What's New for the 2023 Ram 1500?
The Ram 1500 lineup includes many new features, taking it to new heights in the 2023 model year. The first is the exclusive Ram 1500 Limited Elite special edition. This new trim is a rolling corner office featuring luxurious interior comfort, including premium leather upholstery, heated/ventilated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a bright pedal kit, 12-way power-adjustable front seats, a power-adjustable steering wheel, a suede headliner, a 60/40 split reclining rear seat, and a jeweled rotary shifter. Outside, the Limited Elite features a locking multifunction tailgate, a cargo divider, a bed extender, a deployable bed step, and more. Ram also makes off-roading easier with Selec-Speed now standard on the Rebel, Big Horn with the Back Country package, and Big Horn, Laramie, and Limited with the Off-Road Group. Selec-Speed is basically cruise control for the trails, keeping your truck moving forward while remaining in control. Lastly, the 2023 Ram 1500 now offers an available 12-inch fully digital gauge cluster that can be customized to fit the driver's preferences and desired information.
2023 Ram 1500 Engine and Drivetrain Options
The 2023 Ram 1500 has a powerful engine lineup with an option for every driver. The standard 3.6-liter V6 engine is perfect for everyday driving and light towing, with 305 horsepower and 260 horsepower for a 7,730-pound towing capacity. Meanwhile, the sought-after 5.7L V8 HEMI is available to provide a maximum towing capacity of 11,610 pounds with 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. The eTorque mild-hybrid technology is available for the HEMI engine to provide maximum fuel efficiency and a 12,750-pound towing capacity. The 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel is another option, offering 260 horsepower and an impressive 480 lb-ft of torque, hauling up to 12,560 pounds. Last but not least, the supercharged 6.2L V8 is exclusive to the Ram 1500 TRX, ripping out a heart-pounding 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. The Ram 1500 comes standard with rear-wheel drive powered by an 8-speed automatic transmission. However, to better handle our unpredictable weather, 4x4 is most commonly found here in Colorado.
Is the 2023 Ram 1500 Safe?
The Ram 1500 has been a top safety pick for many years, as Ram takes the safety of their drivers very seriously. The body of the Ram 1500 sits on a frame made of 97% high-strength steel, withstanding impact and keeping it away from the cabin and its occupants. Additionally, the Ram 1500 is equipped with six standard airbags for front and rear occupants. The front airbags use adaptive venting technology to change the airbag's deployment rate based on the occupant's size and weight and the severity of the crash. Brakes are everything when it comes to safety, and the Ram 1500 uses the largest brakes in its class as standard equipment, with a diameter of 14.9 inches for superior stopping power. Of course, the best collision is one that is prevented. That's why Ram offers a wide range of driver-aid technologies to help prevent collisions. These include but are not limited to adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, rear cross-traffic warning, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, blindspot monitoring, forward collision mitigation, and more.
