mopar's owner site and owner's manuals. Equipment and ratings vary by configuration; check the owner's manual or a dealer for a specific vehicle.
