2023 RAM 1500

You can expect to find the 2023 Ram 1500 in nine trims: Tradesman, HFE, Lone Star, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, Longhorn, Limited, and TRX. Most trims offer a crew or quad cab, with a short and long bed option for the crew cab and a standard long bed on the quad cab. Both cabs offer four doors with a backseat, and the quad cab provides more legroom. Features include 18-, 20-, or 22-inch wheels, Bi-LED projector headlights, 60/40 swing-away doors, a multifunction tailgate, and heated power outside mirrors.

The 2023 Ram 1500 offers four engines, depending on trim level. It's also rumored that a fifth option, a twin-turbo six-cylinder Hurricane engine, could be added later in the model year. The first engine is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 that delivers 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. Another option is the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 that produces 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque.

You can also opt for a diesel engine featuring a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 that garners 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Exclusive to the TRX trim is a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 that gets an impressive 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.

Ram knows the importance of performance-enhancing features, especially for a pickup truck like the Ram 1500. You can tow up to 7,730 pounds with the 3.6-liter V-6, while the diesel option will get you a towing capacity of 12,650 pounds. You can also haul a maximum payload of 2,000 pounds, opening up other possibilities. The 5.7-liter HEMI lets you haul up to 12,750 pounds, while the 6.2-liter V-8 in the TRX tows 8,100 pounds.

Drivers opting for the TRX trim are typically looking to take their Ram 1500 off-road with the upgraded brakes, electronic locking rear differential, upgraded engine cooling, performance exhaust system, and specialized lifted suspension with Bilstein adaptive dampers.

Slide behind the wheel of the 2023 Ram 1500 to find an interior designed for form and function.

Arriving safely at your destination is paramount, so the 2023 Ram 1500 features many standard and available safety and driver-assistance features to get that done.
