How much does the 2023 RAM 2500 cost?

Prices have softened 6.70% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,634 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

If you find a listing below $49,133.52, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 RAM 2500 a good car?

Generally — the 4.2/5 user rating points to a truck that most owners feel good about, and the expert rating is 7.5/10.

The standout strength is Performance at 9/10.

Owners repeatedly praise its power, comfort, and value for towing and utility features, and they also like the technology and luxury touches. The truck is framed as a spacious, comfortable heavy-duty pickup that still feels usable day to day, which matters if you want capability without giving up everyday livability.

The trade-offs are real: the column shifter feels flimsy, entry and exit are difficult, and the turbodiesel engine option is expensive. The expert notes also point to a truck that is more purpose-built than easygoing, especially if you prioritize a softer daily-driving experience.

With that in mind, the 2023 RAM 2500 makes the most sense if you want a rugged heavy-duty truck with strong towing and off-road appeal, plus enough comfort to live with regularly. Good and great deals account for 31.9% of listings, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 RAM 2500 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.2/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a truck that many people feel meets their needs well, with power and comfort standing out as recurring positives. It also suggests that buyers see it as a solid value for towing and utility features, which usually helps confidence in long-term ownership.

The expert notes describe the truck as surprisingly smooth, unexpectedly docile, and remarkably refined in everyday driving, which supports the idea that it can be a dependable companion if you use it as intended. The available diesel also brings strong efficiency for a heavy-duty truck, though its higher purchase price means you need to think carefully about whether the added cost makes sense for your usage.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the truck’s transmission and overall condition check out before you commit.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 RAM 2500?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.4% — 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 focuses on wear from towing, off-road use, and any signs of hard use in the cabin or drivetrain. Pay close attention to how the truck enters and exits, how the controls feel, and whether the truck’s equipment matches the way you plan to use it.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Rebel has a crew-cab configuration with a 6-foot, 4-inch cargo bed, an aggressive blacked-out look, 20-inch wheels, and an aluminum sport hood. It skips the Power Wagon’s graphics, 17-inch wheels, and integrated winch, so you should make sure the equipment matches the kind of off-road use you actually want.
• Powertrain: The standard 6.4-liter V8 makes 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and 4WD. A 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel inline-six is also available, making 370 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque with a six-speed automatic, but it costs significantly more.
• Safety package: The available driver-assistance suite includes automatic high-beam headlights, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind
