overall

Summary
With 1,302 currently listed for sale near Raleigh, NC and an average price of $37,100, 31.2% of 2023 RAM 1500s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2023 RAM 1500 4.65 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.17 / 10.
100.0% of 2023 RAM 1500 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 RAM 1500 stands out because it blends pickup capability with a more upscale feel than many buyers expect from a full-size truck. It has been a perennial favorite, and even without a major update since 2019, it still holds its own against the competition. One of its biggest strengths is ride quality, which helps it feel more refined on the road than a typical work-focused truck. It also earns points for strong powertrain performance and premium interior materials, giving it a more polished character inside and out.
That upscale impression is reinforced by owner feedback, which commonly praises the comfortable ride, solid performance, and stylish design. Buyers looking for a truck that feels more luxurious than utilitarian may find that appealing, especially since the 2023 RAM 1500 is also noted for good fuel economy for its size. The tradeoffs are worth keeping in mind, though: advanced safety features are not standard, and the competition offers more technology. Some owners also mention a small back seat and minor issues with specific features, so it is not the most spacious or most tech-rich choice in the segment.

There are 9,643 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2023 RAM 1500 a good car?
Yes — owners rate it 4.65/5, and the expert rating is 7.17/10. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Performance.
You get repeated praise for the upscale interior, comfortable ride, solid performance, stylish design, and good fuel economy for its size. Those strengths line up with the truck’s more premium personality, especially if you want a full-size pickup that feels more refined than purely work-focused.
The 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.
For buyers who want a truck that can handle daily driving, family duty, and towing while still feeling upscale, this model fits well. Good and great deals account for 33.3% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2023 RAM 1500 reliable?
Owners rate it 4.65/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner summary points to a truck that feels comfortable, solid, and dependable in everyday use, with praise centered on its upscale interior and smooth driving character. That kind of feedback usually matters most when you’re trying to judge whether a used truck will feel trouble-free over time.
The expert evaluation also emphasizes the Ram’s smooth ride, strong powertrain, and well-matched eight-speed automatic, all of which support a durable, easy-to-live-with ownership experience. The diesel option also comes with a longer powertrain warranty, which adds some peace of mind for buyers considering that setup.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about core capability and more about feature complexity and trim-specific equipment, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 RAM 1500?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings can vary in condition and equipment. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on higher-trim trucks with more electronics and optional features. Focus on cabin wear, infotainment behavior, and any signs that towing or heavy use may have accelerated wear.
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 use a small 5-inch infotainment screen, while mid trims typically get an 8.4-inch touchscreen; the upper trims bring the 12-inch portrait-oriented screen and a more upscale cabin with leather, open-pore wood, and richer trim details.
- 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. The TRX uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V8.
- Safety package: The truck does not make advanced driver aids standard. Automatic emergency braking is not standard, and blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning are optional or bundled in packages. If equipped, blind-spot monitoring can extend to cover a trailer.
- Infotainment: Lower trims get a 5-inch screen, mid trims usually get an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and upper trims can have the available 12-inch portrait-oriented display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and the upper trims can add a head-up display, digital rearview mirror, and surround-view camera system.
- Fuel efficiency: The diesel returns 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. V8 4WD eTorque models are rated at 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 19 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, but it is also the most basic. It makes sense if you want the Ram’s core capability and are willing to give up the richer cabin materials and larger screens found higher up.
- Tradesman HFE: Choose this if you want a more efficiency-focused version of the entry trim. It is still a work-first truck, so it is best for buyers who care more about value and fuel use than luxury features.
- Big Horn/Lone Star: This is the first trim where the truck starts to feel more broadly appealing for everyday use. It is a sensible middle-ground choice if you want more comfort and convenience without jumping too far in price.
- Laramie: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it moves the Ram closer to its upscale personality without pushing all the way into luxury pricing. It is a strong pick if you want a nicer cabin and more features while staying relatively rational.
- Rebel: Pick this if you want the more rugged character in the lineup. It is the trim that leans toward off-road use, with 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 builds on the Ram’s upscale interior theme and suits shoppers who care about materials and presentation.
- Limited: This is the luxury-leaning choice if you want the most polished everyday experience. It brings the 12-inch portrait-oriented screen, leather, open-pore wood, and available equipment like the head-up display, digital rearview mirror, and surround-view camera system.
- TRX: This is the performance and off-road halo model. It uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 and is the most extreme choice in the lineup.
Advanced safety features are not standard, so if driver aids matter to you, check the equipment list carefully on any trim you consider.
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 with some leverage if you’re patient.
- Deal availability: 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 9,643 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.89% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 86.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $35,582, 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 $36,554 sits slightly below last year's $37,642.
That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on trim, condition, mileage, and equipment rather than on broad market appreciation.
The Ram’s strong owner satisfaction helps support demand, especially because shoppers continue to value its upscale cabin and smooth ride. If you keep the truck clean, well maintained, and properly documented, you should be in a better position when it’s time to sell.
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 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 not make advanced driver-assistance features standard. Automatic emergency braking is not standard, and blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning are optional or bundled into packages.
If you tow, the available blind-spot monitoring can extend coverage to the length of a trailer, which is a useful feature. The main caveat is that some IIHS results are only Marginal, and the lack of standard driver aids is a real drawback if safety tech is a priority.
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:
- 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.89% 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 ride-and-cabin formula intact.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $33,183, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $36,554 average.
- It blends style, comfort, utility, technology, and a relaxed driving character better than many rivals.
The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped and more current shopping pool, the 2023 is the stronger target. If your priority is saving money and you still want the Ram’s comfort-first personality, the 2022 is the smarter value play.
