2023 Ram 1500 Review | Light Duty Truck Leader
The 2023 Ram 1500 is a vehicle that is ready for daily adventure. This model year is all-business, all-luxury, and all-power. Campers, adventurers, construction workers, company owners, and those who tow frequently will appreciate the functionality of this modernized truck.
Ram has always been a trailblazer, showing the world what a traditional light-duty, full-size pickup truck should accomplish. This no-compromise truck is known as America's most powerful half-ton diesel pickup.
These light duty trucks are ideal for individuals or families that need a reliable tow, have an active lifestyle, need a work vehicle, or simply love pickups. On top of its highly rated features, Ram trucks come with a promised 5-year warranty to keep you safe throughout the years. This warranty includes coverage for diesel or gas powertrain, rust-through, and roadside assistance.
For 2023, the Ram 1500 is setting the benchmark -- once again -- for daily-driver trucks in terms of durability, safety features, and dashboard connectivity between the driver and the vehicle. Here’s what you need to know about the new model year.
Highly Functional Tailgate and Towing Capacity
Now available in this model year, the 2023 Ram 1500 Limited Elite Edition features a multifunction locking tailgate, alongside a tailgate-ajar warning light, and adjustable cargo tie-down hooks. This vehicle also has a deployable bed step and cargo divider to increase truckbed utility.
The Ram 1500 is a truck that you can use to tow with confidence. This vehicle boasts a towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds with its best trim level. This trim uses a 5.7L HEMI V8 engine with eTorque. However, there are three other engine options for this vehicle, including the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque, the 3L EcoDiesel V6 engine, and the supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine. Even the entry-level Ram 1500 can still tow an impressive 7,700 pounds!
What gives this truck so much strength? It’s the tough mechanics underlying the total package. When approaching 30 miles per hour, the Ram 1500 maintains an active front air dam that automatically extends 2.5 inches downward to help reduce drag.
An available air suspension system will automatically lower the truck to increase speed and boost its maximum power. This feature boosts fuel efficiency.
Driver Assistance
The Ram 1500, once known as the Dodge Ram 1500, is not only a vehicle that can tow but a vehicle that can be trusted for off-road adventure. Standard for the 2023 Ram Rebel and select trim packages, Ram offers an upgraded Selec-Speed Control system. This trail-riding system maintains a constant vehicle speed while traversing various terrains.
On the road, Stability Control corrects over and understeering while the Electronic Roll reduces wheel lift. The Ram 1500 offers an impressive 360-degree Surround View Camera around the cabin and a 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera, helping you maneuver from adventure to adventure safely and efficiently.
Standard driver aids include Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection, Forward Collision Warning, and Pedestrian Emergency Braking. Available parking assistance includes Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist.
One feature to help with unpredictable events is Adaptive Cruise Control. If the ACC detects a vehicle braking ahead, it will autonomously adjust your speed to keep a safe distance. When the driver is in full control, the forward collision warning may trigger automatic braking to achieve the same goal.
Safety Assured
When the worst happens, the Ram 1500 is prepared. Crew Cabs received a 5-star NHTSA rating. This vehicle comes with the largest brake rotors for a light-duty pickup truck at a stunning 14.9 inches.
With LED projector headlights and full-speed forward crash prevention, the 2022 Ram 1500 Crew Cab was named a Top Safety Pick Plus by the IIHS. Standard on Longhorn, Limited and TRX trims, the headlights are curve adaptive and have high beam assist. In addition, Ram’s crash prevention received its own IIHS superior rating.
Exterior Specifications and Configurations
On top of a wonderfully well-thought-out use of suspension and safety features, the Ram 1500 is known to be "purpose-built bolt by bolt". This is easily noticeable just by taking a look at the elevated hood design. It showcases Ram's modern take on a light-duty pickup truck.
This truck is available in Pearls such as the flashy Delmonico Red and fun Patriot Blue. Metallics include Billet Silver and Granite Crystal. Other favorites include Hydro Blue, Ivory Tri-Coat and Flame Red. For Tu-tone exteriors, the options include Diamond Black Crystal Pearl and Walnut Brown Metallic.
But looks are certainly not everything. The Ram 1500 has a class-exclusive RamBox Cargo Management system, including a multipurpose cooling box meant for a variety of events. From tool and equipment storage to cold drinks, the RamBox is prepared. The Cargo Management system also comes with a 115 Volt/400 Watt Auxiliary outlet on the driver's side, giving you power and control on the go.
With a list of awards behind this vehicle, such as “#1 Driver Appeal Among Large Light-Duty Pickups, 3 Years in a Row” in 2022, it’s safe to say: the new 2023 Ram 1500 is a worthy investment. Shoppers can choose from the Ram 1500 Big Horn, Laramie Limited Longhorn and other fun trim levels. You can value your old truck with this Kelley Blue Book trade-in tool.
Dashboard and Driver Connectivity
While the exterior is bold and show-stopping, the interior is likewise. The 2023 Ram 1500 demonstrates next-level craftsmanship, attention to detail, and comfort that is unprecedented for a traditional truck.
For instance, passengers will appreciate 45.2 inches of rear legroom and eight different degrees of seating recline. Front seats can be heated AND ventilated, the preference for our Phoenix AZ summers. In another example, six distinctive interior color scheme choices are sure to please shoppers.
Although this vehicle is meant for towing, daily adventures, and off-roading, Ram spares no expense with dashboard technology. The cockpit has a 12-inch digital cluster screen with a Gauge Summary. Drivers can utilize it for turn-by-turn navigation and to keep an eye on vehicle dynamics. The large touch screen features smartphone connectivity, satellite radio, and other standards of modern entertainment.
Adapting technology to improve the driver experience, Ram created a dashboard "Head-Up Display". This display shows incoming calls, miles per hour, and turn-by-turn navigation in a non-distracting and digital view on the front windshield.
An available Digital Rearview mirror adds confidence for many driving decisions. When the LCD monitor is switched on, this mirror provides a real-time video stream from a rear-facing camera. This smart device keeps your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel even when you need to check what’s behind you.
Interior Modifications and Additional Storage
Talk about safety priorities and the wave of the future! Ram is ahead of its time. The 1500 RED Edition trim level features a UV-C glove box light. When triggered by a button on the center console, the UV light will start a three-minute hygiene cycle to kill bacteria.
Luxurious amenities include remote keyless entry, a power station for smartphones, and an available 4G Wi-Fi hotspot. Voice Recognition can play music from your smartphone, give you directions to your next destination, and provide hands-free calling and texts.
