There’s a lot to love with the 2023 RAM 1500. First and foremost, it’s a mighty pickup that boasts some serious towing and hauling power, and tops a lot of rivals as the best in its class. But inside it is a comfortable, airy interior with plenty of excellent tech available.
The Ultimate Powertrain Lineup
In 2023, engines are assisted by a 48-volt hybrid system. The 1500’s base engine is a robust 3.6-liter V6 that gets you 205 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque.
The 3.0-liter V6, making 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque, is a diesel, while the 5.6-liter Hemi V8 with 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque is available without electric support. The supercharged 6.2-liter V8 makes an outstanding 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.
Ride, Tow, and Haul Like a Pro
The RAM’s suspension is extremely well-tuned, using coil or air springs rather than traditional leaf springs for better flexibility and comfort. The result is a ride so smooth, you’ll hardly believe you’re in a pickup.
Steering is also incredibly responsive, boosting confidence around sharp turns. The 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds and can carry a payload of up to 2320 pounds. The extended cab body style is a must-have for those with major towing goals.
A Fantastic, Roomy Cabin
The 1500’s interior is littered with upscale materials and nice touches, creating a luxurious atmosphere that redefines what a pickup is capable of. Additional lush features like heated and ventilated seats, a single-pane or dual-pane sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, premium leather seats, and genuine wood accents are available.
It’s a supremely spacious area, seating up to six people who will enjoy plenty of legroom. Attentively-designed cubby storage spots add to the space’s expansiveness.
Clever, Contemporary Technology
RAM’s infotainment system is intuitive and easy to use, thanks in part to a very responsive 5-inch touchscreen. You can upgrade that to either an 8.4 or 12-inch touchscreen, plus add features like satellite radio, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster display, and even a 19-speaker stereo.
A suite of useful safety features are available, including stop-and-go adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring, so you can feel at peace on the road.
The 1500 has so much to offer as both a work truck and a family vehicle, which is likely why it’s one of the most-loved pickups on the market. Whether you need to tow, haul, take the kids to school, or just hit the open road, RAM has you covered.
