What's New for the 2023 Ram 1500?
There are an array of new features that are standard and available for the 2023 Ram 1500 lineup. For the first time ever, a fully-digital gauge cluster is available for the Ram 1500. Spanning 12 inches, this new driver information center shows you important information like gauges, vehicle dynamics, turn-by-turn navigation, driver assists, and more, all at a glance down behind your steering wheel. The screen is fully customizable with five different tiles to put your most useful information into. The 2023 Ram 1500 lineup is upgraded with the Limited Elite Edition. The Ram 1500 Limited is already recognized as the most luxurious truck in its class. However, the Limited Elite Edition takes that luxury to new heights with heated/ventilated front seats, premium leather upholstery, the new 12-inch gauge cluster, a bright pedal kit, a bed extender, a locking multi-function tailgate, a deployable bed step, a cargo divider, and much more. If you plan to use the Ram 1500 for off-roading, this new feature is for you! Newly standard on the Ram 1500 Rebel trim is Selec-Speed. This feature keeps your wheels moving in the right direction at a pre-set steady speed while off-roading to maintain momentum while staying in control. Put simply, Selec-Speed is off-roading cruise control. Selec-Speed also comes standard with Big Horn, Laramie, and Limited trims that are equipped with the Off-Road group and Big Horn trims with the Back Country Package.
What Engines Are Available for the 2023 Ram 1500?
In 2023, Ram continues its hefty engine lineup for the Ram 1500. As standard equipment, you'll find a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, delivering 305 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque to pull up to 7,730 pounds. The V6 engine offers seamless fuel-saving Engine Stop/Start operation and maximum fuel efficiency using the eTorque mild-hybrid system. Arguably the most popular Ram 1500 engine is the 5.7L HEMI V8, available for the entire lineup except for the Limited trim, where it comes standard. This hauls up to 11,610 pounds with 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. If you select the 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque, towing capacity is enhanced to 12,750 pounds. The 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 is optional, towing up to 12,560 pounds courtesy of 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. The fearsome Ram 1500 TRX comes exclusively with a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8, laying down an awe-inspiring 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. The TRX rips from 0-60 in just 4.5 seconds, making it the fastest street-legal truck on the market. All of the Ram 1500's engine options are linked to a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission that powers a rear-wheel drive system. However, 4x4 is available for all trims while standard on the TRX.
2023 Ram 1500 Safety Features
The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, more commonly known as IIHS, has recognized the Ram 1500 as their Top Safety Pick on many occasions. Helping it earn that title is its standard safety equipment, beginning with a 97% high-strength steel frame. This protects occupants of the Ram 1500 in the event of a collision by directing the impact energy away from the cabin. This reduces the risk of serious bodily injury. Also protecting the occupants are six standard airbags, including driver and passenger front and side airbags and side curtain airbags for the front and rear seats. The driver and passenger airbags use adaptive venting technology to automatically sense the occupant's size and adjust the airbags deployment rate based on that and the severity of the impact. Your safety depends on good brakes, and the Ram 1500 has the largest brakes in its class, spanning 14.9 inches. While the standard equipment makes the Ram 1500 very safe, Ram believes that the best collision is the one that is avoided. That's why advanced driver assistance technologies are available, including lane-keep assist, rear cross-path detection, blindspot monitoring, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and much more.
