How much does the 2023 RAM 1500 cost?

Prices have softened 4.61% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 15,040 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and prices.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 a good car?

Yes — owners rate it 4.7/5, and the expert rating is 7.2/10. 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. That lines up with the truck’s polished, carlike feel and its appeal to buyers who want comfort and refinement as much as utility.

The trade-offs are clear: advanced safety features are not standard, and the competition offers more technology. It fits you best if you want a full-size truck with a premium cabin and smooth road manners rather than the most tech-forward setup.

Good and great deals account for 35.3% of listings, which is a healthy share for value-minded shoppers.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a truck that feels upscale, comfortable, and solid over time, with repeated praise for its dependable ride and strong performance. The expert review also emphasizes smooth operation from the powertrain and a well-matched automatic transmission, which supports the impression of a truck you can count on.

The cost-effectiveness notes also point to strong warranty coverage for the gas engine and roadside assistance, which helps reduce ownership anxiety. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic durability and more about choosing a well-maintained example with the features and configuration you want.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the cabin electronics, suspension, and any towing-related equipment, since condition and feature operation matter a lot on a truck like this. Focus on how the truck was used and whether the trim level matches the equipment you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Limited trim brings a more upscale cabin with leather, contrasting stitching, open-pore wood, metallic trim, and a 12-inch portrait-oriented screen, while lower trims use smaller infotainment displays and less premium materials.
• Powertrain: You can choose rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque standard on lower trims, a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with eTorque optional on lower trims and standard on upper trims, and a 3.0-liter diesel available on most trims.
• Safety package: Blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning are not standard and are instead optional or bundled into packages; automatic emergency braking is not standard either.
• Infotainment: Lower trims use a 5-inch screen, mid trims get an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and upper trims can have an available 12-inch portrait-oriented infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The 3.0-liter turbo diesel returns 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined, while V8 4WD eTorque models are rated at 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 19 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, but it’s also the most basic, so it makes the most sense if you want the truck’s core capability and plan to keep costs down.
• Tradesman HFE: Choose this if efficiency matters more than luxury, since it sits near the entry point while aiming to improve fuel economy.
• Big Horn/Lone Star: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more everyday appeal without jumping straight to the premium end of the lineup.
• Laramie: This is the right step up if you want a more upscale feel and more comfort-focused equipment without going all the way to the top trims.
• Rebel: Pick this if you want a more rugged personality and the off-road-oriented equipment that sets it apart from the comfort-first trims.
• Limited Longhorn: This trim leans into premium materials and a more distinctive upscale look, making it a strong choice if cabin presentation matters to you.
• Limited: This is the most polished mainstream choice, with leather, wood trim, and the available 12-inch portrait-oriented screen making it the best fit for buyers who want luxury-truck vibes.
• TRX: This is the extreme performance model, with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 and a much more aggressive character than the rest of the lineup.

Advanced safety features are not standard on the lineup, so check carefully for the driver-assistance equipment 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 have room to shop carefully without rushing every listing.

• Deal availability: 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 15,040 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.61% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $35,363, 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 $35,363 sits slightly below last year's $37,070.

That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now, but it also means future resale gains may be more gradual. If you plan to sell later, a truck bought at a softer price point gives you a better chance of limiting depreciation exposure.

The model’s strong owner satisfaction should help support demand when it’s time to resell. Well-kept examples with the right trim and equipment should remain appealing to used-truck shoppers.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 RAM 1500 safe?

The Ram 1500 earns five-star ratings 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 safety story is mixed because the truck does well in crash testing but falls short on standard driver assistance. Nothing is standard across the board, not even automatic emergency braking, and 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 cover 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:

• 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.61% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the upscale cabin, smooth ride, and strong powertrain that define this generation.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $32,231, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $35,363 average.
• It blends design, comfort, utility, technology, and driving character in a polished way.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market selection and a truck that still feels upscale and well-liked, the 2023 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2022 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the core Ram strengths.
