The new 2023 Ram 1500: Stronger than ever
The new 2023 Ram 1500 is the full-size pickup with all the momentum. While Ford and Chevy seem content to rest on their laurels, the Ram 1500 keeps finding new ways to be awesome. It keeps winning accolades from automotive experts at respected publications like MotorTrend and Car and Driver. It continues to be regarded as the #1 pickup in its class and it continues to be #1 with us at Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Columbus in Columbus IN. Here's why we feel confident it belongs at the top of every Indiana buyer's shopping list.
What's new for 2023?
For the latest model year, the new Ram 1500 has a new Limited Elite Edition that includes a multifunction tailgate along with tailgate convenience features in the rear. Inside you'll find a new jeweled rotary shifter, a suede headliner, a unique instrument cluster, a heated steering wheel and premium heated and ventilated leather seats.
In addition, there's a newly available 12.0-inch instrument cluster that's fully digital. The glove box now features a hygienic UV light and the rear seat reminder now comes standard.
Trim levels
The new 2023 Ram 1500 gives truck buyers from Seymour and Franklin, IN a total of seven trims to choose from:
- Tradesman
- HFE
- Big Horn
- Laramie
- Rebel
- Longhorn
- Limited
Engine choices
The new Ram 1500 gives you a choice of four different engines. All of them are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive comes standard in most models and four-wheel drive is an available option. Here's a menu of your available engine choices:
The base level gas-powered engine gives you 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. It can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds.
3.0-Liter Turbodiesel V6
Ram's muscular diesel engine delivers 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque, and it can travel from zero to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds.
5.7-Liter V8
The smaller V8 is still powerful with 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. Acceleration is impressive with a zero-to-60-mph time of 5.9 seconds.
6.2-Liter Supercharged V8 (TRX)
The Ram 1500 TRX is a beast of a truck and the fastest gas-powered full-size pickup you can buy. It gives you a mind-boggling 702 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. If you watch the new TRX model perform, you'd better stand back. It can race from zero to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds.
Important engine and performance notes
Both the V6 and V8 gasoline engines are assisted by a 48-volt hybrid system although you can get the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 in a more pure form without the electric support. The 260-horsepower diesel V6 is available with the 1500 Tradesman, the Big Horn, the Lone Star, the Laramie, the Limited Longhorn and the Limited trims.
Every Ram 1500 gives you a great ride thanks to a rear suspension system that uses standard coil springs or optional air springs instead of the more traditional leaf-spring setup you'll find with domestic competitors. Ram 1500 models with air suspension even come with an adjustable ride height which improves fuel efficiency and helps boost performance off-road.
Towing and payload capacity
The new 2023 Ram 1500 can tow as much as 12,750 pounds and pack a payload of up to 2,320 pounds. Its maximum towing capacity beats most other comparable rivals. If you get a Ram 1500 with the extended cab you can tow more than versions with the crew cab body style, but the crew cab still has plenty of muscle and can tow up to 11,500 pounds.
Cargo space in the bed
The 2023 Ram 1500 with the 67-inch bed gives you 53.9 cubic feet which is more than the comparable Ford F-150 pickup. The Ram 1500 with the 76-inch bed gives you 61.5 cubic feet of cargo space.
Fuel economy
According to the EPA, the most fuel-efficient Ram 1500 is the rear-wheel drive diesel that delivers a combined fuel economy rating of 26 MPG on streets and highways around Greenwood and Bloomington, IN. The gas-powered V6 engine gets up to 23 MPG combined and the gas-powered V8 delivers 20 MPG combined.
Interior comfort and quality
The new Ram 1500 sets the bar for interior quality and that means the standards are way up there. Lower trims come with nice touches and higher trims feel more like a luxury car than a pickup truck. Most models are available with upscale features like heated and ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof, and the highest trims give you premium leather surfaces and genuine wood accents.
Infotainment technology
The latest edition of the Ram 1500 offers an available 8.4-inch touch screen or a larger 12-inch display. Also available are features like smartphone connectivity, satellite radio and a premium Harman Kardon stereo with 19 speakers. In addition, you can upgrade to add a remote start feature, two household-style power outlets and a dual pane sunroof.
Safety technology
The new Ram 1500 comes with a standard rear view camera and offers available safety features like blind-spot monitoring, a head up display and a rear-cross traffic alert. As you can see, there's no need to settle for an ordinary truck when you can drive home to Indianapolis IN in the new 2023 Ram 1500 from Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Columbus in Columbus IN.
