Is the 2023 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.65/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a truck that feels dependable, with praise centered on its comfortable, upscale character and solid performance over time. The expert notes also reinforce that impression by emphasizing smooth operation and a well-sorted powertrain.

The gas engine comes with a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, which helps reduce early ownership risk for used buyers.

For a used truck, the main long-term risk is less about basic durability and more about how the truck was equipped and maintained, especially if it was used for towing or heavy-duty work.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 RAM 1500?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. A pre-purchase inspection matters too, especially if the truck has towing hardware, off-road equipment, or higher mileage. Focus on cabin condition, electronics, and signs of hard use in the bed, suspension, and drivetrain.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup spans Tradesman, Tradesman HFE, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, Limited and TRX. Lower trims start with a small 5-inch infotainment screen, while mid trims move up to an 8.4-inch touchscreen; upper trims bring a 12-inch portrait-oriented screen and a more upscale cabin with leather, wood trim, and a more premium presentation.
• Powertrain: You can get rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with a 3.6-liter V6 eTorque mild hybrid on lower trims, a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 eTorque on lower and upper trims, and a 3.0-liter diesel on most trims. The TRX uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V8.
• Safety package: Automatic emergency braking is not standard, and blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning are optional or bundled. If equipped, blind-spot monitoring can account for a trailer.
• Infotainment: Lower trims use a 5-inch screen, mid trims typically get an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and upper trims can have a 12-inch portrait-oriented display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and the available setup can add a head-up display, digital rearview mirror, and surround-view camera system.
• Fuel efficiency: The V8 4WD eTorque setup is rated at 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. The diesel is rated at 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined, while the TRX returns 10 mpg city, 14 mpg highway, and 12 mpg combined.

Which 2023 RAM 1500 trim should I buy?

The 2023 RAM 1500 is offered in 8 trim levels: Tradesman, Tradesman HFE, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, Limited and TRX.

Here's the short version:

• Tradesman: This is the least expensive path into the lineup, and it makes the most sense if you want the Ram’s core capability without paying for luxury extras. It’s the trim to start with if value matters most, but you’ll be giving up the richer cabin and larger screens found higher up.
• Tradesman HFE: Choose this if you want a lower-cost Ram with a stronger efficiency focus than the standard work-truck setup. It’s still a practical entry point, but it’s not the trim for shoppers chasing premium features.
• Big Horn/Lone Star: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more everyday appeal without jumping too far up the price ladder. It’s the sweet spot if you want a more polished truck than the base model but don’t need luxury appointments.
• Laramie: Step here if you want a more upscale interior and a stronger tech experience. It’s a good fit if comfort and cabin quality matter more than keeping the purchase as lean as possible.
• Rebel: Pick this if you want the more rugged-looking, off-road-oriented version of the Ram 1500 lineup. The content points to a 1-inch lift, skid plates, and hill-descent control.
• Limited Longhorn: This trim is for buyers who want a more premium, Western-flavored luxury feel. It sits near the top of the range and is aimed at shoppers who care about materials and presentation.
• Limited: This is the luxury-leaning choice if you want the most polished everyday Ram 1500 experience. It brings the upscale cabin treatment, the 12-inch portrait screen, and the kind of equipment that makes the truck feel especially refined.
• TRX: This is the extreme performance model, with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 and serious off-road hardware. It’s the right pick only if you want the most aggressive, most expensive, and least fuel-efficient version.

Safety features are not standard across the lineup, so check carefully for the driver-assistance equipment you want before you buy.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 RAM 1500?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough price softness to create opportunities.

• Deal availability: 35.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,786 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.90% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $35,563, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 RAM 1500's resale value?

The current average of $35,884 sits slightly below last year's $37,340.

That softer pricing suggests the truck has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right number. If you purchase near the lower end of the current range, you may have a better chance of limiting your loss when it’s time to sell.

The market also shows steady demand, which matters for resale because trucks with broad appeal tend to move more easily on the used market. Strong owner satisfaction can help support that demand over time.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.65/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 safe?

The 2023 Ram 1500 crew cab earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, and the IIHS gives it Good marks across the board except for Marginal grades for seat belt reminders and LATCH ease of use.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The Ram 1500 falters a bit on standard advanced driver-assist systems. Nothing is standard across the board, not even automatic emergency braking. Blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning are all optional or bundled into packages.

If you add blind-spot monitoring, it can account for the length of a trailer, which is especially useful when towing in traffic. The IIHS also notes that Limited, Longhorn, and TRX headlights earn Good grades, while all other trims get Marginal marks.

Should I buy a 2023 RAM 1500 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 35.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.90% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.65/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 adds an available reconfigurable 12-inch gauge cluster and keeps the Ram’s smooth ride and upscale cabin appeal.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $32,645, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $35,884 average.
• It blends design, comfort, utility, technology, and driving character in a well-rounded way.

The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced shopping target, the 2023 is the stronger pick because it combines softer pricing, solid inventory, and the Ram’s familiar comfort-first appeal. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 is the smarter value play, especially if you find one in good condition with the equipment you want.
