Used 2023 RAM 1500 for Sale nearOklahoma City, OK

How much does the 2023 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 2.27% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,548 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — the 2023 RAM 1500 earns a 4.65/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise the upscale interior, comfortable ride, solid performance, stylish design, and good fuel economy for its size. Those strengths line up well with the truck’s use case if you want a full-size pickup that feels more refined and less purely work-focused.

The main trade-offs are that advanced safety features are not standard and the competition offers more technology. That matters most if you want the latest driver aids or a more tech-heavy cabin.

Good and great deals account for 33.7% of listings, so there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 reliable?

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

Owner feedback points to a reliable, comfortable, and solid-feeling truck that many drivers expect to hold up well over time. The expert evaluation also emphasizes the Ram’s smooth, composed driving character and strong overall execution, which supports the case for dependable day-to-day use.

The gas powertrain comes with a five-year/60,000-mile warranty, and roadside assistance runs for five years or 100,000 miles. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about basic durability and more about finding a well-kept example with the features and condition you want.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the market looks clean overall. Prioritize an inspection of the cabin, electronics, and any towing-related equipment, since feature issues and wear can matter more than mileage alone. Focus on condition, because this truck’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been maintained and equipped.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lower trims start with a smaller 5-inch infotainment screen, while mid trims typically use an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Higher trims bring a 12-inch portrait-oriented screen, plus more upscale interior materials and available appearance upgrades.
• Powertrain: You can get a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque, a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with eTorque, or a 3.0-liter diesel, all paired with an eight-speed automatic. The V8 brings strong off-the-line power, while the mild-hybrid system helps with fuel economy and smoother stop/start operation.
• Safety package: Advanced driver aids are not standard, and even automatic emergency braking is not standard across the board. Blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning are optional or bundled, and blind-spot monitoring can extend to trailer coverage when equipped.
• Infotainment: Lower trims use a 5-inch screen, mid trims get an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and upper trims can have a 12-inch portrait-oriented infotainment display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and the system can support dual-phone Bluetooth use.
• Fuel efficiency: The V8 4WD eTorque setup is rated at 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. The diesel returns 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 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 sense if you want the Ram’s core capability without paying for luxury extras. It is the trim to consider if value matters most and you can live with the simpler standard equipment.
• Tradesman HFE: Choose this if you want a lower-cost Ram with a stronger efficiency focus than the standard work-truck setup. It is best for buyers who care more about operating costs than upscale features.
• Big Horn/Lone Star: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it moves you into a more appealing everyday truck without jumping too far up the price ladder. It should suit you if you want a balanced mix of comfort, utility, and features.
• Laramie: Pick this if you want a more premium cabin and a stronger luxury feel without going all the way to the top trims. It is a good fit if interior quality matters a lot to you.
• Rebel: This is the trim to choose if you want a more rugged personality and off-road-oriented hardware. It stands apart from the comfort-focused trims and suits buyers who want a tougher look and trail-ready capability.
• Limited Longhorn: This is for you if you want upscale materials and a more distinctive premium presentation. It leans more toward style and comfort than work-truck simplicity.
• Limited: This is the most polished all-around choice if you want the richest interior and the most upscale feel. It is the trim that best matches the Ram’s luxury-truck personality.
• TRX: This is the high-performance, extreme off-road model, and it is the one to buy if outright power and desert-running capability are your priorities. It is not the sensible choice, but it is the most specialized.

The safety package is not standard across the lineup, so make sure the trim you choose includes the driver aids you want.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,548 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.27% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $35,611, 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 $37,001 sits slightly below last year's $37,861.

That kind of price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it means resale value may remain supported, but you should not expect a strong appreciation story from this model year alone.

The truck’s broad appeal, upscale reputation, and strong owner satisfaction should help keep demand steady. Even so, resale will still depend heavily on trim, mileage, condition, and whether the truck has the features buyers want.

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 earns five-star ratings from NHTSA, and 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. Other features like blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning are all either optional or part of a package.

If you do add blind-spot monitoring, it can cover the length of any trailer you might be dragging behind you. That is especially useful if you tow in traffic or tight spaces. The main caveat is that you need to check trim and option content carefully, because the safety story changes depending on how the truck is equipped.

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:

• 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.27% 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 upscale, smooth-riding character.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $33,439, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $37,001 average.
• It blends style, comfort, utility, technology, and a relaxed driving character especially well.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year pricing context and the added 2023 tech update, the 2023 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2022 is the smarter value play, especially if you find one in strong condition with the equipment you want.
